OCEAL Intérim

What OCEAL Intérim does

OCEAL Intérim is a privately held, family-owned temporary staffing agency founded in 2003 in Dudelange, Luxembourg, and operating through two physical branch offices: the Dudelange headquarters focused on the tertiary, sales, and services sectors, and a second branch in Esch-sur-Alzette focused on industry and large-scale construction (BTP Gros œuvre). The agency serves seven professional sectors — Construction/Public Works, Industry, Sales & Services, Engineering/Studies/Consulting, Finance & HR, Administrative Support & Reception, and Logistics — placing temporary workers across blue-collar, technical, administrative, and finance roles for client companies in Luxembourg and, on a limited basis, into Belgium and the Grand Est/Lorraine regions of France. Its core offering is hourly/daily temporary placement billed to client companies, with the agency retaining the employer-of-record responsibilities for contracts, payroll, social declarations, medical visits, and training of the assigned interim workers.

The underlying technology is light and non-proprietary. The company relies on standard HR/staffing management software augmented by a digital document management and electronic-signature platform jointly implemented with Impleo in 2021 (the 'Zéro Papier' initiative), which allows temporary workers to view and sign contracts and payslips online. Distribution is split between direct, in-person interactions at the two branches, a multilingual corporate website with sector landing pages and self-service application forms, and active Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. The company holds ISO 45001 certification (obtained December 15, 2022), is an active FES federation member, adheres to the Vision Zero Accident initiative, and carries the Made in Luxembourg label.

Commercially, OCEAL generates revenue as a margin on the difference between the hourly/daily billing rates charged to client companies and the wages paid to placed temporary workers, with no public pricing disclosure. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting mid-market and SMB clients primarily through the branch network and word-of-mouth, with candidates acquired through referrals, organic social, and the website's SEO-structured sector pages. Leadership remains within the founding Semiglazoff family, with approximately 15 internal staff handling recruitment, payroll, HR administration, and management functions.

Revenue model

1. Temporary staffing / interim placement fees: OCEAL Intérim generates revenue by supplying temporary workers to client companies on a fee-per-mission basis. The agency handles all HR administration (contracts, payroll, social declarations, training) for the temporary workers placed at client sites. Revenue is earned as a margin on the hourly/daily billing rates charged to client companies minus the wages paid to temporary workers.

Core offering

OCEAL Intérim is a temporary staffing agency that recruits, vets, and places temporary workers with client companies across seven professional sectors (construction/public works, industry, sales and services, engineering/consulting, finance and HR, administrative support, and logistics). The agency manages the full HR lifecycle for placed workers, including contracts, payroll processing, social declarations, medical visits, and training, while offering a multilingual (French, German, English, Portuguese, Italian) interface suited to Luxembourg's diverse workforce.

Product overview

OCEAL Intérim is a human-sized temporary staffing and employment agency headquartered in Luxembourg, founded in 2003. The company operates as a single unified service offering—temporary staffing (intérim) placement across seven professional sectors—rather than a modular software platform. Their core offering combines temporary worker placement with customized HR services and sector-specific recruitment expertise, all delivered through two physical agency locations (Dudelange and Esch-sur-Alzette).

Direct peers

• Grafton Recruitment: Mid-sized recruitment and staffing firm with a Luxembourg presence (part of the Grafton Group). Closely comparable to OCEAL in size and positioning, offering temporary and permanent staffing across office, industrial, and technical roles in Luxembourg.
• Hays Luxembourg: Specialist recruitment firm with a strong Luxembourg office, focused on professional and technical placements. Comparable to OCEAL's Bureau d'étude / Ingénierie / Conseil and Finance & RH segments, though more white-collar focused.

Broad incumbents

• Adecco Luxembourg: Luxembourg arm of the global staffing leader Adecco Group. Directly competes with OCEAL across temporary and permanent placements in Luxembourg's industrial, construction, and administrative segments, but operates at vastly larger scale with broader service portfolio.
• Manpower Luxembourg: Global staffing major with a Luxembourg office, offering temporary staffing, permanent placement, and workforce solutions. Direct competitor to OCEAL in industrial, construction, and clerical temp placements in the same Luxembourg market.
• Randstad Luxembourg: Luxembourg subsidiary of Randstad, the world's second-largest staffing firm. Competes with OCEAL across white-collar and blue-collar temp placements, including the construction and industrial sectors that form OCEAL's core.
• Gi Group Luxembourg: European-headquartered staffing firm with operations in Luxembourg, offering temporary staffing, permanent placement, and outsourcing. Competes with OCEAL across multiple sectors including industry, construction, and administrative roles.

Regional players

• Robert Half: Global specialist in finance, accounting, and administrative staffing. Overlaps with OCEAL's Finance & RH and Back-office segments, though Robert Half's primary reach in the region is via France and Belgium rather than direct Luxembourg presence.
• Covalen: Irish-based staffing and workforce solutions provider offering temporary, contract, and permanent placements. Comparable business model to OCEAL in serving SMB and mid-market clients across industrial, commercial, and administrative segments, though focused on the Irish market.

Emerging players
