Certaines régions sont considérées par les cadres et les jeunes diplômés comme attractives : Rhône-Alpes, Paca, Midi-Pyrénées et Aquitaine. D’autres, plus rurales ou éloignées des grandes métropoles, peinent à attirer des candidats. Sur quels leviers les entreprises installées dans ces régions peuvent-elles s’appuyer pour recruter ?
