Synergie SE is a French staffing company that helps businesses find workers. It places temporary employees, handles permanent hiring, and offers workforce management services across industries like construction, manufacturing, logistics, and office work. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Paris, it is one of the larger independent staffing groups in Europe.

Synergie earns money by charging client companies a fee for each worker placed, keeping a small margin on top of the wages it pays out — which explains the thin gross margin typical of the staffing industry. The company operates mainly in France but also has a meaningful presence across Europe, including Belgium, Italy, and Canada. Its competitive position relies on long-standing client relationships and a broad branch network rather than any unique technology. The main risk is economic sensitivity: when businesses slow down hiring or cut temporary workers during a recession, Synergie's revenue and margins can fall quickly.
