The lifestyle, affordability, natural beauty, and business-friendly environment are some of the biggest perks that have made many European countries desirable locations for multinational companies to establish their operations. However, finding and managing skilled professionals isn’t always straightforward, particularly for employers venturing into foreign markets and trying out new talent pools, how do you hire employees in such locations?
Challenge:
Hiring employees from another country can be a challenging task, especially if you do not have an established company in the country where you want to hire the new employee. Obtaining a temporary recruitment license in the desired European location can be intricate, and navigating the laws governing temporary, contract and permanent employment, as well as a lack of familiarity of the market, can make it challenging for businesses to integrate locally.
It is also understandable that companies may be concerned about ensuring a great candidate experience without a presence, and would rather rely on a team of local experts to handle the entire process.
Opportunity:
Different countries across Europe have a highly skilled workforce with a wide range of candidates open to work, providing an attractive employment market opportunity in many aspects. The flexibility and cost-savings that come with hiring contractors and temps can be a real advantage, especially during economic uncertainty. It reduces the long-term financial commitment to new staff, providing more flexibility for companies as they navigate the market.
Recently, Gig opportunities have become increasingly attractive to many professionals due to the recent redundancies and uncertainty in the market. This presents a chance for companies to access a pool of highly skilled and experienced workers who are actively looking for new opportunities. Additionally, the increase in remote working has made it easier for companies to have remote workers across the world, making geographical location less of an issue.
All in all, Europe’s wide range of highly skilled workers and recent market changes in many of the countries make it an attractive option for companies looking for employees.
