With that in mind, our recruitment policy is based on clearly defined values, a group hiring process and simplified application procedures using the careers.total.com website.

Our Human Resources policies

To promote the professional development of our employees, our human resources policies are anchored in diversity, mobility, fairness and responsibility:

• Diversity in terms of profile, education and culture, to bring together talent from all backgrounds and parts of the world.
• Mobility, so that our employees enjoy continuous career growth by changing jobs, sector or even country.
• Fairness, through a compensation policy based on individual performance, top-notch employee benefits and a progressive employee share ownership policy.
• Responsibility, because ethics, safety and sustainable development are core concerns, both in terms of our actions around the world and the development of our employees.

Our Recruitment process

We are committed to maintaining close relationships with employees and strive to foster this closeness from the very start of our relationship with applicants. Though it can vary by country and sector, our recruitment process involves some common steps and principles:

• All applicants can access job openings at a centralized recruitment site, careers.total.com.
• A group hiring process through a series of interviews with our HR managers, the managers of the professional discipline concerned and future supervisors.
