Gojob takes a strategic step with the entry to the capital of Persol, the second Japanese actor in the temporary worker, which invests 120 million euros. This operation marks the exit of historic investors, including Amundi Private Equity Funds, the Banque des Territoires, Breega, Kois, Alter-Equity and Olivier Mathiot, for the benefit of an international industrialist in search of technological relays.
With 9 billion euros in turnover in 2024 and a presence in 13 countries in Asia-Pacific, Persol aligns with a substantive trend that crosses the whole sector: large interim groups (Adecco, Randstad, Manpower) accelerate their turn to digital platforms and AI solutions to stay competitive. By integrating Aglaé technology, developed by Gojob, Persol wants to position itself at the forefront of a global digital interim market estimated at more than 300 billion euros.
For Gojob, founded in 2015 by Pascal Lorne, the operation switches to the Scale-Up supported by impact funds to a large-scale industrial partnership. The company, which claims more than 50,000 young people accompanied towards employment thanks to its platform, intends to strengthen its R&D in France, accelerate its growth in Europe and the United States, and open a new front in Asia, carried by the network of its Japanese partner.
This movement reflects a sectoral recomposition where AI becomes the differentiating element between historical actors and new entrants. With Persol, Gojob hopes to transform its inclusive model into a global competitive advantage. The financing of 120 million euros now gives it the capacity to compete with the world leaders in recruitment and to install its technological and social approach on a large scale.
