You are from the Human Resources department and regularly or occasionally recruit foreign
employees to join your teams. The immigration procedures must be carried out and approved by French administrations.
These are long, complex and time-consuming processes.
They can quickly become a heavy burden for your department,
especially if you lack the time or resources to manage these procedures internally.
