Challenges to hire Ukrainian and international candidates?
Are you wondering why your international job openings are not attracting the right quality and quantity of candidates?
Are you frustrated that perfect candidates are ghosting you after a perfect interview and your job offer?
Or, did you experience a situation with international candidates who signed your job offer and then did not show up at work even though you have spent a lot of time and effort into the mobilization and immigration process?
The recruitment of Ukrainian and international staff offers great opportunities for employers to fight against labor shortages and skill gaps. The recruitment of foreign staff faces however unique challenges and require more preparation and efforts compared to the hiring process for local staff.
Employers facing this 4 challenges
- Employer Branding - foreign candidates cannot visit your plant / office and are relying on your website and social media presents
- Language Barrier - candidates expect employer information and job descriptions in their native language even when they speak good English
- Mobilisation First - Full transparency and guidance through the immigration, mobilization and housing process is essential for the recruiting process of foreign staff
- Native Language Support - From the first interaction, interviews, mobilization planning, immigration process and the onboarding. Candidates expect at least for the beginning native language communication
Why Recruiting Marketing for Ukrainian and international candidates?
Awareness: Before any potential candidate applies for your vacancy they first need to be aware of the opportunity. Building Awareness requires advertising in social media channels, job boards, and classified ads but also targeted outreach campaigns to potential candidates.
Consideration: Potential candidates who became aware of your employment opportunity are googling your company, pulling up employee profiles on LinkedIn, and reading reviews on Glassdoor. You are wasting opportunities if your website and social media channels are not representing your employer brand and company culture.
Interest: Candidates want to talk/chat with somebody in their native language before they are ready to apply for a job opportunity. Even the best job advertisement and the most complete employer branding do not answer all candidate questions.
