### There’s a whole host of reasons why hiring overseas workers can benefit businesses, not least of all that it opens up the potential to enrich your talent pool with high-calibre candidates that might otherwise be missed.

 

 

### 1) Travelling

There’s no need to hop on a plane to be able to handle overseas recruitment. Utilising an interface such as Skype to simulate face-to-face contact with a candidate from abroad is a great way to engage with people and get a feel for the person behind the CV.

Once you’re keen on a candidate, you can progress to a [video interview](http://snapshot.logicmelon.com/MySites/LogicMelon/logicmelon.com/resources/blog/video-killed-clunky-hiring-3-unmissable-developments-in-video-recruitment.html) – use recruitment tech to rank, rate and record your candidates, pre-record questions and move them through your hiring process.

### 2) Assessment

Sometimes a face-to-face interview is a must, but you'll want to keep the invites to a minimum.

Slash that shortlist by assessing candidates thoroughly before firing off an interview RSVP. You can use online, skills-based assessment to determine who'll cut the mustard and avoid wasting your time, or theirs.

### 3) Research

You'll have a bit of homework to do before taking the plunge and hiring overseas workers.

Rather than taking a punt or asking a far-flung amigo for advice, you can check out visa/sponsorship requirements and cultural differences with a simple online search. There’s a wealth of information waiting at your fingertips!

### 4) Advertising

Fear not – you don't need a working knowledge of the Kazakhstani classifieds when hiring overseas workers.

With recruitment tech, you can ping out your job ad to all and sundry with a single click, whether you're targeting local online job boards or using social media sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

### 5) Experience

Chatting to candidates and [making sure they're happy campers](http://snapshot.logicmelon.com/MySites/LogicMelon/logicmelon.com/resources/blog/ouch-why-bad-candidate-experience-sucks-for-everyone-and-how-to-rescue-your-employer-brand.html) is super-important, especially when hiring overseas.

Answer all their questions via social media or a dedicated recruitment tech platform, then use these answers to create a set of FAQs. You can also [use recruitment tech to speed up admin](http://snapshot.logicmelon.com/MySites/LogicMelon/logicmelon.com/resources/blog/top-4-tips-to-trim-recruitment-time-frames.html) and get those offers out even faster.

Borders shouldn't be a barrier to landing high-quality candidates with the right skills and experience. Use these top tips in tandem with a little recruitment tech, and you’ll be well on your way to gaining some top talent from overseas!
