Hiring in France

France retains strong CV format conventions even in Paris tech. A French CV (CV) is typically one page for under-10-year careers, two for senior. A professional photo is still common (though increasingly optional in startups), and the format is reverse-chronological with clearly labelled sections. A short top summary ("Profil") of 3-4 sentences is standard.

For English-speaking roles at Paris-based scale-ups (Doctolib, BlaBlaCar, Datadog Paris), an English CV is acceptable — but French is expected for any role outside Paris tech, in government, or in regulated industries. Cover letters ("lettre de motivation") are still expected for most applications.

Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.service-public.fr — before applying or making relocation decisions.
