Recruitment: local initiatives and potential renewal at France Travail
On 9 November 2026, a business owner complained of competing with France Travail when trying to recruit, amid a debate on the rise in the minimum wage. The following day, the food processing sector highlighted its job vacancies during National Employment Week, while access to work-study programmes became more difficult following cuts to hiring subsidies. From 11 to 14 November, various forums, job dating events, and activities combining sport and recruitment were organised locally, particularly in industry, construction, and uniformed professions. On 13 November, the Élysée proposed renewing Thibaut Guilluy's term as general director of France Travail, a choice that must be validated by Parliament.
