French term or phrase: activation de la demande d’emploi
Les politiques publiques conduites dans ces domaines visent à moderniser le service public de l’emploi pour mieux accompagner vers l’activité. Le principe ***d’activation de la demande d’emploi*** et de prévention du chômage de longue durée s’incarne notamment dans le projet d’accès à l’emploi établi par l’ANPE pour chaque demandeur d’emploi.

activation of labour demand
Explanation:
Yep, this is what it's called in econ policy jargon. Sample:
"Labour Market Programmes
and Activation Strategies:
Evaluating the Impacts
Do active labour market programmes really improve labour market performance? Activation programmes reduce the number of people on benefits directly through the impact of their services on the programme participants, but also indirectly because some benefit recipients prefer to leave unemployment instead of complying with
programme requirements. Intensive employment services and training programmes may have relatively favourable impacts on labour force participation and promote earnings progression, although these impacts often appear two or more years after
individuals have participated in the programmes. Programmes can have displacement effects when participants find jobs to the detriment of non-participants thus reducing net job gains, but programmes can also have positive labour demand and multiplier effects."

Employment request stimulation

Explanation:
Sounds like a great plan. I understand that these policies are trying to stimulate people's desires for employment...their perhaps involvement in actively searching and accepting work...am I correct?

streamlining the job-search process

Explanation:
or streamlining the ‘search for employment’, or other words to the same effect.

Sorry no references, and you could take this term in a number of different ways, but it’s how I read the phrase, particularly following on from the first sentence with the word ‘accompagner’ (as I was once unemployed in Belgium).
I see the ‘demande d’emploi’ here as the registration of the person concerned (le demandeur d’emploi) as somebody looking for a job, rather than a specific ‘job application’ or the ‘demand of employers for workers’.
