France is having difficulty meeting the demand for software developers, which grew by 19 percent in 2014, the president of Cap Digital, Stephane Distinguin, told La Tribune. The first study undertaken by Cap Digital and recruitment company Multiposting found that software developers are being recruited 4 months before they get their degree, and nearly always for permanent contracts. IT administrator jobs on offer increased 28 percent in 2014. Only in data analysis and big data are firms finding enough job seekers. The supply of data analyst jobs rose by 30 percent last year.
Distinguin said the report aims “to allow member firms to improve their recruitment. The main thing in digital is talent scouting and if a top developer does not find a job immediately in the Paris area, he takes off for Silicon Valley. There pre-hire 3-month internships pay USD 10,000. Unless French companies adapt quickly, we may lose our talent to the US.”
Multiposting CEO Simon Bouchez said his company posted over 1 million job offers in digital in 2014, only 15 percent of which were for project heads. He conceded that there was a gap between supply and demand. National job bureau representative Stephane Natkin said France must break out of the purely academic approach and sell receptive young people the benefits of participating in developing technology for a connected city.
