This system allows candidates to benefit from additional training to acquire all the skills necessary for the position to be filled. The training is carried out by a training organization and/or by an employee tutor within the recruiting company.The training is fully funded, supports Séverine Foulon, head of the Business team at the France Travail agency in Brignoles. The candidate, with the status of a professional training intern, will only become part of the company’s expenses at the end of his training, after signing his contract.“
The company Odyssée Polymère – specialist in polymers and composites in the renovation of swimming pools in Brignoles – has therefore opted for this solution. “Candidates with experience in this specific field are almost non-existent on the market.summarizes Séverine Foulon. The company had to train its future employee and without POEI the training would have been entirely the responsibility of the employer, which could have been a barrier to hiring.”
A tailor-made operation was also carried out for the company Les Autocars Blancs in Brignoles: “Passenger transport is a sector under pressure which has strong recruitment needs, particularly with the increase in retirements, explains Véronique Philis, business advisor at the France Travail agency in Brignoles. These companies must recruit drivers holding a D license. However, obtaining these licenses has a cost that the company cannot finance in numbers… We have therefore set up an operation which will allow the recruitment of eight people currently in training who will be ready for the start of the school year.”
Beyond POEI to finance the 8 D permits, France Travail Brignoles has here mobilized the Simulation Recruitment Method (MRS) which makes it possible to identify potential candidates not by their driving skills but by their abilities to become a driver. Eight candidates were selected following interviews to start the training: “There was no exchange of CVs, candidates are judged on their abilities, that changes everything, pleads Véronique Philis. The job of driver may be suitable for people looking for part-time work or additional pay, it may also interest people with a recognized disability who can work in a seated position. Socially, it’s also a great project because there is a lot of solidarity in the group.”
Financial assistance for hiring: Emploi Franc
This measure, extended until December 31, 2024, promotes the hiring of job seekers residing in the Priority District of the City with business assistance of up to 5,000 euros per year within a limit of 3 years for permanent employment. “It’s a real lever for businesses, confirms Sarah Ammar, business advisor at the France Travail agency in La Garde. I promote this help on a daily basis to employers.“Finally, the obstacle is sometimes more on the side of job seekers… “Some people are embarrassed to say that they live in a priority neighborhood and prefer not to disclose this information. I am here to explain to them that it is a plus for their hiring that they must promote.”
Hermess Transport, for example, hired a courier delivery driver on a permanent contract via this system. “This company works regularly with France Travail and is well aware of the assistance we can provide. On the other hand, Ma Boulange, which recruited a permanent pastry chef from a priority neighborhood, discovered after signing the contract that he was entitled to assistance. It was a nice surprise!“France Travail’s business services offer adapts to your needs, whether it is to identify profiles, train future employees or benefit from financial assistance for hiring, the business advisors at your local agency will be able to implement tailor-made solutions for your company.
