Number of roles opened and closed for Software Engineers in France in the last 3 months
In recent weeks, the software engineering job market in France has exhibited notable fluctuations in job postings. A peak occurred during week 5 with 568 new positions opened, which is a significant contributor to the overall demand for software jobs in France. However, contrary to the regional trend, software engineering roles show a unique pattern with a consistent number of closed jobs. For instance, in week 11, 30 positions were closed against 25 new postings in the same period, indicating competitive retention challenges. This cycle stands in contrast to the broader European tech landscape, where countries have seen a more consistent job growth trajectory without similar closure rates in the software domain. These dynamics suggest that hiring managers, including CTOs and Engineering Managers, need to adapt their recruitment strategies in the face of high turnover and increasing opportunities, particularly for senior software developers in France.
