Launched Wednesday in partnership with Pôle Emploi, the digital platform Bob Employment carries with it a hope : to reduce unemployment in France. If this promise was repeatedly made by our politicians, the man at the head of this new site has nothing to do with a future presidential candidate. His trick to him, it’s the algorithms. And this is supposed to be the strength of Bob’s Employment.
A young creator. The talent does not expect the number of years, it is said. Paul Duan is the proof. At only 24 years-old, this French is full of ideas and knows how to give herself the means of its ambitions.

A graduate of the Sorbonne university, Sciences Po and the prestigious american university of Berkeley, the French launched two years ago, Bayes Impact, a start-up non-profit located in the Silicon Valley. With one conviction : that the numbers and the digital can solve the world’s problems.
How it works ? It is from this principle that Bob Job was created. The site works with an algorithm able to analyze the data on the labour market, the situation of each unemployed person, and, innovative, course, anonymized of the millions of unemployed previous, to make it available to the user. The platform is based on the number of jobs unfilled in France, approximately 300,000 according to the ministry of Labour.

The site offers jobs that relate most to your skills – specifying the average time of return to employment in this sector and the evolution of the offers – or training based in particular on the previous experience.
