No. Talent card sub-categories, including the EU Blue Card, are exempt from the labour-market test that applies to the standard work permit.
France's standard work permit (salarie / travailleur temporaire) requires the employer to obtain prior work authorisation, which includes demonstrating that no suitable EU/EEA or resident candidate is available for the role. The Talent card routes — qualified employee, EU Blue Card, researcher and the others — are exempt from this test, which makes them faster and simpler for employers. Instead, eligibility turns on meeting the salary, qualification or investment threshold for the relevant sub-category.
