REPORTAGE
Like the Vaganet consultancy and IT services firm, they are the first to use labor from abroad. Businesses will be directly impacted by the government's decision to put in place quotas to better regulate economic immigration. In this company in the Paris region, which deals with connecting candidates from other countries and employers, job offers are numerous, but it is difficult to answer.
Too much red tape
For example, there are not enough computer engineers in France, so Vaganet is looking abroad to recruit. This SME plans to hire a hundred next year, mainly in the Maghreb and Eastern Europe, so they will then perform acting missions in large French groups. But "recruiting foreigners takes time," says Khalil Ghachem, sales manager. The fault of too much red tape, making each file very long to go up. "Once you send the file to the competent authorities, that is to say to the management of the work, there are often delays."

As a result, for Lies Mohamed, a lot of talented candidates run under his nose. "We met in Kiev, Moscow or Saint-Petersburg very advanced people in technologies rather ahead of France, but they tell us that if they come to France, they are not sure of having a visa. or a contract, "says the IT director. So, they prefer "to go to Germany, where everything is clear even before leaving Russia".
But Lies Mohamed still wonders what will happen once the quotas of professional immigrants reached. "If we find a nugget, are we going to tell us that the door is closed, that we can no longer bring?" if he asks. Because this SME has ambition: its growth doubles every year. She hopes to reach five million euros in turnover at the end of the year. And ten million in 2020.
