The international recruitment process tends to be long and complex. Especially when the employers decide to carry it out on their own. Contacting a specialized global recruitment agency has a lot of advantages, especially since they not only take care of the legality of hiring foreigners, but also choose the best-fit employees for the company’s needs. In this text, some examples of typical problems that may occur during international recruitment will be briefly presented. Hiring a professional agency, like EWL, is a possible solution to all of them.

Challenge: Lots of legal documents. Who has to deal with all the necessary paperwork?

International recruitment is not always an easy process, as there may be some visa-related difficulties. There are also many things the employers need to consider, ensuring that the newly hired person stays. For example, their family situation and moving costs. What is more, the employment of foreigners in the EU is regulated by a number of legal documents – laws and regulations – which both the candidate and the recruiter should be familiar with. Too often it takes a lot of time, but it does not have to. EWL will help everyone interested to get legal things done accordingly.

It is worth remembering that changes in the employment of foreigners are quite frequent. Choosing to work with EWL – a temporary work agency – all entrepreneurs have a guarantee of full legality of stay and work of employed workers. We keep up to date with amendments to laws and respond in advance to changes in legislation. EWL is a responsible partner, always willing to help our clients in developing their businesses.

Challenge: Posting of cross-border workers – seems too complicated.

Posting of workers to European Union countries allows companies to hire foreigners from other member states. This is one of the most common methods of labor movement between EU countries. Workers delegated by employment agencies are a proven solution to staff shortages, especially during the peak season.

Cooperation with EWL, is a guarantee of legal employment. We have the necessary knowledge and experience in hiring and delegating workers from Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, and Poland for our business partners from various EU countries.

Challenge: Who speaks their language? Do I always have to hire a translator?

It depends. Many international candidates will speak one or more languages, in addition to English. However, many professions don’t really require fluent communication in English, so

the ideal candidate doesn’t necessarily need to know it. How can we hire them? Where to put the job offer?

There are numerous advantages to having multiple languages spoken within the organization. One is that bilingual people are found to be better at processing information and switching between tasks easily. The procedure of adding people to the in-house Human Resources can generate additional costs. It can be too time-consuming and too expensive to employ a translator for the in-house team, especially for a one-time international recruitment process. The solution is to hire an agency that provides global staffing services.

Global workforce management provider, such as EWL, takes care of the full international recruitment process, so the partners don’t have to worry about potential language barriers, as well as legal document preparations. EWL also stays in touch with the candidates once they are hired and mediates while any concerns or problems appear. EWL makes sure there is no constant rotation among the international staff.

Challenge: How to gain a specialist we need that lives overseas?

International recruitment is an effective way to gain good workers. It can also provide more  candidates for already open positions. Many people group international recruitment into the same category as hiring remotely. However, those are two very different hiring methods. International recruitment could be a great choice for those, who look for more hard-working individuals. It could also bring different perspectives to the company. That’s incredible for the company’s profits, staff engagement, and workplace culture.

Sometimes all the person needs to change his life for the better is a chance. EWL takes care of everything and makes sure that any future staff member feels welcome at the company he or she will work in. With a whole world of options, the probability of finding the perfect match rises. A global HR partner can boost this process, as EWL’s clients never have to worry about details such as time zone differences and complicated visa procedures.

So, wanting the company to become more profitable, international recruitment is the way to do it.
