The success of your global expansion may come down to finding the right talent in a new country. You’ll need to start by sourcing qualified candidates and effectively recruiting, hiring, and onboarding your new team. These processes include much more than advertising your open positions in the right places. You’ll need to follow legal employment laws, including creating proper contracts and offering compliant benefits.
If that sounds like a lot to handle on your own, Globalization Partners can help. We’re experts in Micronesian employment and can take care of every detail of your hiring processes quickly and smoothly. With our global PEO services, you can quickly start working in a new country.
Micronesia’s booming tourism industry has led to an influx of new jobs and varied in-demand skill sets. However, even with a growing service industry across the islands, the unemployment rate remains high. This has created a competitive job market where companies such as yours can provide vital employment opportunities.
As a result, the positions you advertise will likely be met with high response rates. If you are handling your recruitment internally, you’ll want to ensure that you have adequate HR resources and personnel on hand to manage the application process.
Before publicly advertising your open positions, create a job description that clearly explains the nature of the position and what you are looking for in any prospective hire. Once you have completed your job description, carefully consider where to post it. For the best results, try advertising your open position in various places, including digital job sites and print newspapers. If you have any local connections, you might request that they spread your open positions through word of mouth.
Once you’ve received responses to your job posting, your HR team can begin to identify strong candidates and schedule interviews, along with any skills tests as needed.
Recruiting Micronesian workers can take place in various ways. Many employers choose to use popular digital job-hunting websites such as CareerJet and Indeed. These tend to garner success among younger workers across the country. You can also place an advertisement in the job section of newspapers, such as the Kaselehlie Press.
Once you’ve completed the recruitment process, you should have a qualified candidate to hire. You’ll need to write an employment contract, which you and your new employee will both sign to make the employment relationship official. Your employment contract should include agreed-upon details about the position, including the salary, working hours, nature of the position, and an end date if it is a fixed-term contract.
It’s vital to be aware of the country’s discrimination laws to remain legally compliant throughout the recruiting process. The Constitution expressly prohibits employers from discriminating against candidates based on gender, race, and religion. The country’s labor laws include the same regulations and provide protection for persons with disabilities. Keep these factors in mind throughout the hiring and onboarding processes, including during the interview phase. You cannot ask questions that would exclude certain candidates based on these factors.
Once you have successfully recruited and hired your new team members, it’s time to begin onboarding them. This process is a vital part of helping employees feel comfortable and connected to your company culture. Your onboarding process should also include an extensive training program to ensure all employees are familiar with your company’s hardware and software, as well as any specific job-related capabilities they’ll need.
In addition, build in some time to acquaint your employees with your company’s values and expectations. This will ensure everybody is on the same page in regards to your workplace code of conduct and expected behaviors.
Finally, any onboarding practices should leave room for your employee to feel heard. Encourage them to ask questions, raise concerns, and express any cultural norms and nuances that may shape their working experiences. A thoughtful onboarding process will position both your employees and your entire overseas company for success.
