Where to find offers?

  • Your wishes

What mobility can be requested?

• We can have a request anywhere in France (large, medium, or small town): in this case the mobility requested is from Monday to Friday (or less), with often the mobility and accommodation costs paid by the client.
• Internationally, mobility can be the same or over the entire assignment period, depending on the location and context of the assignment.

For the mobility of the Interim managers, are the costs covered by the client company?
