Temporis is a French network of staffing agencies that supply companies with temporary workers and also help recruit for permanent roles. For a client company that means shifts covered fast and a flexible workforce; for a job seeker, a personal approach and work without a long search. It differs from the big corporate chains in the sector by standing on franchising: every agency is run by an independent entrepreneur rather than an appointed manager, and with this model the network blazed the trail for franchising in staffing.
