Recruiting in a Global Economy
January 29th, 2009 | by FS |Finding a fulfilling career has gone global. When searching for a new job, you don’t have to stick to your local newspaper or job center to see vacancies. With the global reach of the internet, finding the job you want is a click away. Do you have a specialized degree with unique skills? Are you looking for a specific kind of work? You don’t have to settle when it comes to career aspirations.
As an Executive Recruiter, I recruit people from all over the globe to fill jobs in locations across the United States. An often tough to fill job with very specific job qualifications is a software specialist position. I recruit foreign software specialists to fill jobs in situations where I cannot find a qualified candidate from the US. Using tele-conferencing technologies, I meet with the candidate to assess his qualifications and communication capability. We conduct computer based tests to ensure technological capability. The benefit of hiring foreign software specialists over an under qualified local candidate is they have the knowledge to immediately contribute to the new company and the candidates desire to prove himself in our dynamic marketplace. Relocating to America is a dream come true for foreign candidates and finding an American company to sponsor their citizenship visas is an easier way to get permanent residency. Recruiting globally is one of my business practices and helps me fill all of my positions for my customers.

Is it completely out of the question for a U.S. Citizen to work in another country? I think that would be a pretty amazing experience and I would love to do it. But I don’t even know how to look for job openings in other countries. Even if I did, I wonder if I would even get hired.

I know a lot of people that work in other countries. Most of them get the work through an American Company and then request a transfer to another location. If you are a free-lancer or have your own business you can work from anywhere. Most countries have a guest worker program, which is an excellent way to see the world and earn some money at the same time.
