MULTIPÔLE places European workforce to meet recruitment needs in Vendée
In 2024, industry in Vendée is still heavily dominated by the food processing, metalworking and mechanical engineering sectors, which together account for 54% of industrial jobs in the département. Immersed in a competitive employment basin with an unemployment rate below the national average, industrial companies in Vendée are often faced with labor shortages.
MULTIPÔLE offers a solution to this shortage of resources by providing temporary employment for European workers. Alain Millet shared his vision with Guillaume ROBELET, journalist for Ouest France, during an interview in January 2024.
Coping with human resources shortages by integrating European temporary workers: the MULTIPÔLE challenge
With its three sites in Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez (85 – Vendée), Cholet (49 – Maine-et-Loire) and Pontivy (56 – Morbihan), Multipôle is extending its expertise nationwide.
“There is a real need. We’re there where there’s no one, in sectors where there’s a shortage of resources, penalizing companies’ production capacity,”
explained Alain Millet, Chairman of Multipôle, in his interview with Ouest France.
Today, MULTIPÔLE has nearly a hundred customers, mainly in the Grand Ouest region – including major groups in the Vendée – and employs nearly 900 European workers. These customers are spread across the agri-food, industrial and construction sectors.
MULTIPÔLE relies on European workers to rapidly upgrade their skills
Often from rural backgrounds, the European workers placed by Multipôle are familiar with the agri-food industry. These workers are therefore able to work quickly and improve their skills easily through training.
In order to create the optimum conditions for the integration of these workers into the targeted industries, MULTIPÔLE offers comprehensive support for each of its temporary workers in ;
- Their arrival in France,
- Administrative formalities (opening a bank account, social security formalities, etc.),
- Finding accommodation,
- Their first day in the company,
- Monitoring their activity as part of their interim assignment.
MULTIPÔLE works in close collaboration with its customers, from arrival in France right through to the start of the temporary worker’s employment. MULTIPÔLE’s objective: to create the conditions necessary for employees to be fully satisfied with their assignments within the companies they join.
“We’re there for them from the moment they take up their jobs. We create the conditions for them to be satisfied with their assignments. We closely monitor the integration of our temporary workers, in close collaboration with our customers.”
explained Alain Millet, Chairman of Multipôle.
