Bourgogne-France-Comté is following the national trend with a record year 2021 in terms of business creation. ” In many Bowls of jobs, the unemployment rate residual is near 6%, even 5% in some cities. This means that we reach populations distants employment, therefore more complicatedis to put back at work. However, the need for labor is strong car the activitys industrials and logisticss picked up very strongly. It’s necessary capture temporary candidates in other regions “says Ludovic Dinkel, Eastern district manager of Synergie
At the end of January, the group presented an employment barometer highlighting the latest recruitment trends. He indicates in particular that the job market in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté confirms its recovery. The CDI offer has thus gone from an average level of 2,000 offers per week, over the first 5 months of 2021, to more than 3,000 over the following 6 months, with peaks at 4,000 offers last September. Among the best-placed departments, Jura comes first with an unemployment rate of 5.5% ahead of Côte-d’Or (6%) and Nièvre (6.4%).
Industry: a more mixed situation
France’s leading industrial region for the share of industrial employment in total salaried employment, i.e. 45,000 employees, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté has been impacted, particularly in the automotive sector, by the global shortage of semiconductors and by the rapid change from thermal to electric.
« In Franche-Comté, the automotive sector suffered a significant drop in activity until October, but since the beginning of the year, demand has picked up and there has been a strong recovery in the supply chain with recruitment problems. », stresses Ludovic Dinkel.
According to the Synergie barometer, regional aeronautics is suffering from a pandemic climate that is not conducive to air transport, the other Burgundian-Francs-Comtois industrial strongholds (nuclear, wood, agri-food, health, plastics, luxury, eyewear… ) hold up well and contribute to the dynamism of local employment.
« Production and manufacturing agents are in the top 10 of temporary job offers, while the maintenance technician, in charge of the maintenance of industrial machines and robots, rises to the 7th place of the most demanded professions on permanent contracts observes Christelle Duthu, recruitment consultant at Synergie.
Among the sectors of the future, the Region is investing heavily in hydrogen, in the territory of Nord Franche-Comté, and more broadly in a Vehicle of the Future competitiveness cluster.
Health: professions in tension
On the front line during this period of health crisis, health professions are in pole position in regional job offers on fixed-term and temporary contracts: the nursing assistant is the first targeted by recruiters, immediately followed by the nurse.
In Dijon, for example, the interim agency of the national group Connectt, specializing in the medical sector, has experienced 600% growth since its opening in May 2021. ” We went from 30 requests per month to more than 1,000 contracts signed last December », observes Sihame El Himdi, director of the Dijon agency.
Currently, the agency has a hundred dates per month to fill per establishment to meet absenteeism and the needs for reinforcement of medical teams. Sihame El Himdi finds that the waves of Covid-19 are adding to the overwork and exhaustion of health workers.
They further increase the difficulties of recruiting for professions, at all levels and in all types of establishments, in particular by hospitals and nursing homes where qualified personnel are needed. Today, the region’s medical-social employers employ the CDD and the interim to remedy emergency situations, avoid closures of beds and entire services. “We are fortunate to have a very committed and attentive staff. Some do not hesitate to lay off when their colleagues are in isolation for a positive Covid case », souligne Sihame El Himdi.
The Connect group – which has 32 agencies covering 7 sectors of activity throughout France – is also being rolled out this year on the web, by launching a digital interim agency: myconnectt.fr in order to reach a new target of workers. What facilitates the arrival of candidates from all over France…
