It's a small world after all... accessing candidates across the globe – a case study

The war for talent is international. With organisations seeking to make the most of business opportunities in the downturn, global graduate recruitment is rising to the top of the agenda.

A key issue reported by our clients is ensuring that all candidates have the core credentials required by a global programme, whilst allowing for local cultural differences. This is particularly important when it comes to ensuring that candidates are assessed fairly and equally – but meet the competency levels sought.

For example, should you have recruiters based in all the locations you mine talent from – or can you do it remotely and through travel? When you interview – do you do it the home language or English? How do you allow for differing levels of careers advice regionally – from Europe to Asia to South America?

Recently our in-house graduate search + selection team Brightest Minds has been sourcing UK-based candidates for roles in the Middle East. Our specialist knowledge means we've been able to target the most appropriate candidates through a mix of traditional and digital channels, attracting a range of applications. We are then able to assess candidates against a mix of competencies, using an understanding of cultural differences.

Our understanding and knowledge of global graduate markets means we are able to recruit graduates internationally, from Mexico, to Korea, France to South Africa. 
If this is something your organization is looking into, or if you'd like further information on GTI Recruiting Solutions and Brightest Minds please contact Simon Nairn at simon.nairn@gtisolutions.co.uk
