Attracting and welcoming everyone’s talent
In a Group where more than 80% of employees are below management grade, integration takes on a special meaning, which is reflected in our hiring and placement methods.
Thanks to active partnerships with France’s leading employment and placement agencies, we have simplified access to our job offers. An agreement signed with the national employment agency (ANPE) in 2004 and renewed in 2007 allows us to create jobs in the regions outside Paris by reaching out to candidates through local ANPE offices.
This network also allows us to effectively publicise the types of jobs and career opportunities available with Elior.

Innovative hiring methods
|
To assess a candidate’s skills, motivation, personality and career aspirations, we use a role-playing method, organised in cooperation with the ANPE, that is deployed in several stages:
• Observe and analyse the position(s) to be filled
• Validate the analysis of the positions and required skill-sets
• Validate the role-play exercises
• Benchmark the exercises with employee input
• Participate in information meetings with groups of candidates
• Finalise the recruitment with an interview
This method ensures that candidates are assessed solely on their ability to do the job, not on their academic qualifications.

Integration, a decisive moment for the employee
|
Staff induction processes are organised in each country based on the most appropriate local methods, but all cover the following three themes:
• Welcoming employees to Elior
• Occupational health and safety
• Food safety
Recently hired or promoted managers attend personalised training courses and participate in an international integration seminar called “Welcome to Elior”.

Integrating disadvantaged persons
|
Our integration policy also includes measures to help disadvantaged persons, such as school-leavers with no qualifications, the disabled and the long-term unemployed.
In France, our Eliance subsidiaries participate in youth training and recruitment schemes in the job catchment areas around several major airports, particularly Orly and Charles de Gaulle near Paris. These programmes aim to encourage disadvantaged young people to become active members of society by helping them to get airport jobs.
Avenance Entreprises has also signed a national partnership agreement with EPIDe, a Defense Ministry initiative that helps young school-leavers to find their place in society.
