Description
Cordon Electronics, a company specialising in repair of electronics goods (Internet boxes and smartphones), has announced the recruitment of 100 employees on permanent contracts. The company launched a recruitment campaign for 150 positions in the spring, but there are still 100 positions left to be filled in October. The objective is to reduce its high use of temporary workers. Known for its strong use of temporary employment, at its Dinan site as elsewhere, Cordon Electronics recruits mainly technical operators to repair Internet boxes and telephones. The public employment service - Pôle emploi - offers special training for the occasion. The director of Pôle Emploi at Dinan said that two sessions of about a dozen participants each already took place resulting in ten hirings and the collaboration will continue.
