From a resource to usable evidence

Use suitable evidence for a professional project

An occupation description is not a vacancy, and registration does not authenticate a recruiter. Check the job, legal entity and person contacting you separately.

Connect a business to an establishment

A SIRET identifies an establishment; a SIREN identifies the legal unit.

A question to resolve: Two addresses show the same SIREN but different SIRETs. Is this necessarily inconsistent?

A record worth keeping

Keep the dated vacancy, entity identity, independently checked contacts and application steps. For a business project, also retain cost assumptions and applicable formalities.

Prepare a traceable application

You found several similar vacancies. Organise the information to respond to the correct position and retain the conditions actually advertised.

  1. Describe the position

    Record duties, skills, contract, location and date. Keep the exact advertisement link.

  2. Check the contact

    Cross-check the employer against its official presentation and public information. Verify the recipient before sharing sensitive evidence.

  3. Tailor the response

    Connect experience with duties and record date, CV version and submission channel.

Useful output

Separate tracking for each position: advertisement, employer, conditions, documents and next steps.

A vacancy appearing on a platform does not remove the need to check the contact.

Does registration guarantee a received offer?

No. A third party can reuse a public identity. Confirm the contact independently before sending documents or paying.

Can I merge all establishments of one business?

It depends on the question. SIREN identifies the legal unit; SIRET preserves distinctions between establishments.

Are equally titled courses identical?

Compare programme, duration, delivery and provider. The title alone does not describe the session.

Which website for which need?

Four concrete starting points.

These resources answer different questions. Match one to your task, then make the suggested check before relying on its result.

Similar names, different purposes

Choose by the document or action you need.

These comparisons show when two resources in the same subject answer different questions.

Explore a career or apply for a vacancy?

Onisep explains occupations and training; France Travail lists vacancies and support. Check the skills needed, then confirm each listing's date and employer.

Identify a company or investigate a name?

The business directory identifies a legal entity and its establishments. INPI provides industrial property information, including trade marks. Company registration and trade mark availability are different questions.

From a category
to the right destination.

The portal gives you context before the external click. Current conditions and sensitive instructions must still be confirmed with the destination publisher.

  1. 01
    Choose a subject

    Start with the category that matches your practical need rather than the name of a platform.

  2. 02
    Read the record

    Use the publisher, description, country and topic tags to understand what the resource covers.

  3. 03
    Check the destination

    Confirm that the external domain matches the publisher and service you intended to reach.

  4. 04
    Verify changing details

    Review current dates, prices, availability, terms and sensitive instructions on the destination website.

Useful scope.
Clear limits.

What is included in the World Web Certified directory?

The directory contains 232 useful starting-point websites across 13 subjects, including public services, health, education, media, culture, search, digital tools, travel, consumer information, science and sport.

Are directory entries certifications or rankings?

No. Inclusion is an editorial orientation choice, not a technical certification, commercial ranking or guarantee covering every page and service on the external website.

Are the individual records available in English?

Yes. Every directory record has an English page with a description, publisher, official destination, a specific use case and practical checks. Use the language menu to open its French counterpart.

How should I verify an important destination?

Check the domain, publisher and purpose described in the record, then confirm current terms, dates and sensitive information on the destination website before acting.

How can I report an error in a record?

Use the Contact page and provide the relevant URL, the inaccurate passage and a supporting source when possible.
