Attracting and hiring international talent: turning global expertise into a competitive advantage

Access to the right skills is increasingly critical for companies in the life science and technology sectors. As competition for specialised expertise grows, international talent can provide organisations with not only valuable skills and experience, but also new perspectives, international networks and knowledge of other markets.

But attracting international professionals is only part of the equation. To truly benefit from global expertise, organisations also need to consider how they recruit, onboard, integrate and retain people from different cultural and professional backgrounds.

Two upcoming seminars will explore different aspects of this challenge – from building an inclusive organisation to navigating the practical realities of international recruitment.

• On 8 October, join Toolbox: Inclusive Talent Management: Unlock the Value of International Talent to explore how organisations can attract, onboard and successfully integrate international expertise. The seminar will look at what international professionals value when choosing an employer, the role of language and culture, and how organisations can create an environment where international talent can thrive.
• On 10 November, Toolbox: The Opportunity to Hire International Talent will focus on the realities of international recruitment. The session will provide practical perspectives on how organisations can approach international hiring and make the most of the opportunities it offers.

Together, the seminars provide an opportunity for companies and organisations to strengthen their approach to international talent – helping them access the skills they need while building more inclusive and internationally competitive workplaces.
