THE REALITY OF HIRING.

Attracting the best and brightest individuals to your organization is a key part of staying competitive in today’s business climate. While this task may seem daunting, there are strategies that you can employ to ensure you have top-tier talent joining your team. One strategy is exploring the potential of hiring foreign professionals with specialized skills that can bring valuable knowledge and experience to your business. This may sound like an intimidating undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be; with careful research and due diligence, hiring exceptional foreign professionals can be accomplished without violating any regulations or protocols. The global playing field has shifted towards attracting talented professionals from abroad. You can take advantage of this trend by looking for opportunities outside your domestic job market.

On top of recruiting candidates, managing new candidates can be just as complex of an undertaking, especially for small companies with limited bandwidth. Efficiently navigating the hiring process requires a considerable investment of time and resources that many businesses simply cannot afford. In an already challenging economic climate, the added burden of recruiting and retaining new employees can be discouraging. Turnover is costly to businesses but is an all too common issue across industries.

Depending on growth rate and size, companies that lack the resources to effectively manage their recruitment efforts may struggle to attract the right talent, leading to a decrease in productivity and profitability. For these businesses finding efficient solutions for their staffing needs is essential to long-term success.

A strategy that often gets overlooked is hiring remote support for those open positions. Since the pandemic, remote work has become more and more common in today’s work environment. A 2023 report by Apollo Technical analyzed the productivity of people both before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and found that there was no significant drop in productivity for remote workers. In fact, according to the report, many workers experienced increased productivity due to fewer distractions and a better work-life balance. Their study found that working remotely can increase productivity by up to 77%. The report also found that flexible work arrangements, such as remote work, can increase employee satisfaction and retention.

In light of the changes to the labor market, including the increase in competition, it’s time businesses get creative in their search for critical professional support positions. Business is no longer exclusively done in person; we know this is also true of many labor solutions.
