What You Need to Know about Tawzef’s Overseas Recruitment Services

Finding the right talent for your company is costly in many countries. Especially where local talent is scarce, or the market hasn’t yet evolved with business needs.

That’s why companies will often turn to overseas recruitment service providers like Tawzef. 

Despite its name, overseas recruitment isn’t that hard, if you have the right partner. 

Done right, it can be the reason you find skilled individuals, who meet your business needs, and deliver great results. All without breaking the bank. 

Read on to learn more about overseas recruitment with Tawzef and how we’ve secured overseas talent for various companies. We’ll also highlight the differences between overseas recruitment and offshoring in brief. 
 

What is overseas recruitment?

Overseas recruitment is the process of hiring employees from foreign countries to work for you on a remote or in-house basis. 

In the case of in-house team members, the hiring company, or an HR agency, is responsible for providing compensation and travel allowance. 

Companies that resort to overseas recruitment do so to hire talented individuals, not available locally. Think of it as importing talent to your home country.

An example of overseas hiring is when a construction company in the United Arab Emirates seeks construction engineers. However, the supply of local talent is limited and too expensive.

To overcome these issues, this UAE company turns to an overseas recruitment agency like Tawzef to secure talent on its behalf.
 

Overseas recruitment vs offshoring: Top differences

Often overseas recruitment is used interchangeably with offshoring. However, there are differences between the 2 concepts. 

While overseas hiring involves bringing talent to work for you in your local country, offshoring refers to the practice of relocating entire business processes or operations to another country.

Let’s take the example of the UAE company again. This time, it wants to set up a call center. However, to maintain cost effectiveness, the UAE firm sets up its call center in Egypt, where operating and labor costs are much lower. 

However, to do this, the UAE company needs a company that provides offshoring or call center outsourcing services. It needs to set up a new location or subsidiary to manage employees and operations on its behalf in Egypt.

To set up the Egyptian unit, the UAE construction company will need to work with a third-party provider to manage its legal and employee-related paperwork. This third-party provider can be an offshoring service provider, HR outsourcing company, or an employer of record. Tawzef does all of that. 

In other words, both overseas recruitment and offshoring involve hiring foreign talent. However, the location where these talents will work is the top differentiator.

Why choose Tawzef’s overseas recruitment services 

Among the top reasons companies resort to overseas recruitment is to cut costs, hire strong calibers, and improve business efficiency.

If you’re looking for overseas recruitment services, here’s why you should consider Tawzef as your recruitment service provider.
 

Overseas and mass recruitment services 

As mentioned, Tawzef offers overseas hiring services. However, we also offer them in combination with mass recruitment. 

Some companies, like the UAE company, need to hire dozens of workers to begin projects quickly. 

To do so, it would turn to Tawzef to secure talent, conduct initial interviews, and have Tawzef complete all the necessary paperwork and travel itinerary for successful candidates to travel.

In fact, Tawzef has carried out overseas mass recruitment projects for a number of Gulf countries. Tawzef deployed 40 doctors to a Omani hospital, and over 30 HSE engineers to a leading Saudi construction company.

Full recruitment process 

Depending on the role needed, Tawzef can perform the entire recruitment process on behalf of the client. 

In cases where only a handful of candidates are needed, Tawzef manages everything from sourcing and screening CVs to initial interviews to testing if needed.

For mass recruitment needs, companies often have different requirements and the hiring process is different.

However, employment tests such as language tests are available for the client to use through Tawzef.

Securing a location for a mass hiring event 

For overseas and mass hiring needs, Tawzef helps companies secure a location for the mass-hiring and interviewing event in Egypt. 

Tawzef’s team is also responsible for contacting candidates and applicants, setting up interviews, and following up after the interview.

Securing travel itinerary for overseas hires 

Tawzef’s overseas recruitment services also include mobilizing selected candidates. This means securing travel itinerary for successful new hires, including acquiring their visas, travel documentation,…etc. 

Tawzef overseas recruitment use cases 

Now, let’s look at some of Tawzef’s overseas hiring success stories. It’s worth noting that some of these examples overlap with mass recruitment. 
 

Case Study #1: Large construction company in Saudi Arabia

Due to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), we are unable to share the names of those companies. But one large construction conglomerate in Saudi Arabia needed to hire several HSE safety inspectors. 

They turned to Tawzef with their hiring needs. Over a period of 2 weeks, Tawzef was able to secure 240 candidates, conduct initial phone screening interviews, and share relevant resumes with the company. 

Successful candidates then got their itinerary and travel documents through Tawzef and arrived in Saudi Arabia to start their new jobs.
 

Case Study #2: Hospital in Oman 

This project was in collaboration with the Omani Ministry of Health. The target was to find doctors for a new hospital in Oman. They wanted to hire Egyptian doctors in a number of specialties.

The ministry turned to Tawzef to find its needs in Egypt. Tawzef was responsible for securing medical talent, initial screening, hosting the mass hiring event, and preparing travel documents for the successful candidates. 

Tawzef successfully sourced and screened 264 candidates and had 80 doctors attend interviews. Of those interviewed, the Omani ministry hired 40 candidates and had Tawzef manage the rest of the hiring process for them. 
 

Whether you’re looking for a single individual for an in-house vacancy, a team, or group of talented individuals, Tawzef has you covered with overseas recruitment solutions.
