The world is becoming a smaller place because of technology, yet different languages, cultures, monetary systems, and environments still make global talent recruitment challenging. Employers who understand the benefits of acquiring top talent from a global pool of applicants, are looking for streamlined ways to facilitate global recruitment. In an effort to help, here are 3 strategies for global talent recruitment for employers.

• • Innovative Networking
  • Utilizing Worldwide Job Boards
  • Packaged Incentive Relocation Campaign

Innovative Networking
Businesses already have a certain amount of resources to acquire global talent within their workforce and contacts. Developing innovative networking strategies to find candidates from these available resources, will extract the latent potential within a business’s culture. For instance, businesses could start a robust referral program within their workforce and partnered networks.

This program would inform employees, partners, vendors, and other business associates, of the business’s desire to acquire talent internationally; the program could specify certain regions or types of professionals, depending on their recruitment needs. Many of the people within a business’s culture have contacts, friends, and/or family in countries around the world, and with the right information and incentive would be willing to facilitate the connection.

Utilizing Worldwide Job Boards
In the modern technological world we live in, job boards have become the main source for connecting candidates with employers. Talent recruitment is often facilitated online through job boards and broker employment services. This means there are major job boards throughout the world with millions of applicants looking for work.

The difficulty in utilizing these job boards effectively is understanding the different languages and systems they use. In order for businesses to benefit from a global pool of applicants and streamline the recruitment process, utilizing the services of The Network is the best strategy.

The Network is the leading global talent recruitment service, giving employers access to millions of applicants on 59 job boards covering 138 countries, and offering services to streamline the recruitment process. The Network has dedicated partners in each country covered, who have expertise in their country’s labor markets. Dedicated managers for employers give a single point of contact to facilitate and streamline the recruitment process.

Packaged Incentive Relocation Campaign
As part of a company’s holistic international talent recruitment strategy, developing an enticing packaged incentive relocation campaign should be considered. This could be part of the innovative networking campaign strategy, with the aim to allure and promote the career opportunity being made available.

This dedicated campaign could be used in conjunction with the utilization of international job boards, as an end point for candidates interested in the job. The main idea is to highlight the benefits of the job, culture, geographical location, in an effort to inform top-level candidates – in as much detail as possible – of exactly what working and living in the foreign country is like.
This packaged campaign could be facilitated with:

• • paid invitation to visit
  • welcome tour
  • brochures
  • emails
  • webpages
  • phone calls
  • videos

And could include things like:

• • messages from owner and top executives
  • present or past employee relocation testimonials
  • mission statement
  • vision of company
  • incentive and compensation details
  • recreation opportunities in area
  • history of company and country/region
  • living arrangements in area

Each company and country is different and has unique benefits to offer international candidates, these need to be highlighted and explained in an effort to entice top talent to relocate for the job. The packaged incentive relocation campaign should reflect the genuine characteristics of the company and region, in order to attract sincere talent long-term.

Summary
Companies who understand the benefits of tapping into a global pool of top talent, will be willing to make a dedicated effort to recruit worldwide. Using these 3 strategies with The Network’s help, will open up employers to millions of top candidates around the world. Companies can utilize the pool of resources within their business’s culture and through The Network, while developing a packaged relocation incentive campaign as an end point to positively influence the candidate’s decision.
