In 2021 in Mayenne the unemployment rate was around 5% according to the Regional Employment Observatory of Pays de la Loire. Hence the recurring difficulty in hiring in our department. Labor needs have also increased with the post-covid economic recovery. This Wednesday at Espace Mayenne, 97 companies took part in a Job Dating in Laval.
First presence for Mc Donald’s
The famous fast food chain Mac Donald’s was present for the first time on the operation. The brand is located in Laval, Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne and Mayenne. She is looking for employees for her four restaurants: team members, managers, receptionists, but also student contracts.
“It’s complicated in Mayenne to recruit, in the sense that we have a large labor pool. Before, we didn’t necessarily struggle, because there weren’t as many jobs as that. Job seekers have a lot of offers in front of them, so a wide choice. Sometimes they choose Mac Donald’s and sometimes they don’t“Explains Hanane Bouberka, the director of Mac Do Laval.
Rapid career development
The fast food chain is not only hiring for kitchen positions. “Yes we make fries. Yes, we make burgers. Yes, we serve clients, but we have a whole management behind it, with a management team, a management team with resources. We make schedules, we place orders, we do lots and lots of things. We are very, very versatile” continues Hanane Bouberka. To be a team member, Mac Donald’s offers a basic salary at the minimum wage. Career changes are frequent. “We work four days out of seven, three days off in the week and employees have two weekends every five weeks.“says the manager of the Laval restaurant.
During the coronavirus crisis, Mac Donald’s explains that it kept all employees. “The recovery is despite everything complicated yes as for many other companies. We also have a “turnover” with us with students who, as soon as they finish their studies, leave their places of residence. So we are still looking for employees” ends Hanane Bouberka.
