So… I think that the strictest requirement is around “speaking French”… I totally failed on making it more clear… I’m sorry for that :slightly_frowning_face:

We are not ready to onboard non-French speaking people yet.

We write everything in English but we are hesitant in making the switch verbally… It’s a shame and I realize it even more now that we mostly received application from people outside of France :neutral_face:

So ! I did not run away with the topic :sweat_smile:

We had a first discussion internally. First feedback is that, as a company we may have to recruit outside of France in other “Circles”/teams than Engineering and thus be “forced” to switch :grin: – we better anticipate/be ready.

Next steps for us, is a dedicated workshop during our next Meetup in November, to go into more details, identify impacts, and address possible fears.

TBH, all the applications we received and discussions I had/have in this forum went way over our expectations and make us want to really think about it :sweat_smile: – probably not for this position, but we have more positions to come in the near future.

To those who applied to drop their resume in case we evolve in the future :pray: – we’ll definitely keep them handy. @dimitarvp I did not receive yours, yet :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I’ll reply to everyone, just got overwhelmed :ocean:
