Despite therise in the use of professional social networks in recruitment practices, the job board or employment site remains essential in the recruitment strategy of French companies.


Médiamétrie confirms this by noting that, in 2020, nearly one in three French people regularly checks online job offers. This represents a pool of 22 million potential candidates and not just executives.

Why post your offers on a job board?

Intended to connect recruiters and recruits, job boards offer numerous solutions for both companies and candidates: time-saving, simplified communication, specific searches.


On one hand, companies make their recruitment offers more visible to a wider audience of candidates. They also publish more precise advertisements by adhering to the criteria of each job board and improve their sourcing by accessing online CV databases. With candidates having already filled out their profiles online, recruiters save considerable time and can thus conduct initial screenings.


On the other hand, candidates can search for offers according to specific criteria and even save their searches to receive real-time job alerts. Candidates fill out their profiles online and make them available in online CV databases. They thus become accessible to all companies, whether they are actively or passively searching. Job boards also offer a view of the current job market to candidates.


Additionally, companies highlight their employer brand on dedicated pages to attract profiles that align with their values.
