Description
The Beaumanoir group, a textile retail group that owns several shop chains, has announced the recruitment of almost 600 people in Saint-Malo, Paris and in its 2,500 shops in France (in the Cache-cache, La Halle, Morgan, Caroll, Bonobo and Bréal chains). The group has doubled in size in the space of three years. Beaumanoir plans to recruit between 200 and 300 people for the shops and the same number for support functions in Paris and Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine). The management reports recruitment difficulties at the company's headquarters in Saint-Malo, where access to housing is clearly becoming an obstacle to growth. The HR director specifies that there are always 100 permanent jobs open in all areas, in logistics, IT, finance, accounting, purchasing, etc., because all these jobs are in short supply.
Beaumanoir has 13,000 employees in France. Three former recruitment announcements have been recorded on the ERM Database, 250 job creations in 2008 (FR-Beaumanoir-2008), 250 job creations in 2007 (FR-Beaumanoir-2007) and 180 job creations in 2004 (FR-Beaumanoir-2004).

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.
