Introduction
Founded in 2015, Groupement D’Employeurs Du Mesnil is a collective of local businesses united by a shared goal: to create sustainable employment opportunities while supporting the growth and stability of our region’s economy. We operate from our base in Blacqueville, in the heart of Normandy, where we work closely with companies and individuals to match workforce needs with talent.
Our role is to bring together employers from diverse sectors and pool their employment requirements. By doing so, we make it possible for people to access stable, long-term jobs, even when individual companies cannot offer full-time positions on their own. This approach not only benefits workers, who gain job security, but also businesses, which can rely on a skilled and committed workforce when they need it.
Our Story
When we began in 2015, the idea of a “groupement d’employeurs” was still relatively new to many businesses in our area. At that time, several local companies were struggling to find and retain staff, while skilled workers were often forced into short-term contracts or unemployment.
The founders of Groupement D’Employeurs Du Mesnil recognized a simple but powerful truth: many staffing needs were compatible if they could be coordinated. A carpenter might need someone for two days a week, a logistics company might require the same skill for another two, and a local manufacturer could benefit from that worker on the remaining day.
By creating a formal structure to share employees between businesses, we established a system that was fair, efficient, and sustainable. Since then, we have grown steadily, building a network of member companies and supporting a wide range of professional roles.
What We Do
At the core of our work is the principle of mutual benefit. We connect:
- Businesses that have specific staffing needs but cannot always justify hiring full-time employees.
- Workers who are seeking reliable, ongoing employment without the uncertainty of constantly changing contracts.
Our team manages the administrative and legal aspects of employment so that both parties can focus on their priorities: for businesses, that means running their operations effectively; for workers, it means performing their roles with dedication and confidence.
We recruit, hire, and place employees according to the needs of our member companies, ensuring that contracts are fair, compliant, and in line with current labor laws.
Our Values
The way we work is shaped by a set of values that guide our decisions and relationships.
- Collaboration – We believe that working together creates better results for everyone.
- Trust – We handle employment matters with integrity, ensuring transparency for both workers and employers.
- Sustainability – Our approach aims for long-term stability, not short-term fixes.
- Professional Development – We encourage skill growth, helping workers advance their careers while meeting evolving business needs.
- Local Commitment – We are dedicated to strengthening the economic and social fabric of our region.
Why Our Model Works
Traditional employment models do not always fit the realities of today’s economy, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Seasonal demands, fluctuating workloads, and limited budgets can make full-time hiring difficult. Meanwhile, skilled workers want stable contracts and consistent hours.
By pooling resources, our member companies can:
- Share the cost of an employee while still having access to their skills when needed.
- Adapt more flexibly to changes in demand without compromising on quality.
- Retain talent in the region rather than losing skilled workers to larger cities or other industries.
For employees, our model offers:
- The security of a permanent contract (CDI) while working for different companies.
- The opportunity to develop varied skills across multiple work environments.
- A stronger sense of belonging and purpose compared to temporary or casual work.
The People Behind the Name
While our structure is legal and organizational, our real strength lies in the people who make it work. Our team is made up of professionals who understand both the human and business sides of employment. We take the time to know each company’s culture and each worker’s aspirations so that placements are successful and lasting.
We see ourselves as more than intermediaries. We are facilitators of opportunity, advocates for fair employment, and partners in regional development.
Our Impact
Since our foundation, Groupement D’Employeurs Du Mesnil has helped create and maintain many jobs in the region. Our member companies range from small family businesses to larger enterprises, each benefiting from the flexibility and reliability our system provides.
We are proud to have contributed to reducing unemployment in our area and to have enabled many individuals to find professional stability without leaving their home region. This local focus means that the economic benefits stay within our community, reinforcing the long-term prosperity of our area.
Looking Ahead
The employment landscape is always changing, and we are committed to evolving with it. As industries adapt to new technologies, environmental challenges, and shifting market demands, our role becomes even more important.
We plan to:
- Continue expanding our network of member companies.
- Offer training opportunities that prepare workers for emerging roles.
- Advocate for policies that support shared employment models.
- Maintain our close, personal approach to every relationship we build.
