> For recruiting some french institutions like CNRS will only consider papers deposited in HAL when doing the evaluation.

While I like HAL in general as a consumer, that policy is terrible if true for people like me who started their academic career abroad. One more reason not to go back, I guess.

You can add all articles afterwards (even though it can be tedious).

There is actually a tool that is supported by HAL that makes it easier to quickly add all your publications by just giving your name: https://dissem.in/

For instance, it automatically fills in all the metadata for your publications.

I would be very surprised if there wasn't some exception for papers published abroad. Otherwise they would be potentially ignoring a lot of information about candidates.
