The Employment Placement Agencies industry plays an important role in finding and matching job seekers with company employers, which is crucial for employment growth and filling job vacancies. The industry’s performance largely depends on the economic climate, the hiring intentions of business and any government policies that target employment reforms. In the last few years, a series of new initiatives, like the launch of France Travail in 2024, employment reforms and President Emannuel Macron’s target for “full employment” by 2027, has seen agencies play a crucial role in navigating these changes and filling job vacancies. Revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.9% over the five years through 2025 to €1.1 billion. The last few years have seen agencies’ performance fluctuate. They struggled when everything ground to a halt in 2020 thanks to COVID-19, leading companies to freeze their hiring processes and scrap any expansion plans and putting a big dent in agencies’ revenue. However, in 2022 and 2023, there was a hiring boom globally that saw many agencies benefit greatly from increased business activity. Now, sluggish economic growth in 2024, driven by a high inflationary period and high interest rates, has led to more stagnant job creation, weighing on demand for agencies. Still, unemployment in France remains historically low and despite it being projected to slowly creep up through to 2026, investment in engaging inactive workers and young people into the labour force is expected to help revenue climb 7% in 2025. Looking ahead, different sectors look set to fare differently. Economic forecasts aren’t painting an optimistic picture for the French economy or labour market, with unemployment projected to rise to 7.6% in 2026 according to Eurostat. Political uncertainty will continue to dent business confidence and make companies more reluctant to expand and hire new employees, dampening job vacancy numbers. Nonetheless, initiatives like France Travail will help facilitate job placements and new technology will shake up the job market. Revenue is anticipated to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2030 to €1.3 billion.
