Tips on Headhunting / Recruiting Abroad
Understand the employment environment of the country you are planning to recruit in (salaries, employment law, recruitment media, typical notice periods etc...).
Understand if your competitors have offices in the target country and if so where.
Ensure you have a website you can direct candidates to. It is common for international candidates to be suspicious of a headhunt phone call. Websites serve as credibility for you and the recruitment process.
Prepare written information that can be sent to candidates. Even the most fluent English speakers will welcome information they can read at their own pace.
Maintain good communication with candidates ensuring that they understand your recruitment process and time-scales.
Conduct face to face interviews in the target country. This will demonstrate your commitment to the recruitment and the country.
