Summary: | This article concerns the documentary “La gueule de l'emploi” [The Job], broadcast in October 2011. The film captures a group job interview session, run by a recruiting firm on behalf of an insurance company wishing to hire sales agents. Beyond the reactions relayed by the press, condemning the treatment of the applicants or defending the recruiters profession, this documentary poses the critical and often overlooked question of how to evaluate a worker before hiring. From this point of view, the practices highlighted in the film are not just because they are far from the actual work situations, and they are not explained to the candidates.
