He survived the first confinement with the slowdown in activity and came back in force during the second confinement. Since his arrival in France in the 1950s, the role of the interim is no longer only to respond to the temporary increase in activity, but to fulfill a strong societal mission in the face of unemployment and professional retraining.
Digital interim, an agile solution at the service of talents and companies
The evolution of the mentalities of talents with regard to work has begun: professional retraining, desire to combine personal project and professional life, search for meaning in one’s professional activity. A study * (1) confirms these trends: 78% of talents who plan to change jobs within 12 months want a meaningful job, and 72% think of retraining professionally.
Both employees and businesses need flexibility. The interim is able to respond to this request. The concept of flexibility (development of a employment contract to make it more flexible) satisfies the requirement of companies. On the talent side, temporary work offers the possibility of choosing between short and long assignments and to adapt the work periods to their lifestyle.
In the context of the health crisis, companies must adapt to economic changes. Interim is the ally that allows them to respond to these variables by taking into account the fluctuations inherent in their sectors (replacement of an employee, temporary increase in the company’s activity, etc.).
Technological revolution in employment – digital temporary workers in good shape to meet new needs
Digital temporary employment offers several advantages: speeding up and simplifying procedures for temporary workers and companies. For 84% of employers and 83% of people of working age, digital is seen as saving time * (1). Still on a technological level, the algorithms guarantee the compatibility of offers and profiles and fight against cognitive biases which can be a brake on diversity and inclusion in companies.
In addition, the evolution of digitization and robotization concerns more and more temporary assignments. Almost 46% of jobs are at risk of being fully or partially automated in OECD countries * (2).

It promotes transversal skills to arm talents in the face of job transformation. The needs for technicians and managerial jobs in industry are a prime example.
Digital interim, a major player in the recruitment of tomorrow
Beyond its historical sectors, the interim has the ability to adapt and offers a variety of new professions: digital twin technicians, automated production line operators in Industry 4.0, etc.
Temporary work supports a variety of talents: executives, intermediary professions, because this type of contract is no longer reserved for low-skilled trades, it attracts profiles in search of flexibility who wish to diversify their experiences.
The growing phenomenon of teleworking now affects the temporary jobs that adapt to their times. In terms of CSR, temporary work undertakes and rethinks the types of existing contracts via a new model of flexicurity which aims to reduce precariousness and to pose as an alternative to the insecure model of self-entrepreneurship. The contract offers more social benefits (end-of-mission indemnities, leave) but goes even further with the CD2I, a variation of the CDI adapted to temporary work.
Temporary work, which concerns a multitude of sectors, plays a major role in the world of work. With its agility and technological advantages, it has established itself as the key player in the recruitment of tomorrow and the trusted partner of talents and businesses.
