Attracting the most qualified people for your company is a tough business, especially when it comes to very rare and narrow professional fields in engineering and technologies. Many companies opt for going international to find the best technicians and top-managers. Today we are starting a serial of articles concerning international recruitment and personnel management. In this article we identified basic skills that, in our view, are prerequisite for international recruiters today.
Proactiveness and sales skills
Compared to other HR specialities, recruiting is a highly competitive field. When a company determines to enter the worldwide arena, the rate of competitiveness even intensifies. When a situation in some areas of the labour market gets tense, a real battle for the most competent candidate begins. So in this environment, it is highly important to be proactive, brave and even aggressive in a good sense. Oftentimes, enticement of employees from a competitive company becomes one of the crucial practices in the international domain. To be successful in this contest it is crucial not only to reach an appropriate candidate, but to be able to sell a vacancy convincing a person how this particular job can boost his or her career.
Perseverance and attentiveness
Recruiting worldwide deals with working on a huge scope of data to accurately process and evaluate. In this aspect, an effective recruiter should be competent at assessing information solidity. Global recruiters operate a broad selection of relevant international and local business-related sources (job platforms, recruiting agencies’ databases, government portals and certain industrial websites, including social media networks). Therefore, it is important to verify how reliable and applicable those sources are in terms of searching for required specialists. When it comes to detailed information such as particular candidates’ profiles, the truthfulness of one’s biography, including possible crime records, recommendations from their former employers, academic certificates and other characteristics should be carefully considered and verified.
Ability to build and maintain social connections
Every recruiter is capable of finding an appropriate candidate, but only the best ones have a talent to get a right specialist interested in a vacancy, especially when it comes to technical jobs. Obviously, the most competent specialists in their fields are in great demand and they have a variety of options to choose from. Nowadays online social platforms lead directly to our personal life that makes it easier to connect and communicate to professionals around the globe on a more informal level. Thus, it is crucial to stay in touch with your potential candidates, even if they are not ready to accept the job right away. A successful recruiter behaves as a friendly career consultant always ready to give advice. It is a person whose opinion is appreciated and trusted. Hence, it is a person who is subsequently recommended and referred to in case of any career changes.
