Despite the recession, French aerospace research organization Onera is launching a recruitment drive here at the Paris Air Show. This year it hopes to fill nearly 100 vacancies–its highest number of new staff ever, according to Véronique Padoan, the Onera’s director of human resources, told AIN. “Some of our people are retiring and our business is growing,” Padoan explained.

Last year, Onera achieved record revenues and hiring needs have consistently grown since 2003. During the last three years, more than 70 jobs were created annually. This year, among those 93 positions to be filled, 59 are allocated to ongoing contracts (CDIs, under the French acronym) and the remaining 34 have a preset duration (CDDs). “Most of our CDDs are 18-month contracts, the maximum legal duration,” Padoan said.
