Hiring International Employees - Tips for Global Hiring 🇺🇸

Do you feel trepidation at the thought of looking for talent outside the country? It's an intimidating process for sure! I'm not American, but I feel the same way here. Surprisingly, it might not be that hard. This one is for all my American HR friends! I interviewed Sergio Athanasso for this. He's an American corporate immigration lawyer and knows the ins and outs of bringing workers to the US. A few tips that he shared: 🚀 It's a lot easier than you might think, but you should hire an immigration lawyer and/or experienced recruitment firm. 🌟 Success is a combination of the person's background matched to the position matched to the visa category. 📅 The lead time can range from 4 weeks to a year. Eg Canadians are the easiest and it goes up from there. ⛔️ If you hope to hire someone who is in the US illegally or a visitor: nope. It won't work. ‼ Foreign workers often make excellent employees! Despite being Canadian, this opened up a window of opportunity in my mind. It's feasible for almost any talent acquisition strategy. Why not consider it?
