French Public Employment Service Introduces a New Search System

PARIS - WCC’s ELISE Software has Been Selected to Transform the Process of
Matching Candidates With Job Offers.

WCC Smart Search & Match, a leading provider of high-performance search
and match software, announced today that the French Public Employment
Service, Pole Emploi, implemented the ELISE Smart Search and Match platform
throughout its organization on 7 February, both for visitors to its website
at www.pole-emploi.fr and its consultants/agents.

This success has been made possible by using WCC’s ELISE software, which
optimally supports the process of matching candidates with job offers.

“WCC has already implemented a similar project in Germany with the same
technology partners, and under comparable technical and political conditions,
during the Hartz reform of the German social welfare system,” commented Peter
Went, the CEO of WCC.

“We are proud of our contribution to assisting people in their return to
work in countries where we have implemented our technology, such as Belgium,
Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
We are certain that we can help Pole Emploi to obtain the same success for
job seekers in France.”

This project represents a milestone in the implementation of the Pole
Emploi information system. It was possible to complete the project in only 10
months thanks to excellent cooperation between the WCC teams, its integrator
and Pole Emploi.
