What Plateforme i does

Plateforme i is a Paris-based non-profit association within Groupe SOS that provides inclusive-employment and recruitment services to employers, public institutions, insertion structures, and job seekers. Its portfolio includes recruitment structuring, CV-free job dating, recruitment-inclusivity measurement, awareness formats, Qualiopi-certified training, and advisory programs such as Confiance & Compétences and Teame. Delivery is human-led through consulting, workshops, training, and field support in person and remotely rather than through a software platform.

Core methods include the Engagé! serious game, recruitment without CV, structured interviews, job scorecards, and evaluation based on competencies, potential, and motivation. Plateforme i says it tests its tools internally before client deployment; Teame combines a 10-week collective serious game with individual interviews and workshops over as long as five months. The organization reports 800+ insertion-counselor partners and a presence at roughly 15 Teame sites across mainland France and overseas territories.

Revenue comes from paid professional services and public co-financing or grants. Companies purchase training, sensitization, job dating, recruitment structuring, and impact-measurement engagements at quote-based rates, while full public pricing is not disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily direct B2B selling to HR, diversity, and executive stakeholders, supplemented by public-sector programs, events, webinars, referrals, and the Indeed partnership.

Others

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): French public employment service operating the national job-seeker registration and placement infrastructure. Adjacent rather than directly competitive; many of Plateforme i's insertion counselor partners and Teame candidates interact with France Travail as part of their pathway to employment.

Direct peers

• Article 1: French non-profit focused on equal opportunity in employment, mentoring young people from disadvantaged backgrounds toward corporate careers. Directly comparable as a French non-profit operating inclusive employment programs targeting both employers and job seekers.

Broad incumbents

• Randstad France: Leading French staffing firm with established inclusion programs for disadvantaged candidates and corporate diversity advisory. Comparable in targeting similar employer buyers with inclusive recruitment and integration services, though as a broader portfolio offering.
• ManpowerGroup France: Large French staffing group operating dedicated diversity and inclusion initiatives alongside core recruitment. Comparable in addressing employer needs around inclusive hiring but at far larger scale and broader scope.
• Adecco France: Major French staffing firm with dedicated inclusion and diversity programs (workforce integration, disability, etc.). Comparable as an established player offering inclusion-themed staffing and consulting to French enterprises, with much broader scale and service portfolio.

Comparable as a major French D&I ecosystem player; broader membership base but overlapping content and audience.
