Why non-native French matters to recruiters

The first filter

The CV is the first thing a recruiter sees. Non-native errors, even subtle ones, signal poor French proficiency and can lead to instant rejection.

Register matters

French professional writing has its own rhythm and register. Phrases that are grammatically correct can still sound foreign to a French reader.

Different norms

French CVs follow conventions that are very different from UK or US résumés: format, photo, length, structure, and style.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to write my CV in French to work in France?▾

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. French recruiters expect a CV written in impeccable French. Even small errors in spelling, grammar or professional register can disqualify an otherwise strong candidate.

Is a UK or US résumé format acceptable in France?▾

No. French CVs follow specific norms: usually A4, a photo is standard, no "objective statement", and the structure is different from UK or US résumés. We adapt your document to French norms.

What exactly do you correct?▾

We correct spelling, grammar, syntax, punctuation, professional register and style. We also improve phrasing, readability and formatting according to French professional standards.

How long does the correction take?▾

Standard delivery is 48 business hours. A rush option (under 24h) is available at an additional charge.

What is the price?▾
