Shortage occupations

Recruit where the need is greatest.

In Europe, shortage occupations are the roles companies struggle to fill. Be-Help answers them through international recruitment, remote work and managed teams, and also supports African companies seeking the same skills.

What is a shortage occupation?

A shortage occupation shows significant hiring difficulties. In France, the list is set by interministerial decree, updated and broken down by region (decree of 21 May 2025). For some foreign profiles, it opens eased work-authorization paths.
