Which country to hire in? Here’s how to start your global talent search

So you want to hire globally but don’t know where to look for talent?

Planning a hiring strategy is hard work, especially when you don’t know where to look. It involves planning, timing and a whole lot of research. The complexities of local labour laws, income tax and salary benchmarking could be enough to put you off. 

But the team at WorkMotion have got you covered. To help you decide which countries to consider in the recruitment process, we’ve come up with resources and tools that can help.

Keep reading as we share two tools that can help you decide where to hire talent for your business:

Tool #1 – Country Explorer

Based on your exact hiring requirements, this tool recommends the top three countries where you should look for talent. 

Here’s how it works:

Select your search parameters by adjusting the scales (from very low to very high importance) according to your requirements.

Click on Recommend Countries to see your top three countries (based on the importance you indicated for the eight criteria) 

Download our new Hiring Playbooks for each country to familiarise yourself with the general hiring landscape in a country.

Hit Clear to reset the scales, re-adjust the importance levels and make as many recommendations as you would like to get different results.

Tool #2 – Country Guides

If you are looking for insights on what to expect in each country, we also have 100+ comprehensive country guides on our website that are specially designed to help you navigate the hiring landscape of each country. 

These guides are free and easily downloadable and when you become a client of WorkMotion, we will also give you access to our country guides from within our platform. These contain much more detail, so you’ll have everything you’ll need to create a smart hiring strategy in one place.  

The guides provide you with up-to-date data about local holidays, labour conditions, leaves, benefits, and so much more. Check out the country specifics of your preferred international candidate here.
