In his study, the operator has analyzed a random sample of 4.770 offers available on the 20th of June on the site pole-emploi.fr. The large majority (90,7%) were considered to be consistent with the framework set by the labour code, against 9.3% deemed non-compliant.

“It is the employer who is responsible”

Three-quarters of the deals illegal the are due to inconsistencies (6.8 per cent) in their writing. This may include, for example, offers asking for “5 years of professional experience” but stating that “beginners are welcome”. The other offers illegal are contrary to the legislation on fixed-term contracts (up 0.8%, example: “CDD with possibility of extension in the CDI”), on discrimination (0.4% as example: “my student”), or even detrimental to the freedoms of the job seekers (0,5%, for example: “no criminal record”).

To detect the upstream non-compliance or fraud, Pôle emploi uses of the algorithms, in particular by the key-word. In the case of an alert, the offers are controlled by an adviser or, if the offer comes from a partner, be automatically suspended. In case of suspicion of fraud, the offers are removed.

“Over the last 30 days, we avoided 2.000 attempts of fraud,” reveals Catherine Lice.
