France is Europe's second-largest economy with exceptional talent in aerospace, defense, technology, and life sciences. French labour law is among the most complex in Europe, featuring the Code du travail, mandatory collective agreements, a 35-hour statutory work week, and powerful employee representation structures. International companies hiring in France must manage URSSAF contributions, mutuelle obligations, and CSE employee representation requirements. Octagon Professionals operates in France to help international organisations comply with these regulations and employ talent across the country.
