About us

A placement agency cannot charge workers fees for their assignment with a client company, or for training or assistance provided in the hiring process (for example, writing a CV).

A placement agency cannot offer workers a lower salary than that granted to employees of the client company who perform the same tasks in the same establishment solely on the basis of their employment status (for example, because they are paid by an agency or usually work fewer hours per week). If your company carries out more than one activity, this obligation only applies to salaried staff assigned to staff rental contracts.

A placement agency cannot prevent a client company from hiring a worker beyond six months after the start of their assignment.

Some agencies like Extra offer benefits such as group insurance, one statutory holiday more than labour standards require, a pension fund and a REVER.

Personnel agencies are there to help you find the ideal job that meets your criteria and requirements. Once the assignment has been accepted, the agency will email you the name of the client company, the duration of the assignment, the salary and the job description. The agency will also confirm your acceptance of these in writing.

It varies based on the positions and agreements with the client company. However, that doesn’t mean you have to work for the agency forever or change jobs.

Personnel agencies are there to help you find the ideal job in a single meeting. But as with all jobs, there is a candidate selection process. If you don’t match the company profile, the agencies don’t have to make you work.

No, personnel agencies are not non-profit organizations. They are private companies that recruit and place staff within their client companies. They must respect the selection criteria established by their client companies. This is not a place for obtaining advice on changing careers or writing a CV. Although agencies can advise you on how to perform well in an interview, it is not their purpose.
