Eindhoven region – Brainport - is known for its many innovating high tech organisations and their high skilled employees. And the region and the number of companies is booming! Many companies start focusing their recruitment efforts on international candidates, as they are faced with the challenge of attracting and retaining talented employees with the right skills and education. • What are the financial, cultural and organisational consequences for a company when I hire a high skilled migrant? • What needs to be arranged? • And.. how will you make sure that the professional will be a happy long term employee in your company? Adding an international employee to your workforce can seem overwhelming at first, especially considering the various aspects that need to be taken into consideration; recruitment marketing, IND, taxes, HR, global mobility, expat management, culture training, spouses, family, education & schooling, Brainport, facilities, housing, socialising, education, language, events, colleagues, soft skills, salary, coaching, career perspective, environment. Yes, all of that.. on top of managing the expectations of the professional as well as the company. The process begins from the moment the organisation starts considering about hiring (abroad) and it is for that reason that a good first (digital) impression is very relevant. It would be my pleasure to brainstorm about the possibilities & challenges during this E2E process.
