An independent French group
The temporary staffing and recruitment landscape in France is dominated by a few major international groups, often publicly listed and governed abroad.
Actual is one of the few major players in the sector to maintain independent French governance, driven by a long-term entrepreneurial and family-held vision.
This independence is no minor detail. It defines the freedom of our strategic choices, the consistency of our decisions, and our ability to act with constancy, free from short-term thinking or external shareholder pressure. It allows us to invest for the long haul: in our employees, in our local regions, and in strategic activities that may yield low short-term returns, such as work integration.
Added to this independence is an explicit commitment: actively contributing to public employment policies, taking part in the quest for full employment, supporting the education and training of tomorrow's talent, and acting in favor of equal opportunity.

People at the heart of our vision of work
We are passionately human
We put men and women at the heart of our core businesses and daily operations, both for candidates and companies, to bring meaning back to work. Our human-centric approach is reflected in listening, respect, kindness, and consideration for every journey.
We are bold
Daring, experimenting, sometimes making mistakes, always starting again: that is how we move forward. We refuse to view the job market as an inevitability. Where others see rigid rules, we look for new paths. This mindset led us to invent new forms of employment, and it drives us every day to imagine even more.
We are responsible
We are mindful of our role in work integration and access to employment. Across France, we create human, practical solutions to connect talent with companies, and we take full responsibility for the impact of our work on the lives of the people we support.
We are close to you
Established throughout mainland France and its overseas territories, we combine attentive listening, care, and proximity. We guide candidates, clients, and employees with agility to create the best professional matches.
