This is an additional step in the desire to solve recruitment problems in the tension sectors. And, once again, the pressure increases on the unemployed. While the government has made full employment its objective of the five-year term and many companies are facing shortages of labor, Pôle Emploi is preparing a back-to-school plan, called “Tensions 2022”, in order to “strengthen the Satisfaction of recruitment needs in the most affected sectors “, as shown by documents sent to the regional departments revealed by Mediapart and that Le Monde has obtained.

Unsurprisingly, the hotel-restaurant, the sanitary and social and the transport are the three sectors concerned by this plan aimed at creating, by the end of September, a “breeding ground” of applicants of Employment capacity to exercise “immediately or by a rapid adaptation” the twenty-three trades in tension identified by Pôle Emploi. For each of these trades – “floor employee, cook, diver, nursing assistant, nursing, life assistant …” – The number of job seekers registered and the number of job offers available.

“tight calendar”

According to figures from the first quarter, the operator’s note lists, for example, 83,455 offers in accommodation and catering, supposed to correspond to the profile of 218,167 unemployed categories A and B. A little more pressure on the unemployed, reacts Denis Gravouil, of the CGT. People do not refuse job offers for pleasure. If these offers are not provided, there are other problems. “

Documents show, moreover, that Pôle Emploi relied on the employers’ federations to establish the “trades in tension”: “We have identified the most requested know-how, know-how and know-how have requested professionals (through federations for example) so that they differentiate, among these skills, the “essentials” from the immediate exercise of the profession and the characteristics which, which can be acquired by rapid adaptation actions , do not constitute the essential base. “

Agencies, which can add or remove trades according to the territorial situation, must have received all the job seekers who will compose this “pool” by the end of the year. “The calendar is very tight, the pressure will be strong on the agents,” explains Guillaume Bourdic, of the CGT-Pôle Emploi. The plan aims, first of all, job seekers registered for less than three months “for greater” quality “of the starting group”, according to the note. “We know that employers rarely want job seekers registered for a long time, adds Denis Gravouil. The project does not respond at all to this problem.” The plan may nevertheless be widened “as you see the job seekers Having a longer registration period, “specifies the note.
