Technology has enabled businesses to expand their capacity by recruiting from the global markets.

Therefore, organizations no longer have to deal with talent challenges.

However, there are factors that make various regions different

Therefore, the recruitment strategy must be specific for each location

Introduction



In the past businesses had to rely on the talent available in the places in which they were in operation since it was almost impossible to recruit people from the global market. This limited the number of people who were qualified for certain positions hence making the recruitment process very difficult and time consuming. This also made labor costs very expensive because business organizations had to pay higher to retain the few qualified people who were available (Abowd & Freeman, 2008). However, technology advancement has made it easier for business organizations to hire people from anywhere in the world. Therefore, business organization no longer have to pay very high wages to retain the employees or spend too much money in the recruitment process. However, every location in the world has certain factors that make it different from other places (Abowd & Freeman, 2008). It is important to know these factors so that the organization can choose the right strategies for recruiting talent in those locations.

Strategies for recruiting in Canada



One of the strategies that should be used when recruiting in Canada is a broad advertisement strategy that will help reach a wide range of candidates. Canada is a relatively big and highly populated country hence the job advertisement must be on a platform that will reach many people. This will help to increase the chances of attracting the most qualified people to apply. The application forms used in the process needs to be well structured so that most of the information needed about the applicants can be gathered. For instance, they should be able to show their nationality, qualifications, and experience in the respective positions being applied for (Abowd & Freeman, 2008). After the application process the qualified candidates should be short listed and then taken through a comprehensive interview process that will help to shed some light on other factors other than their education qualifications and experience. After this process is completed then the best candidates can be selected for the position.

Factors to consider when recruiting in Canada



There are some factors specific to the Canadian labor market that need to be taken into consideration in this recruitment process. One of the most important factors that should be considered is the Canadian law on employment and human rights. Every country has very specific laws when it comes to the recruitment of employees hence this is not a factors that can be overlooked (Noe et al., 2008). Additionally, there are health and safety requirements that every Canadian citizen has the right to be protected under hence all employers, regardless of where they are from, must comply with them.

In Canada, there is the issue of the seasonality of hiring top talent. When most of the Canadian schools hold their final graduation ceremonies, there is usually an influx of fresh and new graduates with the zeal to work. Finally, the cost and time commitment is very important because Canada is a foreign country hence the process is likely to take longer and be more costly.

The company must fulfill all of Canada’s laws and regulations related to employment and human rights.

Health and safety requirements differ from country to country

More talent to choose from is available during the high recruitment season

The more time and money is dedicated to the process the more the chances of recruiting the best employees

Why are these factors important?



For any company that is recruiting new talent in Canada, there are some legal requirements and laws that must be considered. Canada has strict laws on employment discrimination and they are not necessarily similar to those of the United States. Therefore, as a new company, it is important to b familiar with these laws to avoid making mistakes that would cause legal problems for the company. Similarly, the health and safety laws of Canada are not the same as those in US hence it is very important that the company is familiar with them before implementing the recruitment strategy. The issues of seasonality of talent is important because the company can wait till the time when there is an influx of talent in the Canadian labor market to choose the best recruits. It is also important to consider the time and costs of the recruitment process as the more the company will dedicate to the process, the better the chances they will have of finding the best recruits.
