hiring medical examination
If you are happy with your translation of the old French name for it, I see no need to translate it any differently just because the French have changed the name.
After all, a government site says that the Visite d'information et de prévention est un examen médical réalisé par un professionnel de santé du travail (par exemple, un collaborateur médecin du travail, un interne en médecine du travail, un infirmier) si le salarié ne présente pas de risques particuliers.

new employee's medical examination
The term 'hiring' as a simple modifier is problematic, potentially suggesting that the medical examination takes place as part of the hiring process (such is the case in the armed forces). My suggestion eliminates any doubts as to whether the person has been fully admitted as an employee.

Better leave out the vip abbreviation in case mixed up with a very important person - though the employee may well be.
Otherwise, nowt or nought wrong with a more literal translation.
