Why Use Recruitment Software in the Public Sector?

Local authorities and public institutions face unique challenges: attracting talent, ensuring equal treatment, while complying with regulations and budget constraints. In this context, recruitment software dedicated to the public sector becomes an essential tool to structure, secure, and streamline the recruitment process.

Jobaffinity, 100% French software, GDPR-compliant and designed for public service actors, explains why adopting an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) suited to your needs.

Recruitment Challenges in the Public Sector

Recruitment in the public service differs from the private sector through its strict regulation and the need to ensure transparency, equity, and compliance.

Local authorities must:

• Manage complex, often multi-entity processes (municipalities, EPCI, hospitals, etc.)
• Comply with non-discrimination and equal access to public service
• Ensure data security and confidentiality
• Post offers on specific channels (emploipublic.gouv.fr, Place de l'emploi public)
• Ensure complete traceability of applications and decisions

In this framework, recruitment software becomes a strategic lever to meet obligations while optimizing HR departments' work.
