The RATP had announced with great fanfare its major recruitment campaign 2023 last February. In all, the transport authority planned to hire 6,600 agents recruited before the end of the year. Rather than quietly waiting for CVs, the operator has been hunting for candidates since Monday at Gare Saint-Lazare (8th arrondissement).
The operator has thus taken over the Salle des Piliers, well known to users of lines 3, 12, 13 and 14 of the metro. This is where until Friday, RATP recruiters await potential candidates and other curious people, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., to present to them the 250 jobs offered by the company.
Recruiters to guide
“Every year, we launch a major recruitment plan to renew our workforce, but this year, it is even on a larger scale due to the extension of certain lines and the preparation for major events such as the Coupe World of Rugby in September, and the Olympic Games in 2024,” explains Marie Cosson, Director of Skills Development at RATP.
Short-term events, unlike the contracts offered since 4,900 are permanent contracts: “The others are work-study contracts (1,000) and integration contracts for a return to work project (700)”, says Marie Cosson.
Diploma or not, experience or not, all profiles are sought, especially women who are at the heart of the group’s strategy: “We want to feminize the company. It is important to tell them that all positions are open to them. Many positions are also accessible to workers with disabilities.
The possibility of applying directly via QR code
Faced with the multitude of possibilities, recruiting agents direct candidates towards the various professions of maintenance, security, bus driving, metro or RER. And if applications are made online, on the website Ratp.fr, the agents distribute flyers with QR code which allow you to submit a CV directly online. Better still, for those who want to directly target a profession, the pillars of the room, covered with posters for the occasion, also offer QR codes which lead directly to job offers, profession by profession.
In addition to directing candidates, recruiters can detail all the advantages they will find working for a group such as the RATP, such as a unique health care offer for staff, health center group mutual insurance, welfare and social offers with the Works Council, free transport and, for some time yet, guaranteed employment and a special pension scheme… “Above all, they can consider career development, adds Marie Cosson , RATP is a group with many businesses and subsidiaries and a great tradition of promotion. »
