Description
The Norwegian company Sector Alarm, specialising in burglary, fire, and emergency alarm systems, planned to hire 400 employees. The company has launched a major recruitment campaign to recruit on permanent contracts without requiring a CV.
By strengthening its team, it seeks to support its growth of around 30% to 40% each year. Coaches working with the company's training school, La Sector Way Academy, will be mobilised to help security novices become remote surveillance professionals. It aims to combine theory and field immersion as a key driver of social mobility.
The company intends to recruit well beyond the most sought-after regions such as Île-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and Grand-Est. The company is looking to expand further into other French regions in the coming months. The company currently employs more than 1,000 workers in France.

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.
