Tips for recruiting international talent
- Prepare your job description in English. This makes the job easily discoverable and increases the chances of attracting the attention of the right candidates.
- Have a relocation plan ready before hiring someone from a foreign country. Ensuring this will help the talent in adjusting to Finland easily and ensure that they want to stay.
- Ask for references. This helps with background checks and ensures that you’re about to hire the right candidate.
- Make sure that the candidate fits your company’s culture. For this, enable proper interaction between your team and the candidate before hiring.
