An international cross-border recruitment desk. Long briefs, properly vetted shortlists, one consultant who owns both ends of the search.
The Global Recruitment Co runs permanent recruitment across borders. Our briefs are rarely simple - a US scaleup building its first European leadership team, a London headquartered group hiring a country MD in Singapore, a Toronto employer sponsoring a senior engineer out of Bangalore, a São Paulo founder relocating to Lisbon. The roles range from senior individual contributors through to country MDs and regional presidents.
The team has run cross-border searches for over a decade. We work across 25+ countries. Our network reaches across local ecosystems on each side of the brief - an in-country source pool plus an in-country reference pool, not just an English-speaking LinkedIn list.
The person who picks up your call runs your search across hemispheres. No researcher in the back room. No handover when you sign the contract. No referral partner running the second country at arm's length. The phone number you dial first is the phone number you dial all the way through to the day-90 check-in once the candidate has landed.
An international hire is rarely just a CV match. We brief on visa pathway, relocation package, partner employment, school options for children, tax considerations and the realistic timeline before sourcing. The shortlist that comes back is built around candidates who actually move.
Right-to-work in target country, qualifications recognised by local accreditation bodies, references taken across language and time zones, and motivations probed properly. The shortlist is what you act on, not what you start triaging.
Send CVs we have not vetted in target country. Inflate salary expectations to win the brief. Pretend a candidate is mobility-ready when they are not. Pull a candidate from one of your competitors without their explicit, written consent. Run a search where the package looks under-priced for the country and seniority.
Founders and CHROs at companies entering a new market for the first time, regional MDs hiring their next layer, and global-mobility leads who need a recruitment partner who actually understands the visa stack. SaaS scaleups, established multinationals, professional services firms and specialist employers all sit comfortably with us.
Every permanent placement comes with a 12-week replacement guarantee from the candidate's first day in target country. If a hire does not stay, we re-run the search at no additional fee. The terms are written into the engagement letter, not buried in T&Cs.
