There is no alignment between language requirements of jobs and french usage of jobs. It is not uncommon for identical jobs to have completely different language profiles.
Back office administrative jobs are almost always bilingual, whether they need to be or not.
It doesn't really matter anyway, because the French tests to do not measure functional bilingualism anyway. The "writing" test measures ability to catch typos in French which has no bearing on one's ability to write in French. The oral test tests a pre-determined situation, which has no bearing on one's general ability to function in French.
