INTRODUCTION
Since inception in 1998 we have been passionate advocates of overseas recruitment - helping individuals move to another country whilst they build their careers. During those 14 years we have built real capability around this service, we believe part of our duty is to open your eyes (clients and candidates) to how it can benefit you professionally and personally. Also to highlight just how real the potential of the move can be!
The purpose of this brochure is to touch on these points, to give you an introduction to how we can help you and hopefully see you embark on this life changing journey.
WORK ABROAD - YOUR LIFE
Millions of people at some time in their lives have had the courage to uproot themselves, take a plunge and live and work in another country. Some never return, others view it as a short term stint and a bit of fun, whatever the plan and end game the vast majority would describe it as a highly enriching and life changing experience.
You are forced to engage in new social circles, it’s probably been some time since you were “forced” to make friends and felt out of your depth, re-establishing yourself, building a social group, finding a home and ironing out the creases (getting your mobile phone fixed up, opening bank accounts etc) is a hugely gratifying experience albeit challenging.
Most of the time people relocate to experience a change of scenery, this can encompass many things: travel opportunities, a new culture and a new lifestyle. Frequently you will find yourself engaging with similarly minded people as you, open minded explorers looking for adventure and great friendships can be harvested as a result.
The challenges you will face, the experiences you will have and the people you will meet are almost certain to add many strings to your bow and see you push yourself further AND grow as an individual.
WORK ABROAD - YOUR CAREER
Whether they say it or not, a number of employers look for individuals with an international mindset, people that lived and ideally worked abroad. The “international post” is something that adds huge weight to the CV demonstrating, courage, flexibility, the ability to overcome challenges, the ability to integrate personally and professionally as well as commitment. All critical components of a good employee.
