French recruitment industry - statistics & facts
In recent years, the digitalization of B2C and B2B services in France has advanced notably, making it even more crucial for businesses and their workforce to adapt to the new technical demands. Since his election, France's acting president Emmanuel Macron has prioritized the expansion of the French digital services market and as a result, traditional service areas in France have been steadily adopting digital platforms and solutions. Investors’ appetite in the French fintech sector has been strong since 2020, providing the necessary boost for the digital transition of the financial and banking services sector. Meanwhile, the size of the e-commerce sector reached over 190 billion euros in 2021 - a clear sign that the retail sector has also gone digital. Unquestionably, French professionals would not only have to be reskilled but also, actively redirected to the digital services sector. A task that will surely fall in the hands of the leading executive search agencies in the country.
