Orange and Pôle emploi have signed a national partnership agreement

Paris, September 27, 2011


Today Orange and Pôle emploi, the French national unemployment office, signed a three-year national partnership agreement on sharing expertise and information.  The agreement will complete the existing regional partnerships between certain Orange Divisions and Pôle emploi branches.

sharing information in order to identify recruiting needs
Orange and Pôle emploi's partnership is above all intended to encourage sharing information on Orange's recruiting needs in order to identify both the type and volume of the available jobs and the skills they require. Pôle emploi contacts and Orange's recruiting teams will work together to produce a twice-yearly diagnosis of the planned needs in each region. Detailed planning of recruiting needs will make it possible to optimise recruiting opportunities.

communicating on the Orange group's activities
Orange also aims to use this agreement to display the diversity of its activities, which are central to the digital world. It will give Pôle emploi advisors its job descriptions and a complete presentation of the company so that they can explain and promote its offers to job seekers. Orange is mainly recruiting for positions in customer relations (by phone or in shops), information systems, networks, business services and innovation. As part of its new social contract, Orange has made a commitment to recruit 10,000 new employees under permanent contracts in 2010 through 2012.

job offers available directly on the Pôle emploi website
The truly innovative aspect of the partnership lies in job offer distribution. Orange's job offers, currently available on its dedicated site at www.orange.jobs and through its Orange Jobs smartphone application, will also be published on the Pôle emploi website, at www.pole-emploi.fr. This will make Orange's job offers available on France's leading jobs site, with twenty-five to twenty-eight million visitors per month.

promoting new types of recruitment
Orange also plans to use an innovative recruiting method developed by Pôle emploi. The "Simulation Recruiting Method" is based on evaluating the applicant's abilities and does not take their academic background into account. It allows employers to benefit from more varied profiles, in line with the aim of promoting diversity which Orange set in its Conquests 2015 corporate project.
