The executive job market in France


It's undeniable that many companies in France are facing a shortage of skilled labor, affecting various professions and socio-professional categories, including executives. In 2023, companies recruited a record number of managers, but despite these recruitment needs, the unemployment rate among executives remains high. In the third quarter of 2024, the number of unemployed people in France rose to 2.3 million.

Today, half of all executives work in SMEs. However, nmany SMEs admitted to having encountered difficulties in recruiting their latest executive. The main difficulties encountered relate to salary and job location. Nowadays, companies have to distinguish themselves through their employer promise, and their "employer brand" has become essential to attract candidates. In recent months, it's no longer companies that choose their employees, but employees who choose their companies.



The most popular sectors for executive recruitment:

  • Recruitment in the service

  • Recruitment in IT


The major challenge in the rrecruitment of executives over the next few years is to retain the people recruited. Especially as new challenges are in place with digital transformation, which is increasingly becoming an organizational process. Executives will also have to take on multi-faceted responsibilities and the relationship to work and the company will continue to transform.

The final issue remains the consideration of inequalities, the pay gap between men and women is significant. For example, in the private sector, women's pay remains 15.5% lower than men's.
