The Solinki network has 190 independent recruitment consultants located throughout France. It carried out a study based on the “briefs” sent by its customers (765 at the start of 2023 and 3,315 in 2022), which are job descriptions, as they appear just before the job offer ( where all the information is not there) The two co-founders of Solinki have noted developments which demonstrate that the world of work is adapting to the requirements of certain candidates, and not the reverse.
Removal of the trial period
22% of briefs (compared to 7% in 2022) mention the removal of the trial period.
“It’s important to be able to reassure the newcomer, to show him quickly that we trust him. The trial period does not always show the true face of the new collaborator, he may be a little too reserved, afraid of slipping. Freed from these fears and apprehensions, the latter can show their true face, unleash their creativity and thus show their full potential to the employer.emphasize Laurent Delcamp and Clémence Meyer, co-founders of Solinki.

Decline of exclusivity clause
The clause that prohibited you from going to work elsewhere when you were already bound by an employment contract with an employer is in the dark. According to Solinki, this exclusivity clause only appears in 74% of briefs, compared to 86.5% a year earlier. Why is that ? “In return for the reduction in working time, many people want to be able to combine several economic activities, often with a “passion” activity alongside a more food-related profession. It is also a consequence of the explosion of self-employment with the possibility at the end of one’s daily activity of generating additional income through a second activity., argue Laurent Delcamp and Clémence Meyer. Those who are nicknamed slashers are therefore increasingly asking for the removal of this clause which, until then, pulled the rug out from under them.

Removal of the non-competition clause
For the co-founders of Solinki, the removal (in 17% of briefs) of this non-competition clause is quite simply the “end of an aberration » And to illustrate “Why prevent a baker from going to knead bread elsewhere if we separate from him? A commercial in the automobile must be able to work in any concession”.
4 day week
The 4-day paid week 5 is being developed, especially in start-ups (but not only). This new work organization is accepted by 0.5% of Solinki customers. And for good reason, the subject has been rising in French society for a few months.
“While many employees want to free up time to better enjoy their family, others take advantage of it to satisfy a passion, take a side job to make ends meet, start training or test a new professional project in auto entrepreneur “, they note. Employers on the lookout for the slightest societal trend are therefore betting on this famous 4-day week to attract and/or retain candidates and employees.
When is the possibility of “Working”?
It’s no surprise to anyone, over the months, the telecommuting option has become the majority in job offers (58% of Solinki offers). This is also, according to recruiters, one of the first questions asked by candidates during a hiring process. No possibility of telecommuting? They refuse the offer.
So to attract a maximum of candidates, employers take the lead and display the color from the job offer. Can this be enough? Impossible to generalize. In any case, we hear here and there, employers thinking about packages of telecommuting abroad a few months a year. A future new line in the ads? To be continued.
