Salaried employment as a means of domesticating the uberization of intellectual services? The case of the companies of portage salarial.

Summary Through the example of freelance administration, this article proposes to explore the links between employment status and the skills needed to perform work in the era of digital capitalism. This form of employment, which allows self-employed workers to acquire the status of employee by signing an employment contract with a third party employer (the freelance administration company), thus participates in a redefinition of the roles of employer and employee, while at the same time transforming the way in which market links operate between client and worker. Based on interviews with employees, interviews with directors and permanent staff of the portage companies, as well as on a press review, we will try to explore the impacts of uberization on a population often ignored by these analyses: the intellectual professions. We will thus ask ourselves how a specific type of platform, the "portage salarial" companies, present themselves as a break with the other digital platforms and contribute to the pluralization of the skills mobilized by the ported workers in the daily exercise of their work.
