Description
Assystem France, the French engineering and project management group, announced that the company is planning to hire 1,500 employees in 2020 in France (and 2,000 in total at worldwide level). The new employees will be managers or engineers in the areas of systems, testing, nuclear safety, cybersecurity, manufacturing and project management in particular on topics related to blockchain, big data and industry 4.0.
Nearly half of the new positions will be available for junior profiles for people with limited or no experience (with up to three years of experience). The company plans to integrate a new promotion of 150 trainees and work-study students and aims to continue its approach in favour of diversity by increasing the number of recruitments of under-represented profiles within the sector. In 2019, Assystem recruited 35% of female profiles in France and aims to steadily increase this figure in the coming years.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
