Five Ways to Find Talent Overseas

Estate Agents should not all look the same

Hiring employees overseas can be a real challenge. There are a lot of different aspects that one needs to look into throughout the entire process. For instance, you may not be aware of the rules and regulations of every country, you may need legal and ethical platforms such as well-known immigration lawyers in Barnet to guide your way to a good candidate. You might want to consider these five platforms while making a choice.

PEO- Professional Employers Organization

A Professional Employers Organization (PEO) is a platform that helps workers to find work overseas. Hiring jobs include payroll, benefits, compensation, administration, labor taxes, HR consulting, and more, all under local government laws. PEOs allow you to assign a job to a candidate abroad without any legal trouble and stress of communication.

Pros

  •  With PEO, you may find the best talent in the world. You can now make your business a global enterprise by hiring the best of the bests from anywhere in the world despite the fact they can work in your country.
  • The basic advantage of using PEO is preventing the cost and complexity of hiring overseas, as HR experts do everything.

Cons

  • This service is not free of cost.

LinkedIn

A network of over 313 million professionals in one place has made hiring and job hunting much more effortless. With the search function on LinkedIn, you can find an ideal candidate anywhere worldwide (200 countries, to be precise).

Pros

  • Free employee registration and search via mobile and desktop tips.
  • The “connect,” as the name suggests, allows you to connect with anyone via a direct message function no matter where you reside in the world until you have an account.

Cons

  • It is an unprofessional attitude to send a direct message to anyone based on their LinkedIn profile.
  • There is a chance that they may not be looking for work or have no interest in global work.

Employment Websites

Job sites are search engines that store job postings. Write your ideal sector and job on the engine along with your preferred position and see the available functions.

Pros

  • It offers a great opportunity to find your employees with few clicks while sitting on your office desk.
  • You can look for your employees from anywhere in the world with the help of a search on your web browser.

Cons

  • The job posting is usually not a free service offered, the better the service, the more is the cost.
  • Most employment sites work on a cost-per-post model.
  • Search each site to see which payment option is best for you.

Examples

More than 250 million people turn to employment sites to search for jobs every month. You can hire employees for every department in more than sixty countries. Once you have created an account, advertising work is free, with the option to update your paid job posting (budget is up to you).

Career jet

Career Jet is a leading recruitment platform with more than 40 million international job vacancies. Users can look for jobs in more than 90 countries across all sectors and experience levels. One post costs $ 100.00 (excluding tax and credit card fees) to post a 45-day list.

Glassdoor

We are sure you have already heard of Glassdoor as it is one of the largest professional platforms globally, with 64 million users from 190 different countries using the platform every month. It is free to post a job ad on this platform. However, you have to pay when the ad receives a candidate.

Gigajob

Gigajob is a leading online job platform promoting your job vacancies on over 100 local country sites. Ads on this platform are free and last for 30 days.

Recruiters

Recruiters are people who connect companies and potential clients and work for a recruiting agency or are interns. For global recruiting, companies can contact recruiting agencies that have global connections.

Pros

  • Recruiters who have global networks can connect with potential candidates they would never have been able to contact.

Cons

  • Companies pay a fee to recruiters when they connect employers to the proper hiring.
  • Rates may vary but are generally 10% of the selected candidate’s salary.
  • Since recruiters do not get paid until the hiring is complete, some will do whatever it takes to get their candidate over the line, even if they are not a good fit for the business.
  • If you use a recruiter, ensure your contract includes a clause that dues are not paid until the hiring passes the probationary period.

Examples

NPA

An international recruiting network that connects recruiters from around the world with employees seeking international opportunities.

Michael Page

Michael Page is an agency that has a global recruiting wing for its business. With 140 offices worldwide, they can launch their network anywhere to find you the perfect global employee.

Use a Local Partner

If you want to grow your business roots in a foreign country, you can partner with a local partner and use them as a source to find good local talent. They are more aware of local people and can be of great help.

Pros

  • A local partner can speed up your search for finding talent in that country.

Cons

  • You will have less control over who is being chosen for the post and it might also cause some legal problems if both parties lack any HR (Human Resource) knowledge or experience.
