Description
The insurance brokerage Candide group (formerly Delta Assurances) has announced the recruitment of 150 employees over the next two years to support its growth. Currently, Candide group has a turnover of €30 million and employs 350 people. It now aims to achieve a turnover of €43 million and therefore plans to hire 150 new employees. The group, which positions itself as a player in insurance and technological services for companies, has five subsidiaries, not all of which are specialised in insurance: Delta assurances, Çaassure, baloo, kwote and QuickMS. The group is independent and 100% owned by the Lecat family. It will thus rely on its own funds, its banking partners and BPI France to carry out its new operations.

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.
