A tele-migration platform: To counter the flight of Tunisian engineers
Since 2011, more than 100,000 multidisciplinary skills (doctors, scientists, and above all engineers) have left Tunisia. To definitively counter these employment problems and this phenomenon of brain drain, a team of talents will launch a digital platform “moningenieur express” which will allow the Tunisian engineer, in search of employment, to tele-migrate in teleworking, that is to say, that he will be able to work at any time without leaving Tunisia, on a short or long term mission, for French and European companies, with very attractive remuneration (thanks to the wage portage system set up by the platform) and in optimal working conditions. The contacting process is simple and fast: the job-seeking engineer submits his CV free of charge, companies also register for free and precisely describe their needs, and the platform’s matching algorithms instantly match recruiters’ requests with the appropriate profiles… All that remains is for the platform’s customer service to connect the company and the engineer until the completion of the service provision contract. The recruiting client is invoiced in euros and the integrated wage portage solution legally allows the engineer to be paid directly in Tunisia, in Tunisian dinar. The platform is remunerated through a commission received from the recruiter and the engineer. The “moningenieur express” team announces that it will be able to make the first contacts between Tunisian engineers and French companies this summer.
