Cross border co-operation

As I mentioned in my blog a month ago, the world is getting smaller moment by moment and at the heart of this change has been the continual advancement of technology, enabling you to Skype each other or run live video conferences, rather than conducting all of your communication by email.

However, all of these technologies have a limiting factor and that’s because nothing beats the one to one human contact that meeting in a room together offers.

As companies increasingly spread their global wings, the need to recruit accordingly inevitably rears its head and that’s where InterSearch has a trump card. With offices in 45 countries we can pull together a team wherever you or your needs are. This week we had a classic example of exactly this when I headed out to Paris to meet the HR Director of a client that was moving its Head Office. Putting aside the fact that I turned up an hour late (thanks for that Eyjafjallajökull) my colleagues from the European offices and I have been able to put together a co-ordinated search process that will target candidates in four countries in order to deliver a comprehensive shortlist and the best candidate for the job.

It became apparent that they wouldn’t have trusted the assignment to a firm that didn’t have consultants in situ in their target countries, nor one that couldn’t manage the co-ordination of those consultants to the advantage of the HR Director.
