France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi) is the national public employment service of France. As the country's primary labor market hub, it connects millions of registered job seekers with employers while managing unemployment benefits and providing career guidance. For companies, France Travail acts as a critical partner, offering resources to define candidate profiles, publish vacancies, and navigate labor regulations.
Key Features
France Travail provides comprehensive tools designed to streamline recruitment and ensure compliance with French labor laws:
- Dedicated Employer Support: Employers receive specialized guidance on recruitment strategies, including assistance with drafting job descriptions and selecting appropriate contract types. Services like France Travail Pro offer tailored support for businesses, including foreign companies establishing operations in France.
- Administrative & Regulatory Assistance: The service helps manage essential employment documentation, such as the "Attestation Employeur" (employer certificate) required at the end of contracts, and provides guidance on available hiring subsidies and grants.
- Market Intelligence & Candidate Access: Employers gain access to France's largest database of job seekers. The platform also provides data on regional labor market trends to support informed hiring decisions.
France Travail ATS Integration
Through Manatal, employers can leverage this extensive network directly. The integration utilizes Manatal’s "My Own Contracts" feature, allowing recruiters to post jobs to France Travail’s platform seamlessly from their ATS, ensuring centralized management of their French recruitment campaigns.
