Recruit a talent
Seize a job opportunity

The municipal sector plays a central role in the daily lives of citizens, providing infrastructure, public services, urban planning, environmental management, and quality of life. To effectively fulfill these essential missions, municipalities must be able to rely on qualified professionals who are committed and aligned with the specific challenges of public service.

Municipal recruitment presents particular challenges: it is not just a matter of identifying technical skills, but also of recruiting people who are able to work within a regulated framework, collaborate with elected officials, and contribute to the public interest. In a context marked by generational change, evolving citizen needs, and technological transformations, cities and municipalities must adapt their strategies for attracting and retaining talent.
