Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Directorate General of External Security (DGSE) announced the recruitment of 600 people in 2019 after having already recruited 700 people in 2018. Most new employees are recruited through an exam. Their mission is to analyse intelligence and geopolitical strategies, to assess the quality of information and to cross-check them if necessary. DGSE targets political science students who have had experience abroad and currently practice fluently at least one foreign language. But the DGSE also recruits directly for ICT skilled positions: cryptography, network architecture, web development, security, hosting, and mathematicians. These profiles will account for two-thirds of the 600 positions recruited in 2019. The net job creations taking into account natural departures and retirements, is around 200, according to a report of the French Senate about the draft bill of finances 2018, which mentions 215 job creations in 2018 and 197 in 2019. For the 2014-2019 period, a total of 822 job net creations were planned.
