🌍 Considering embarking on an Expat Recruiter Journey: The Pros & Cons of Relocating and Recruiting Abroad 🌏 As a Rec2Rec professional, I've witnessed and assisted in many recruiters taking the bold step of relocating overseas to pursue their careers, myself included! But with everything, there are pros & cons... Here's my take on being an Expat Recruiter. Pros: - Living in a new country offers an incredible chance to immerse in a different culture and broaden your worldview. This cultural exposure becomes a valuable asset in your career. - Working abroad significantly expands your professional network. You'll connect with a diverse range of candidates and clients, providing a richer pool of talent and opportunities. - International experience is highly regarded in the recruitment industry. It shows adaptability, resourcefulness, and a global perspective, making you a more attractive candidate for future roles. - Moving to a new country fosters resilience, independence, and problem-solving skills. - Obtaining market knowledge and understanding the recruitment landscape in different regions can give you a competitive edge, especially in global or multi-national firms. Cons: - Each country has its own legal and regulatory framework regarding employment and business practices, which can be a learning curve. - Adapting to a new culture, both professionally and personally, can be challenging and sometimes isolating. - If the move doesn't work out, it might affect your career trajectory. It's important to have a contingency plan. - Navigating time zones and global clients can lead to longer hours and impact your work-life balance. 🔑 Key Takeaway: Becoming an Expat Recruiter is a journey of professional and personal growth. It's not without its challenges, but the rewards can be substantial for those who are prepared to adapt and thrive in a global setting. 📌 Are you considering an expat recruiting role?

Great news for South African professionals who want to immigrate and work in the Netherlands and are proficient in English (but not so much Dutch – yet!) – English in the workplace is becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands! Dutch media reports that several major retail chains in the Netherlands, including Zeeman, Hema, Jumbo, Plus, Lidl, Aldi, and Albert Heijn, are enthusiastic about hiring English-speaking workers, and are even relaxing Dutch language requirements to accommodate the modern and diverse makeup of Dutch society. This shift in recruitment policies is primarily driven by the intense competition for talent in the Dutch job market. This change has also proven to be a pragmatic solution to swiftly address labour shortages and fill job vacancies. These retail giants have recognised the importance of reflecting the diverse society they serve, especially in major Dutch cities with a significant non-Dutch-speaking customer base. Many corporate companies in the Netherlands have also been employing English-speaking nationals, especially in international and multinational organisations. The Netherlands also has a thriving expat community, and English is widely spoken, therefore making it relatively easy for English-speaking nationals to find employment. That being said, Dutch will remain the main requirement for the majority of vacancies in the country, especially in customer-facing services roles, and we highly recommend that you make an effort to learn Dutch to ensure your integration into your community and workplace has longevity. In conclusion, there are plenty of opportunities for South Africans who don’t speak Dutch (yet) to secure work in the Netherlands.

Your colleagues need better reasons to stay 🏢 Insights from JobStreet, the online jobs platform, show that most working Filipinos consider leaving their job for a better one. 40% are passive yet open to good offers while 33% are actively looking for a new employer. About 6% might even leave their current employer without looking for a new job. This makes for a competitive market for talent where companies need to go above and beyond to keep or acquire the best people. And with a high nationwide employment rate of 95.2% (PSA), openness to new opportunities is unlikely to die down anytime soon. #marketresearch #employmentsurvey #quantitative #Philippines Note: JobStreet's 2022 survey results are sourced from BCG and The Network with n=11,438 respondents in the Philippines. Employment rate for July 2023 (95.2%) as reported by the Philippine Statistics Authority

When moving abroad, it is often helpful to ask fellow expats for advice. After all, they have all been there, done that, and got the t-shirt. They will be able to provide you with tips no online guide will, based on their own valuable experience and hard-earned life lessons.    There is no doubt then that it is worth it to talk to someone who has relocated in the past when you plan to follow in their footsteps.
