10 Ways To Make Hiring Talented Candidates From Overseas Easier

Hiring from an international pool of candidates can be a great way to get the best and brightest minds in the business. Whether this is a remote role or something that will require relocation, you will need to understand the challenges and benefits of hiring an overseas team member.

You should understand visa requirements if you want the candidate to relocate. You should also understand the differences in culture that may impact working with overseas workers. This article will explore ways you can make hiring international candidates easier and more effective.

Market Your Location As Well As Your Job Opportunity

Show candidates that your state and local area are desirable places to live. Talk them through the accommodation options near your business and the visa and other documentation they will need if relocating.

Modify Your Recruiting Techniques

Ensure your recruiting techniques are suited to the specific country you’re hiring from. Research the local methods for hiring in different countries to ensure you successfully attract the best talent.

Offer Relocation Expenses

If relocation is necessary, offer your candidates help with travel and relocation costs. Provide help finding accommodation or offer company-paid hotel accommodation for the first few days or a week. Advise on where they should look for permanent housing and give references to landlords on their behalf.

Decide The Qualifications You Will Accept

Understand the range of qualifications that overseas candidates will possess. When you find a promising candidate, research their alma mater and specific qualifications to ensure they are suited to your business needs.

Hire A Reputable Immigration Law Firm

Choose an immigration law firm that will help you and your candidate understand the immigration law and visas needed for a seamless transition to the USA. Use a law firm with extensive experience and qualifications in immigration law such as Farmer Law PC, industry-leaders in immigration law in Texas.

Understand What Benefits Appeal To Overseas Candidates

Understand the types of benefits that appeal most to overseas candidates. Talk to candidates about their expectations and find out how to meet them. Include all the crucial benefits you would offer American candidates, such as healthcare.

Use The Right Jobs Sites

Use jobs sites aimed towards international workers. Filter candidates by country and ensure you verify their credentials. Consider using an international recruiter. Research to find the right fit.

Write A Clear Job Description

Ensure it is evident in your job description whether the role is relocation or remote based. Consider offering remote work initially so you and the candidate can get an idea of how well you work together. List the duties expected of them, the pay scales and be flexible with start dates.

Be Flexible With Interview Times

Be flexible when offering interviews to overseas candidates to allow time zone differences. If there is a significant difference in your time zones, meet in the middle. If an interviewee is traveling to the US for an interview, allow them time to recover from their jet lag.

Use Video Conferencing Tools For Interviews

Use video conferencing to make interviews simpler and cheaper for your candidate. Choose a reliable platform and ensure your Wi-Fi is stable.
