It is not yet true "l'oréaliens", but they will learn to become. Each year, some 1,000 trainees bac 4-5, in France, join the world number one of the cosmetic. They are often from large schools, sometimes of the University, and most will spend six to nine months in one of the divisions of l ' Oréal. This entry by the back door is already a performance in itself: the very effusively group holds on average a candidate in ten, and be permanently selected, an intern will have to pass three interviews. That is, if l ' Oréal has any leisure select students drastically. These, in fact, not be there to make the coffee. House Policy: "false internships or real jobs, but real internships, i.e. a real mission with real compensation." Clear: students will be part of a team and will participate in the production in being paid. so, "they are not real positions and have no responsibilities or duties of an employee."
Assess the potential
According to their level of training and their school, students will receive 800 to 1,500 euros per month. Each has a guardian, in the person of his manager direct. The guide in its work. And, most importantly, the gauge. Here, more so than in other large companies, "the stage is a period of pre-recruitment". Put in the bath, the intern taste culture House and judge the interest to later join the group. L ' Oréal, on the other hand, has several months to "assess action potential of each", explains Jean-Claude the great, Director of recruitment. The Group therefore don't hesitate to expose the trainees in their definition of specific objectives, entrusting them with oral presentations and inviting them to be force of proposals. At the same time, an HR Manager follows the route of each trainee and made the point with him regularly. At the end of each stage, it is the time of the verdict. Manager fills a precise evaluation of the intern sheet: objectives, attitude, ability to work as a team... There is nothing left to chance and each manager is required to "following" the trainee him presenting its results. But this evaluation sheet is used, above all, internally. In fact, l ' Oréal prepares its market. Number of trainees are studies internship, and close to a third of them will be recruited in the wake. The device is so well oiled that the group is currently considering the possibility of granting various advantages, such as resumption of the probationary period in the count of seniority or reduction of the test period, to these inductees ex-stagiaires néo-salariés.
New issues
Natural route of entry of young graduates in the group, internship policy gradually adapts to new challenges. Thus, "we develop the home in France of foreign trainees;" "it is a good way to develop the diversity," says Jean-Claude the great. Amazingly, the internships also allow the group "test, in welcoming some of their students, the level of schools and faculties that are not in its classical targets." Today, l ' Oréal attempts still further develop this system, registered in the heart of its strategy to identify and recruit as soon as possible a maximum of high potential youth. On the menu, first, a self-criticism session. A consulting firm was commissioned to conduct a study of 300 ex-stagiaires to determine areas for improvement. In addition, trainees can now, on a dedicated intranet, respond anonymously to a questionnaire for assessment of their working conditions.
Experiences abroad
But the biggest site is elsewhere: it is to "develop international courses by sending in other European countries of French students." "They are very applicants experience abroad," explains Jean-Claude the great. These high range courses should be reserved for the students of the largest schools, or offered as a reward to the winners of the student competition that organizes each year the company. At the same time, the French headquarters strives to disseminate the taste of the stage in its international subsidiaries. "It develops currently in Korea and India, for example", he says. In these growing markets where large groups around the world snapped the graduates of the best universities, the course may actually be very useful. An excellent way to seduce soon students often have the number of job offers before even graduation.
