France Travail launches "France Travail Pro", a new service that puts companies in direct contact with a dedicated advisor. With this initiative, the Ministry of Labor and Employment aims to make France Travail a trusted HR partner for companies. VSEs and SMEs can now benefit from personalized support to speed up recruitment and find the right candidates more quickly.
6,000 advisors available throughout the country
As part of the Plein emploi (full employment) strategy promoted by the French Ministry of Labor and Employment, France Travail Pro was launched on October 24, 2024, with the aim of providing companies with better support at every stage of their recruitment process, while facilitating their HR management, such as the online pro account essential to VSEs and SMEs.
Nearly 6,000 advisors are available to help recruiters at France Travail agencies. A single number, 3995, has also been set up to enable advisors to be contacted Monday to Saturday, from 7am to 8pm. This extended range of hours gives companies optimum access to the service.
Tools tailored to companies
The advisors' mission is to support companies by publishing job offers that are attractive to candidates. Each recruiter can follow the offers published and applications received directly on their company account. If vacancies are not filled within 30 days, an advisor systematically contacts the company to carry out a diagnosis and propose appropriate solutions.
For example, the search for candidates can be broadened using the Simulation Recruitment Method (SRM), which consists of identifying people with no experience or qualifications in a particular profession, but with skills that can be assessed in a real-life work situation. This method has already proved its worth, enabling us to assess 73,500 candidates in 2023, 89% of whom were recruited.

Professional immersion is another option offered by our advisors. The candidate is welcomed into the company and takes part in its activities, accompanied by a pre-designated tutor. The tutoring process and the assessment at the end of the immersion period can be carried out with the help of an advisor.
Candidates can upgrade their skills through a " Préparation Opérationnelle à l'Emploi", a training program that can be set up with the help of an advisor. In 2024, France Travail supported over 90,000 pre-employment training courses.
" My Employer Page " is a free tool for companies that increases the visibility of job offers and highlights the company's professions and commitments.
Diversifying recruitment
When asked by France Travail about their aspirations with regard to the new service offering, companies showed their willingness to promote inclusive recruitment by reaching out to people who sometimes find it difficult to enter the job market. France Travail Pro advisors act as intermediaries between employers, public partners and expert associations.
In this way, France Travail Pro is fully in line with the full employment strategy set out by the French Ministry of Labor and Employment.
