If the gradual lifting of containment measures has allowed a good number of catering professionals to be able to regain color and to breathe a good breath, some are nevertheless alarmed. Not from a lack of customers, but rather from a lack of staff. Thus, last April, several of them were already ringing the alarm about their difficulties in recruiting.

Since then, the situation does not seem to have really improved, especially in the fast food sector, to such an extent that today, on the Burger King side, a dozen positions are available between the two restaurants of the city of Thionville. “I receive very few CVs that are worth it,” worries Gabriel Da Silva, deputy director of the franchised restaurant located on Chemin du Leidt. So far there had never been any hassles or problems finding it, but at this point it’s pretty amazing ”.

Multiple steps to try to recruit
Meanwhile, Gabriel thinks he has tried everything to find the missing pearls for his team. “Pôle Emploi, the local Mission, posters in the restaurant, even social networks like Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat… We are really looking for all types of positions people who would be available this summer and at the start of the school year, not just for a few weeks. “
Moreover, at the beginning of June, the American brand launched at the national level a vast campaign entitled ” Recruit us », With 3,000 positions to be filled within a year. “In fast food, we don’t have incredible requirements in terms of education or experience. The contracts are permanent twenty-five hours part-time in different positions and we really try to be accommodating at the level of the schedules, even if sometimes, it is not possible. It makes you wonder if, with the delay in social assistance and after being confined, some do not want to let the summer pass before starting to want to find a job. “
And to the argument of the supposed difficulty of the work, the deputy director prefers to see the glass half full: “There are constraints, yes, but that’s also what makes us love this job. “
