How we help
Check the work-authorisation route before the employee starts
Hiring a non-EU national in France may require prior work authorisation, although some residence statuses allow employment without a separate employer application. The route must therefore be checked before filing.
We handle the agreed employer-side application steps and prepare the payroll onboarding information once the employee is entitled to work in France.
Employment and authorisation file
Prepare the employment contract information and supporting work-authorisation documents where an application is required.
Arrival and onboarding
Connect the permit process with the employee's arrival, registration and payroll start.
Process
International hiring step by step
The exact sequence varies by employee profile and applicable work-authorisation route.
Position assessment
Review the job, candidate and employer-side requirements.
Contract preparation
Align the employment documentation with the planned work-authorisation route.
Work-authorisation filing
Prepare the employer-side application when prior work authorisation is required.
Consular and residence steps
Identify the next consular or residence formalities after the employer-side approval where they apply.
Payroll onboarding
Register the employee into the company's payroll and employment administration.
Scope confirmed before work starts
We confirm the requested service, the information required from you and any dependencies that affect the work.
Requirements explained in plain English
You receive a clear explanation of the documents, decisions and external steps relevant to the agreed scope.
No authority outcome is presented as guaranteed
Where an authority, registry, bank or other third party decides an outcome or timing, we identify that dependency rather than promise a result.
