Remote hiring: How to attract international talent

Working remotely is no longer just an exceptional measure resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. The trend is clear, more and more organizations are opting for remote work as a permanent modality. According to Forbes magazine, by 2027 half of the workforce in the United States will be remote.

Without geographical restrictions or limitations, companies offering remote work have more advantages and opportunities than the rest. In addition to lower costs, employees who work from home are often happier and more productive.

At International Health University we give you 4 tips to have a successful search for international talent.

1.-Consolidate an attractive brand and take care of your company's reputation

According to a study by Linkedin, before applying, 75% of people look at the identity and reputation of the company. Your corporate image, the vision and the values ​​that your organization projects to the world are key to capturing the attention of the right people. For the same reason, make sure that both the website and social networks are synchronized with the above and actively reflect it.

Along the same lines, make sure that your appearances in the media are positive and reflect what you project on your platforms. Bad publicity does exist!

But… How do you establish an attractive brand? One of the things that characterizes the most successful brands worldwide, such as Apple, Amazon, Tesla, among others, is that they are very clear about their purpose and know how to exploit it to attract not only their customers but also their collaborators. All companies are aware of what they do or sell, but very few know why. When you have it clear, hiring people who align with that same vision will be much easier.

2.-Loyalty to human capital

Even if you are working remotely, work dynamics and interpersonal relationships are something that you should not neglect. Many times, the main obstacle faced by job seekers is not knowing what it would be like to work within a certain organization. Make sure your brand is as attractive to your collaborators as it is to your customers.

Make sure you offer enough flexibility, autonomy and opportunities for growth so that your own employees speak well of you to potential new candidates. Remember that there is no better publicity for your company than what your own employees say about you. In addition, it's proven that job seekers are much more likely to believe their potential future colleagues about what it is like to work in a company, rather than what the boss says.

3.-A good insurance, with global coverage is always appreciated

One of the best things a company can give its workers is security. Health insurance is currently one of the most valued benefits by workers and is key when attracting talent from different parts of the world. In addition, it has been shown that productivity and motivation increase significantly in companies that care and prioritize the health of their workers.

Medical insurance with global coverage is an excellent alternative for those companies that work with remote teams, or whose workers must constantly travel to other territories.
