Does French law mandate trial periods or 3 month notice periods? You can usually negotiate those away. Reference checks or trial period but you should really not require both, that's an employer problem.

Europe pays lower than the US but pays better than other regions. There are many countries with low pay and poor labor rights. We should try to have high pay and better labor rights.

Yes the 3 months notice is legally enforced in France with a few cases where it can be waived - including both the employee ans employer agreeing to skip it.

Note that this notice goes both ways: when an employee resigns or is let go.
