Description
FnacDarty has announced the recruitment of 500 technicians for its after-sales services (SAV) to ensure the repair of household appliances. This is an important activity alongside its sales activity, since the technicians will carry out nearly 2.5 million interventions in 2019. The activity is now accelerating with the development of the transition to a low carbon economy and the search for a better durability of the appliances. Young people with a CAP (professional certificate) in electrotechnics or electromechanics or even a technical baccalaureate are welcome.
The FnacDarty group has an internal training centre (Academie Fnac Darty in Paris) and also works with two training centres throughout France. FnacDarty recruits young people, but also people undergoing retraining, such as people over 50 years old. These are open-ended jobs for the hundred or so sites that provide home interventions for the whole of France.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
