Civil orders on the rise in air traffic growth, an area facing an aging population pyramid … All these factors explain the dynamics of employment in the aviation and aerospace.

The Gifas announced for 2011 almost 10,000 recruits. It's more than in 2010. As for the annual "Requirements labor" performed by employment center, it confirms that the aircraft remains the largest source of employment in the Midi-Pyrenees, with 1500 jobs expected at Airbus, near of 2000 jobs in the aerospace subcontracting and 39% of hiring an interim basis.

"Aviation is a particular market. Cycles tend to sync their economic crises. The lifetime of an aircraft is 50 years, that of a satellite, DE20 years.It's very different from the automotive sector, with shorter development time, is very dependent on market conditions, "said Benedict Binachon, general manager of the firm Futurestep. This subsidiary of American Korn / Ferry International conducted a quarter of its turnover (16 million) in the industrial sector. "It's hard, inside, measure from the aircraft. Between large contractors and their subcontractors, are diffuse recruitment. "He believes however that the need for France in the thousands. "Companies need to increase the sail quickly.They must renew generations and have no room for error. "

Requirements Engineering

What about the profiles sought? "The industry was reorganized and includes many approaches and methods from other industries, in a logic of optimizing costs, reducing product development time and production time. It takes a lot for example in the automotive sector, which has developed a long time already highly efficient industrial logic, "said Celine Hulot, a consultant at Futurestep. In this context, the sector is recruiting heavily on industrial functions in production methods, supply chain, purchasing, and research profiles experienced (at least five years experience) from other technical environments, such as automobiles.As for the graduates, places are open in the engineering, development and R & D.

"Our industry creates jobs, but it is difficult to recruit engineers, says Louis Le Portz, Commissioner of the Paris Air Show. The image machine tool, feet in oil, is still very present. The brightest prefer to work in finance. "Where wages are more attractive … The differences are not hiring, but in career progression. At 30, an engineer working in the quantitative trading affects an average of 200 K €, the equivalent of the salary of a senior in the space …

Pool of graduates

However, the sector remains very attractive. And those who choose it often do so out of passion for the product. The success of "Operation Fly your ideas" launched by Airbus in 2008 is proof.Open to students worldwide, this competition invites innovation, offering to imagine a greener future for the aircraft. The second edition was attended by 2600 students from 75 countries. The winning team, which will be designated at the Paris Air Show, will pocket 30,000 euros. If the operation is not a direct recruitment tool, it provides access to a pool of talent. It also enhances the employer brand. On its recruitments this year, Airbus expects 30% of graduates and 25% women. The feminization of the workforce is another major issue in the sector.

Christophe Dechavanne, who has officiated on RTL in the early 2000s, particularly delicate position "successor" by Philippe Bouvard, replaces Cyril Hanouna offhand. He had been dropped from the air last week, following the announcement of his departure for the morning music radio Virgin Radio.It must succeed Bruno Guillon, who after six seasons on Virgin Radio will join Fun Radio (RTL), to animate the "6:00 to 9:00" in the fall. "Our discussions with Bruno took place quickly and naturally," said Jerome Fouqueray, CEO of Fun Radio, in a statement.

New turmoil in the global market for education. The British group Aegis and French Ipsos confirmed Monday that it entered into discussions for the sale by the former to the latter its subsidiary Synovate market research. Exchanges are still at a preliminary stage. And the auction could climb. Recovered 500 million pounds (560 million), assets of Aegis are likely to interest other predators, starting with the giant German GfK study, who missed the takeover of TNS by WPP in 2008.

For Ipsos, engaged for fifteen years in the internationalization of its activities, the acquisition would enable Synovate to continue his race for size, rising to become world's third largest school, behind the U.S. and Britain Nielsen Kantar (WPP ), doubling the German GfK.It would strengthen its positions in Europe and North America, access to new markets like South Africa or Scandinavia, but also to double in size in Asia, Synovate has achieved 27% of its activity in 2010 and nearly 10% growth.

"We could also strengthen our role with our key customers in financial services, automotive or consumer," said Didier Truchot, Ipsos co-president and founder. The financial structure of the French group, which exceeded one billion euros in sales last year, allows him to consider this acquisition with cash of $ 150 million and a low debt ratio.

Possible dismantling

Remains to be seen what this operation for Aegis.Some analysts believe that the sale of Synovate, which represents 40% of the activity of the UK on a total income in 2010 of 1.46 billion pounds (1.68 billion euros), opened the way for dismantling. A scenario reactivated by the recent statements by Vincent Bollore, the group's largest shareholder with 26.5% stake, which now calls his participation purely financial investment, therefore intended to be sold. Having failed to bring Aegis of Havas, which is also the main shareholder, the French businessman could withdraw at encouraging the sale of Aegis by apartments. The transfer studies buckled, the media arm (Carat, Vizeum) could then concern several communication groups, including the French Publicis and Havas ….The two groups are no comments for now.

This hypothesis is more plausible that there are few synergies between the two branches of Aegis. Speculators are not wrong. At the announcement of discussions with Ipsos yesterday morning, the action of the British group has jumped from 7% to the London Stock Exchange, its highest level in four years.

Another scenario: Aegis could use the proceeds from the sale of Synovate to strengthen the media. The group wants to reduce its dependence on particular markets in Western Europe to grow in the U.S. and boost its digital business. In the first quarter, the media arm rose 10.1%, against an increase of 7.3% for Synovate.

Because employees are not the only ones to win.A study by the National Agency for the Improvement of Working Conditions (NAALC) in March highlighted the many benefits of telecommuting for the employer. According to Denis Berard, in charge of the NAALC, the productivity of employees off from 20% to 30% in this configuration.

In Madrid

Following the announcement of the resignation of Prime Minister of Portugal, Moody's downgraded Thursday the score of 30 banks in Spain. Coincidence that serves as a warning: Madrid must react quickly and provide guarantees about the soundness of its financial sector if it wants to prevent Lisbon from the edge of the financial bailout, did in its wake.

Until now, Spain had still managed to differentiate itself from Portugal. Lusitanian crisis was indeed a limited impact on the public debt Hispanic. The differential between Treasury bonds and German Spanish this week was located around 200 points, down from 280 in November 2010. Suddenly, the Spanish press is optimistic: "The markets are now the difference between Spain and Portugal," and headlined Thursday newspaper El Mundo."The markets have recognized our efforts," he reassured the Minister of Economic Affairs, Elena Salgado.

These 76 billion makes Spain the country most exposed to the Portuguese debt, just ahead of France – French banks hold 33% of assets Portuguese.

Spanish financial institutions but also suffer from handicaps of their own, including the complex structure and scattered savings banks. Despite the ongoing mergers, Madrid difficult to explain to partners the logic of his cajas. These regional entities, subject to local political and hit hard by the bursting of the housing bubble, have great difficulty in financing. In fact, the credit companies most poorly rated by Moody's are the majority of savings banks.Argandona for Antonio, a professor of economics at IESE Business School, the rating agency "seeks to protect his rear," because "the problems of Spanish banks have been known for a year and nothing new has occurred with the Portuguese crisis. "

Economists admit the possibility of a domino effect, while limiting its scope. The Portuguese crisis is closely observed in Spain. But in Madrid, is waiting for another trial by fire: the results of stress tests imposed on new banks, expected in June.
