When reviewing the applicant pool for your next position, we’d like to introduce the idea of hiring a foreign national.  In an ever-changing market, many employers are beginning to recognize the unique opportunity that hiring a foreign national can bring to their company.  Below are just a few reasons:

Expertise, insight, and innovation that foreign professionals can bring to U.S. markets.

Many employers transition into the process of employment-based immigration through internships or temporary workers.  Foreign students study current career paths lacking in talent with the proper skillset, knowledge, and innovation.  That brings opportunities for growth to both businesses and the U.S. economy, alike.  It’s a win-win situation, as many students get to hone their skills while gaining experience by working for top companies, and employers get the chance to see the unique gifts that these potential employees can bring to the table.   

Benefit of transitioning from intern to employee

Furthermore, in recruiting interns as employees, employers are saving money in the training and acclimation of new employees to the company’s business structure.  In creating a smooth transition, the employee gets a running start and the employer sees the fruits of their investments right away.

Diversity, Diversity, Diversity!

Along with innovation, foreign nationals bring with them diversity in language, culture, global market insights, and fresh ideas that will truly enhance a company’s working environment and company culture.  Company’s gain so much more than an employee, they gain a new frame of mind that will allow their business to grow into sectors they may have never imagined.
