Recruiting international candidates is not an easy job. You have to be well informed with the current market/workforce pay rates and have knowledge of local and International relocation laws especially visa constraints

 

Tasks every employer needs to perform when going to the market:

1. Package: It is a candidate’s market and the salaries needs to be internationally competitive in order to attract the right candidates. You need a complete and competitive package.
2. Branding:  How do you wish your brand to be seen in international markets?
3. Advertising: There are specialized job portals for every region / industry. Choosing the right channel to maximise return on investment is key.
4. Social Media: In this current technological age social media recruitment plays an important part in international recruitment. Job posting is free and you can reach masses with the right language.
5. Staffing Agencies: Recruitment Agencies are here to help. Skills Provision, for example, specializes in international recruitment. We help clients starting from the very first level i.e. Developing job descriptions to choosing the right advertisement channels for recruitment and selection.
