A circular published this Thursday increases the remuneration of contractual agents in the sector in order to cope with recruitment difficulties.
Faced with the challenge of competition from the private sector, ministries are struggling to recruit in digital professions. A circular written by former Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, and published this Thursday by the Interministerial Digital Directorate (Dinum), updates the “remuneration benchmark» for 55 digital professions, with salary ranges specific to each position.
Concretely, a developer with less than five years of professional experience receives between 44,200 and 57,200 euros gross annually. For an information systems security auditor, an annual salary of between 63,800 and 97,900 euros applies, provided that he or she has more than twenty years of experience. However, the increase in salaries in the remuneration scale applies exclusively to contract agents with digital expertise, “the new grid is imposed on ministries for the digital sector of the State, and other ministerial standards or doctrines cannot be used in opposition to it», insists Matignon.

“Maintain the attractiveness of the digital sector”
Ministries will be able to propose remuneration higher than that of the benchmark, provided they receive the approval of the budget controller. Recruitment on permanent contracts rather than on fixed-term contracts is also favored for contractual agents specializing in digital in order to “ to maintain the attractiveness of the digital sector and respond to the challenge of retaining agents».
Finally, ministries are encouraged to shorten recruitment times and to offer job promises to candidates. According to the latest report from the Ministry of the Economy published in June 2023, 2,500 digital experts must be recruited each year, i.e. 50% more than currently. It remains to be determined whether the 21,000 digital experts in civilian jobs, and the 28,000 specialists in the Ministry of the Armed Forces will be satisfied.
