The recruitment market in digital and IT in France is experiencing a period of turbulence in 2025. Fewer opportunities, more timid professional mobility, a tense geopolitical context... and yet, beneath the surface, the momentum of digital transformation remains very much active. An overview of a transitional year.<\/p>\n
The numbers speak for themselves. According to the latest study by P\u00f4le Emploi and APEC, hiring intentions in digital professions have dropped by\u00a012 % in the first quarter of 2025<\/strong>\u00a0compared to the same period in 2024 (APEC, April 2025<\/a>). This decrease is largely due to\u00a0the scarcity of fundraising<\/strong>\u00a0: the\u00a0interest rates still high<\/strong>\u00a0maintain pressure on investors, particularly in venture capital. Less cash, less aggressive growth... and therefore fewer hires.<\/p>\n At the same time,\u00a0Talents have become more cautious<\/strong>. After several years of high mobility, many professionals are choosing to stay with their current company out of fear of economic uncertainty. As a result, there is less \u201cliquidity\u201d in the job market, and therefore fewer openings.<\/p>\n Added to this is a tense international context.\u00a0The war in Ukraine<\/strong>,\u00a0tensions in the Middle East<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0political uncertainty in the United States ahead of the presidential election<\/strong>\u00a0have a direct impact on public procurement and the investment strategies of large corporations. Many prefer to wait and see while waiting for better visibility.<\/p>\n As the IMF notes in its growth outlook published in March 2025:<\/p>\n\ud83c\udf0d A fragile geopolitics<\/h2>\n
