Finding Public Sector and Software Roles in 2026
JOBPUBLIC is a specialized staffing platform connecting professionals with opportunities in Business Services, Software, and the French public sector. As a candidate, the most important thing to know is that we provide a centralized, free job board where you can upload your CV and set up instant alerts for government and private sector roles.
Who pays JOBPUBLIC
Paid by the employer, not by you.
JOBPUBLIC earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.
What that means for you
Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

Where you meet
How does the staffing process work for candidates?
Our process is designed for transparency and direct access. You start by creating a profile and uploading your CV, which makes your credentials visible to public employers and our internal recruiters. Once registered, you can apply directly to listings or allow our system to match your profile against incoming requirements from our network of public and private partners.
What should I expect once I engage with JOBPUBLIC?
Engagement is primarily driven by your activity on our platform. You will receive automated notifications for new roles, and if your skills align with a specific opening, a recruiter may reach out to discuss your interest. There is no cost to you as a candidate, as our services are funded by the employers who use our platform to source talent.
Your side
How can I get on the radar of JOBPUBLIC recruiters?
To stand out, ensure your profile is updated with specific keywords related to your technical stack or administrative expertise. We recommend setting up custom job alerts immediately so you are notified the moment a role matching your criteria is posted. Keeping your CV current is essential, as our recruiters prioritize candidates who have active, complete profiles in our database.
Is JOBPUBLIC the right fit for my job search?
JOBPUBLIC is ideal if you are targeting the French public sector or specialized software and business service roles. If you are looking for a highly personalized, white-glove executive search experience, you might find our self-service, board-based model different from traditional headhunting.
