1. Understand the employment environment of the country you are planning to recruit in (salaries, employment law, recruitment media, typical notice periods etc...).
2. Understand if your competitors have offices in the target country and if so where.
2. Understand if your competitors have offices in the target country and if so where.
3. 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.
5. Interview in the target country. This will demonstrate your commitment to the recruitment and the country.
6. Plan more time for interviews than you would in the UK. Even the most fluent of bi-lingual speakers will take longer to interview.
7. Use Behaviour Profiling tools to get under their skin . These tools are more effective than interviewing in a second language.
8. Maintain good communication with candidates ensuring that they understand your recruitment process and time-scales. Frequent communication is also critical during the offer process.
9. Ensure you will succeed recruiting abroad by partnering a Headhunter with extensive International Recruitment experience. Incidentally Collingwood Search and Selection Ltd's Consultants have been recruiting internationally for over 12 years.
