Why is recruiting international talent important?

For a company, finding the best employee is paramount. Because of employee shortages in certain fields as well as specialized skills needed in many jobs, the best employee might be someone with an international background. Considering international talent can help a company expand its talent pool.

Hiring diverse talent benefits a company in many ways even if the company isn’t aiming for the international market.

• Diversity enhances creativity and efficiency at workplace.
• Diversity shows that the company is open-minded and dynamic, which helps attract young, skilled workers.
• Diverse workforce expands company’s reach as employees bring their networks with them.
• If a company is aiming for the international market, international talent can help with exports as well as with attracting foreign investment.
• Because of Finland’s aging population, it is urgent that companies hire international talent to ensure their own future success.
