It's no secret that the job market in France has been very dynamic in recent months with many jobs under pressure and recruitment difficulties in many sectors... As many job offers as you need to know how to correctly decipher before sending his application
Usually, 89% of vacancies are already the subject of a job offer. These recruitment difficulties are reflected in an increased effort by companies and recruiters in drafting the offer and the care given to its content.
Most job offer platforms will thus encourage all companies to communicate the remuneration of the position or at least a range from this start of the 2022 academic year.
A godsend for you candidate since even if we still find many poor offers, the trend seems to be following the right path with more information to communicate to you, but also to interpret. And yes, rather than dissuade, the purpose of a job offer is to attract but also to allow the right candidate to position themselves.
Job offers are structured
A consensus is emerging among all the sites that list job offers, on what you, candidates, expect from the content of a job offer and in the first place:
- The remuneration you will receive for the position
- The place of exercise of the position
- The missions that will be entrusted to you.
It is therefore information that we find there more and more.
Other interesting information that will determine your choice to apply can be found there, such as
- company values,
- the context of recruitment,
- team structure
- or even the work environment.
This information sometimes includes innuendos that can be deciphered…
Decipher job offers
Finally, once you have decided to go further, the job offer provides you with important information on what the company expects of the candidate and their skills, including what are now called soft skills, these behavioral skills that increasingly make the difference.
Some offers explicitly mention these expected skills (you are open-minded, you are sociable, etc.) and others invite us to read between the lines. Thus, from an accountant position one can imagine that rigor, method and precision will be expected or that for a sales position, strong sociability, enthusiasm and ability to convince will be part of the package even if the ad does not mention it. .
