It was fascinating to attend the recent webinar on “Streamline International Hiring with EOR Visa Sponsorship” hosted by Deel.
It was a real eye-opener especially considering the rapid changes in global mobility.
The event featured industry experts Masha Kamylle and Kayo who shared insights on the evolving landscape of global mobility the challenges faced by companies and how Deel can help.
It’s clear that traditional models for managing international workforces are no longer sustainable and companies need a more strategic and agile approach.
The New Reality of Global Mobility
Remember those pre-pandemic days when frequent international travel was the norm for many professionals? I used to spend a lot of time flying between client meetings conferences and even just catching up with colleagues.
The world seemed much smaller then connected by planes and face-to-face interactions.
But the pandemic changed everything and remote work became the new normal.
The panelists highlighted how this shift forced companies to re-evaluate their mobility strategies and adapt to a more virtual world.
Embracing the Flexibility of Remote Work
The panel made a compelling case for redefining work-life balance and flexibility.
Remote work has given employees the freedom to relocate and pursue personal dreams whether it’s moving to a new country or simply changing their living situation.
The pandemic has also empowered workers to prioritize their well-being and seek more meaningful career paths.
Leveraging EOR for Global Talent Acquisition
One of the key takeaways from the webinar was the growing importance of Employer of Record (EOR) services in facilitating international hiring.
EOR models allow companies to hire employees in other countries without having to establish a legal entity in that location.
This is a must for organizations looking to expand their talent pool globally but who may not have the resources or expertise to navigate the complexities of international labor laws.
Addressing the Challenges of International Hiring
The panelists also discussed the numerous challenges faced by companies when hiring internationally particularly in the context of visa sponsorship.
These challenges include:
- Complexity and bureaucracy: Immigration regulations are often complex and difficult to navigate with different rules and requirements in each country.
- Cost and time: The process of sponsoring a visa can be time-consuming and costly particularly if a company has to establish a local entity.
- Country-specific nuances: Each country has its own unique set of immigration rules and regulations which can be difficult to keep up with.
