With thirty new agencies each year, the group now has 200 agencies in France and 10 in Italy. Since Montefiore’s investment in 2017, Mistertemp’ group’s annual business volume has grown by 25% per annum, reaching €420M in 2023.
Through its Lynx RH brands for support functions, engineering and IT, Aquila RH for industry, logistics and BTP and Vitalis Medical for health professionals, more than 60,000 people thus work for 12,000 small-and medium-sized company and large account clients. For around thirty large account clients, Mistertemp’ group has specifically implemented its “Digital Onsite” offer which combines the strength of its digital tools with the physical presence of HR experts of the Mistertemp’ group on the large sites of its clients.
The group now seeks to exceed €1Bn in business volume by 2028, by rolling out networks throughout French and Italian territories and expanding across new countries such as Germany and Spain, as well as reinforcing its digital platform.
