Cultural Tip
In French business communication, the choice between *tu* and *vous* signals the level of familiarity. *Tu* is appropriate only when you have an established informal rapport (e.g., with a junior colleague or a candidate you’ve already met several times). In most formal HR contexts, you would switch to *vous* to maintain professionalism.
