  >because London is sat next door with considerably higher salaries, and everyone there speaks English That's a bigger deal than it might seem, even if you're recruiting from countries that aren't nominally Anglophone. If you pick a random engineer in, say, China, there's a lot higher probability that the engineer will speak English than French. English also opens up India, where most educated people have studied English, and English is actually one of the official languages. French is only common in countries where French is an official language, most of which have small populations and/or not much of a tech scene.
