A jobseeker is anyone who is looking for work and applies to Pôle emploi to be registered on the list of jobseekers.
Jobseekers must periodically renew their registration in accordance with the procedures laid down by order of the Minister for Employment and the category in which they have been registered.

Persons registered on the jobseekers’ list are classified in categories determined by order of the Minister for Employment on the basis of the purpose of their application and their availability for employment.
