Kelyps INTERIM

What Kelyps INTERIM does

Kelyps INTERIM is a French temporary staffing agency and the flagship brand of Groupe Kelyps (legal entity SARL 2 AB, registered capital €1,150,000). Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Saint-Priest-en-Jarez in the Loire region, the company has grown to operate a network of 21–22 specialized physical agencies across France, primarily concentrated in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (Loire, Isère, Rhône, Drôme, Ain, Haute-Loire) with extensions into Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Pays de la Loire. As of recent disclosure, the group employs approximately 154 people, of whom roughly 82 are agency-network consultants, and has served more than 1,240 client companies.

Kelyps operates a multi-brand staffing ecosystem: Kelyps Intérim delivers the core temporary staffing (intérim) service across industrial, BTP (construction), tertiaire (administrative/office), logistics, and event sectors; Kelyps Médical extends staffing into healthcare (nurses, caregivers, pharmacists) for hospitals, EHPADs, and medical-social establishments; Exaltan RH provides permanent recruitment (CDD/CDI) and executive search; and Apidéa Formation offers professional training programs (CACES, electrical certifications, safety training). The company does not operate a proprietary digital matching platform — service delivery is human-mediated through physical agencies, supplemented by a website for job listings and a franchise model for agency expansion.

The business model is fee-based on temporary placements, with companies paying markup on worker wages (hourly rates disclosed at €11.88–€26/hour) and separate professional-services fees for permanent recruitment (annual salaries €28,000–€60,000). GTM is primarily direct/field sales through consultants who combine commercial and recruitment responsibilities, supplemented by digital marketing, social media presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), content marketing, and high-visibility sports sponsorships (notably AS Saint-Étienne, principal sponsor since the 2024–2025 season and partnered through 2028). The company remains privately held by co-founders Antoine Barthelémy and Alexandra Bonnassieux with no disclosed external funding.

Direct peers

• Synergie: French-headquartered multinational staffing group with extensive France branch network across industry, BTP, logistics, and tertiaire segments. Comparable to Kelyps as a multi-sector interim operator, though Synergie operates at materially larger scale with broader geographic and international reach.
• Aquila RH: French interim and recruitment franchise network operating across multiple sectors and regions through a franchise model. Highly comparable to Kelyps's franchise-enabled growth strategy and multi-sector BTP/industrie/tertiaire positioning.
• Randstad France: French subsidiary of Randstad, one of the world's largest staffing firms, providing interim, permanent placement, and HR services across France. Directly comparable because it competes for the same multi-sector temporary staffing contracts that anchor Kelyps's revenue.
• Kelly Services France: French arm of global staffing firm Kelly Services, providing temporary and permanent placement across technical, industrial, and office segments. Comparable to Kelyps in offering multi-sector temp staffing with an established client base across French regions.
• Crit Intérim: Major French interim staffing group serving industry, BTP, transport, and tertiary sectors with a multi-agency network. Directly comparable to Kelyps because both operate physical-agency-driven, multi-sector temp staffing models across regional French markets.
• Partnaire: French interim staffing group with a network of regional agencies serving industry, BTP, logistics, and tertiaire sectors. Directly comparable to Kelyps as a multi-sector, branch-based French temp staffing operator at similar mid-market scale.
• Manpower France: Major French interim staffing arm of ManpowerGroup, offering temporary, permanent, and specialized recruitment across industry, construction, and office segments. Directly competes with Kelyps in the same SMB-to-mid-market industrial and tertiaire staffing category, with broader geographic coverage.
• Adecco France: Leading French temp staffing brand of Adecco Group, providing interim, recruitment, and HR solutions across all sectors and regions of France. Directly comparable because it competes head-to-head with Kelyps for industrial, BTP, tertiaire, and event staffing contracts, though at vastly larger national scale.
• Adwork's: French interim staffing group with strong regional presence, particularly in industrial and BTP verticals. Comparable to Kelyps as a multi-agency French temp staffing operator serving similar SMB and mid-market industrial clients.

Emerging players

• Mister Temp': Tech-enabled French interim staffing platform using digital matching and rapid recruitment workflows to place temporary workers. Comparable to Kelyps as a French temp staffing operator but represents a digital-first competitive threat rather than a traditional agency match.
