Why international recruiting is also an option for you

Recruiting professionals from abroad offers numerous advantages that will greatly benefit your company:

Access to a larger talent pool

By recruiting on an international level, you can extend your search far beyond Germany or Europe and tap into a significantly larger talent pool. Instead of relying on the limited number of professionals in Germany, you can search for the best talent worldwide.
‍
This increases the chances of finding highly qualified and specialised professionals who perfectly match your company's requirements. An example of our approach is the search for a satellite engineer for one of our clients. In the end, we were able to fill not only the one position we had been commissioned for, but also two other vacant positions from the candidates we put forward.

Case study – we can do the same for you: three hires from one expert search

MBS is a German teleport operator that had been struggling to find experienced satellite engineers within Germany. Therefore, searching the global talent pool was the logical next step for them, but they were lacking the resources and international network to do this in-house. Hence, we came in and were able to help. They wanted to hire one engineer initially, but ended up hiring three because our candidates were that strong.

Darstellung des Headhunting-Kampagnentrichters

“When working with headhunters, I am usually spammed with CVs, putting very little effort into pre-selecting candidates. As a result, my HR team spends a lot of time evaluating candidate profiles. Thanks to WTE, the pre-selected candidates are a better match for our needs. Compared to other headhunting companies, WTE proposed far more qualified candidates.”

Diversity within the team

International employees bring different perspectives and experiences to your company, which promotes innovation and creativity. The diversity in the team helps to ensure that problems can be viewed from different angles and innovative solutions can be developed.
‍
Studies have shown that diverse teams are almost always more productive and creative. This diversity will help your company to stand out from the competition, be more agile and tap into new markets.

Flexibility and adaptability

International talents are used to working in different cultures and therefore have a high level of adaptability and empathy. They are flexible and can quickly adapt to new working environments and requirements.

This ability to adapt is particularly valuable in an incredibly fast-changing business world. International employees help make your organisation more agile and resilient by bringing their diverse experience and skills to the table.

International recruiting allows you to expand your human resources while increasing your company's innovative strength and adaptability.

Take advantage of the benefits of global talent acquisition and rely on the expertise of WTE Search to find the best international professionals for your team.

Key considerations for international recruiting

Recruiting professionals from abroad is a complex task that requires careful planning and execution. Here are the most important aspects you should consider:

Legal framework

Work visa, professional recognition, and other authorisations

Find out exactly what the necessary procedures are regarding visas and professional recognition or certificate recognition for the countries you want to recruit from. It is important to have the right documents and authorisations to avoid legal problems and ensure that your new employees are legally allowed to work. The recent changes to the Skilled Labour Immigration Act have made the process considerably easier. If in doubt, just ask us. We know our way around and are happy to take care of the visa and relocation processes for every recruitment.

Labour law regulations

Make sure that you are aware of the relevant labour law regulations and comply with them when hiring international employees. For some professions, professional recognition or approval from the employment agency is required. We are also very familiar with this and will of course be happy to support you.

Cultural differences

Intercultural competence

Cultural differences can present a certain challenge, but above all they can also be an enrichment. Make sure that your new employees not only fit into the team professionally, but also culturally. Training and workshops on intercultural competence will help to avoid misunderstandings and promote cooperation with your existing team.

Language skills

Language barriers can make communication and integration of new employees more difficult. Therefore, make sure that candidates have the necessary language skills or are willing to acquire them. Language courses and support with language integration should be a matter of course for you.

Onboarding and integration

Onboarding process

A well-structured onboarding process is essential for the successful integration of international employees. A comprehensive onboarding programme should provide all the necessary information and resources so that new employees can quickly find their feet and become productive. This also includes cultural introductions and communicating the company's values and culture. Little things can make all the difference here, so be sure to point out things that are obvious to you, such as starting and finishing work, interpersonal issues or the time and place of breaks.

Mentoring programmes

Support new employees with mentoring programmes. Having an experienced employee as a mentor will help ease the onboarding process and can serve as a point of contact for questions and challenges. A mentoring programme will significantly increase the loyalty and satisfaction of new employees and promote their integration into the team.

Integration in everyday life

At the same time, it offers the opportunity to integrate new employees not only into the world of work, but also socially. For example, do you belong to a sports club, make music or socialise in other ways? You can be sure that the new employees will also want to experience something in their free time and that integration is always successful if it also takes place in their private lives. So don't be afraid to share information about weekly shops and supermarkets, local public transport and the best football club, bowling club, doctor, telephone provider or car dealer in the region.
