If you’re looking to recruit internationally, you may need to change your hiring tactics. There are different sets of tips that apply to recruitment in different parts of the world. So you need to figure out where you’re going to be recruiting from and strategize according to that.

To attract candidates from certain parts of the world, you might need to offer more money but to attract candidates from somewhere else you might need to offer better working conditions. If someone is at the higher end of the spectrum as far as their job description goes, you might have to offer them a challenge which they’re not getting elsewhere.

If you’re hiring from North America, you’ll need to attract your candidates with different things as opposed to when you’re hiring from South America. Here are a few tips:

Hiring from North America

If you’re trying to attract candidates from the U.S. and Canada, keep in mind that cultural experiences might be a selling point. Many North Americans who are interested in studying or working abroad want to do so because they want to broaden their minds. They want to be exposed to new cultures. They want to have different experiences.

So when you’re trying to appeal to North American job seekers, you can emphasize how working with you is going to help them to have a novel, varied, rich cultural experience. Emphasize all the things they’ll learn. Describe all the places they’re going to see.

Another thing that many (not all) North Americans might be interested in is doing good. This is the reason why so many go abroad while working for Habitat for humanity or other non-profit organizations which don’t pay them much but enable them to do good the world over.

You can also emphasize how working with you will give the candidates a chance to do good. The working conditions might be tough and the pay might be moderate. But you can make doing good your selling point, so to speak.

Hiring from South America

Unlike North American job seekers, South American job seekers who are looking internationally tend to be more practical. If they are going to leave their country and go abroad for a job, it had better be one that pays them really well and looks good on their resume later on.

However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t attract South American candidates unless you are paying them very generously. You need to remember that South American candidates will be converting dollars (or whatever currency you’re paying in) into their own currency before deciding whether to take the job or not.

So the amount you’re willing to pay them just needs to be more than what they would be getting in their country. And if you’re hiring from the US or Europe, your currency is likely to be stronger than most South American currencies. So the amount, when calculated in their currency will probably be more.

The other thing that South American job seekers are looking for is a prestigious job which will look good on their resume. So if you’re hiring for an MNC (multi-national corporation) you have a higher chance of attracting someone from that part of the world.

A third thing that South Americans prefer is warm weather and a sense of community, both of which they tend to have in their countries. So if you can offer them a job in a warm place which has a number of other South Americans or international workers, then you’re at an advantage. At the very least, you can assure them that they’ll have good working conditions if they join your company.
