What services does Skalis offer?
Skalis provides salary porting services primarily for digital and IT consultants and interim managers. It is about proposing an employment contract to a self-employed consultant, which allows him to have the social coverage of an employee, maintaining his independence and flexibility. You will benefit from the retirement, unemployment, pension and mutual insurance offered by Skalis, but also from our exclusive additional benefits, such as profit sharing, the retirement savings plan and the company savings plan.
We are investing in R&D to develop a range of complementary services, through a digital personal assistant that offers the consultant to ensure their independence and the companies a unique offer of services.
We also offer European mobility: we are based in several countries and we offer salary porting. This can apply to French lifters going to other countries, or to foreign lifters working for their country or for another European country. This offer also allows companies to establish themselves in a country without having to create a subsidiary.
Why is the paid porterage sector very competitive?
In France, paid portering has been developing for more than 10 years and is an extremely competitive sector. Today the practices are governed by a collective agreement and a sectoral agreement, but the colleagues interpret it differently from us or from other colleagues, which creates tensions in the market, because certain practices are at the limit of what the law allows.
We have chosen to join the PEPS, the only union that represents salaried porterage companies, recognized by the State and the Ministry of Labor. Being a member shows that we guarantee a certain practice and ethics in our operation with the salary porting seal established by the PEPS.
The number of freelancers is only increasing, what are their needs?
There are three main needs. The first is obviously finding work, which is why we work with platforms that allow consultants to find assignments. So, they want to ensure their personal and professional situation, and that is precisely what salary porting allows. The third thing is to maintain your freedom as an independent. This is also what allows porting, since the limitations can be denounced within a month.
I come from the ESN world, I had employees, and the change I saw was that more and more consultants wanted to be free from their missions, their schedules and their workplaces, which ESNs cannot offer. And this applies to all sectors. It is that free side that freelance status offers, and today it has accelerated with Covid and teleworking, because people want their share of freedom in their personal and professional organization.
