Launched Wednesday in partnership with Pôle Emploi, the digital platform Bob Employment carries with it a hope : to reduce unemployment in France.

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.

Registered or not with Pôle Emploi, it is possible to log on to Bob Job. A short questionnaire allows you to set up your profile and target your search. Want to convert it back ? 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.
