Have you ever made an international hire and it didn’t work out because of cultural reasons? When we recruit internationally, we are impacting the candidates’ professional and personal lives. As recruiters, we need to understand the likelihood of a successful move and ensure that the candidate is informed and making a good decision. In this mission, Nick Johnston will share his integrated model for recruiting across cultures, how to assess and inform through the recruitment lifecycle and real-life case scenarios.
Business are becoming ever more globalised, and working virtually with colleagues and clients from all four corners of the world is now the norm. However, have you ever experienced a misunderstanding with someone from a different culture where you thought you were clear? Or have you made a faux pas without realising it with an important client from a different country and culture? Cultural differences are nuanced but important, and understanding those nuances helps us all to work collaboratively and aligned on the same objectives. In this mission, we'll look at some of the most important research around cracking the culture code and apply it to how we work day to day, and how we recruit for increasingly globalised teams and organisations.
