What our clients struggle with the most is convincing candidates to relocate abroad. Many companies can see that hiring native speakers help a lot for the organization, provides highest level of external communication, gives the company fresh, new point of view and is able to attract customers from native market way more easily. Relocating for a job is a big decision for many candidates, and for HR professionals, it's crucial to make the transition as smooth and appealing as possible. Here are some strategies to enhance your job offers and attract top talent to relocate: 1. Transparency with salaries - job offers that include clear salary details convert 45% better. Make sure to list salaries and highlight attractive benefits. 2. Comprehensive Benefits - go beyond salary by offering health insurance, relocation packages, assistance with documentation and accommodation, flexible work models, and development incentives. Remember, salary alone is not a benefit! 3. Explain Purchasing Power: Acknowledge that €1000 in Italy differs from €1000 in Switzerland. Explain the local purchasing power to candidates. 4. Cost of Living Insights: If your company can't match the high salaries of other countries, explain the lower living costs in your location to provide a better overall picture. You can even provide information how much basic grocery costs in country you’re hiring for, how much is average for room / apartment to rent in the city you’re hiring for. 5. Educational Promotion: Participate in events like #GoPlaces, starting on August 19th, 2024, to promote your city and educate candidates on the benefits of relocating. By addressing these key areas, you can significantly increase your chances of convincing candidates to make the move and provide a completely new point of view for the company and its growth. #TalentAcquisition #Relocation #HR #EmployeeBenefits #GlobalRecruitment #GoPlaces2024

On our job platform, Europe Language Jobs, we've observed that these four points significantly enhance the performance of job offers in 45%. Point 3, regarding the differences in purchasing power, is especially important for companies hiring in Portugal that aim to attract candidates who speak high-demand languages in the market, such as Nordic languages, German, and Dutch. Competing to attract native citizens from high-salary countries is a widespread challenge. According to Eurostat, the average annual salary in countries like Germany and the Nordic countries can be up to 2-3 times higher than in Portugal, making it difficult to lure candidates to lower-paying markets. However, thanks to the niche market insights that ELJ possesses and our personalized support, we are able to provide refined results, ensuring fewer random applications and higher quality matches for your job offers.

Today, I attended the First Friday of the Month event organized by Sammen om en jobb, where I finally had the chance to meet Cynthia Myrnes and Melanie Silz in person. These two, along with the infamous Anthony Hawke, are considered local heroes in the Stavanger Expats community. 🥰 The event was opened by Tone Indrelid who shared her story highlighted the challenges of re-establishing herself in a foreign country, especially after taking time off to raise a family. It wasn’t easy, and that’s exactly why she founded Sammen om en jobb—to provide support and guidance for people in a similar position, particularly highly-educated foreigners with diverse backgrounds trying to find relevant jobs in Norway. Cynthia Myrnes, the main speaker of the event, is a perfect example of overcoming these obstacles. She came to Stavanger years ago as a highly-educated foreigner. While her education was recognized by Norwegian institutions (NOKUT), it wasn’t enough because she didn’t speak the language. Undeterred, she started offering pet-sitting services and later worked at a coffee shop while learning Norwegian. She and her friends also launched a blog—the Stavanger Expats blog, which became the foundation of Stavanger Expats community and her successful career as the CEO of Relocation AS. From these two stories, a few key takeaways that stand out: 1️⃣ Career paths aren’t always linear. Some people take breaks, others pivot, and that’s perfectly fine. Everyone faces their own challenges. What matters is your ability to learn, adapt, and transfer skills to new opportunities. 2️⃣ Networking is essential. As foreigners, we have different cultural norms and approaches. What seems acceptable in one culture might not be in another. Networking helps bridge this gap, allowing us to learn local customs and perspectives while integrating more effectively. It also provides valuable connections, job referrals, guidance, and insights into your blind spots and hidden potential. 3️⃣ Our cultural background is our asset. Many of us speak at least two languages, and we understand how the market behaves in our own culture. The key is to find a niche market where these skills and insights are in demand. As I reflect on these lessons, I found hope and reassurance. My journey to finding a relevant job might not be straightforward, but that doesn’t mean I’m lacking or falling behind. I’m reminded that I have my own pace and my own strengths, and with time, everything will fall into place. #sammenomenjobb #networking #foreigner #stavanger #stavangerexpats

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒕 𝑱𝒐𝒃 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒂: 𝑨 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 Finding a job in Malaysia as a non-local? Let me share my experience—not as an HR expert, but as a technical professional navigating the job market. This is based on my own journey and the stories I've heard from fellow expats. If I make any mistakes, I appreciate your respectful corrections in the comments. In 2020, Malaysia implemented a policy requiring employers to advertise job vacancies on the MYFutureJobs portal before hiring expatriates or foreign workers. This move is a commendable effort to prioritize local talent, helping Malaysians secure jobs that might otherwise have gone to foreigners. While I fully support Malaysia’s commitment to its local workforce, it has also made the job hunt for many expats, including myself, much more challenging. Let me rewind and tell you how I ended up here. I met my Malaysian wife in Belgium during her temporary posting there. When her assignment ended, I made the big decision to leave my job, sell my belongings, and move to Malaysia with her. My career in Belgium had been smooth sailing—I’d never been unemployed or struggled to find a good job. In fact, people with my skills are in high demand there. So, naturally, I assumed that finding work in Malaysia would be just as straightforward. Once I secured my Spouse Visa, I started applying for jobs in full force. I lost count after a few hundred applications—probably more. The result? Cue the sound of crickets. I received maybe ten responses, all rejections. Here’s where things get tricky. Since the government began prioritizing locals, companies have become hesitant to even consider expats for roles. Many aren’t aware that Spouse Visa holders like me have our own work visas and don’t require the job to be posted on MYFutureJobs. We can be hired just like locals. Yet, our resumes often get dismissed without a second thought. Then there’s the issue of salaries. It’s often said that expats are too expensive. But is that really the case? Expats like myself bring specialized skills and experience that are sometimes hard to find locally. Paying accordingly isn’t unreasonable when we can offer something valuable to the company. And yet, I’ve never even had the chance to discuss salary in an interview because, well, I’ve never had an interview. Why not give us the opportunity to talk? You might be surprised by what we can offer. Now, let’s address the challenging aspect of this situation. While I hesitate to label it definitively, it does raise concerns when non-locals face additional barriers to opportunities. We’ve already made the difficult decision to leave our homes, families, and friends behind—why make our lives even harder by creating more obstacles to earn a living? I hope sharing this perspective opens up a conversation about how we can create a more inclusive job market for everyone.
