Excerpt from How to Get Global Recruiting Right: Tips and Tricks by Erik McRae
Key Questions You’ll Want to Address and Why
What is the local notice period for those transitioning jobs?
This is important in determining when to start recruiting for a role, setting expectations with hiring managers, laying the foundations for reporting, and maintaining relationships with Accepted Not Started Candidates.
Will you offer visa support, and who is preparing the guidelines if so?
If the company is establishing an entity, the topic of visa and visa support will arise. During these conversations, it is important to understand first if the answer is yes/no and two who will be responsible for monitoring the visa support process. This responsibility can fall to the People Operations team or the RecOps team. Having a clear understanding and go-to people will ensure smooth handoffs.
EOR may also offer visa support - you will need to coordinate with them and their timing if it is something you select to offer
Are specific vendors ready to operate in the new country? Do you need to expand your vendor contracts? What are the laws around these tools? Do you have the proper tools to vet candidates on initial calls?
Going international can present unforeseen issues with certain parts of your recruiting tech stack, including problems around posting limitations, ATS functionality, data protections, and more. For example, does your ATS support GDPR guidelines, or can you use transcription software in interviews? You will be prepared if questions arise by addressing taking the initiative to understand local tech requirements.
How much lead time does your onboarding team need for shipping technology/new hire swag?
Addressing this question will make you a friend to recruiters, hiring managers, candidates, and your onboarding team because everyone will clearly understand a realistic start date.
Are there any gray areas in this process, and if so, what is your legal team’s level of comfort with risk?
As technology changes, so do the laws and governance around them. Some legal teams are risk-averse, opting for a wait-and-see approach until competitors start making changes. Other legal teams are ok with being trendsetters. By understanding this risk tolerance, you can address questions better as they come in or recommend new technology.

GAI Prompt for RecOps
I have a list of candidates in a spreadsheet and I'm trying to calculate Time to Hire. In Column A is the candidate's full name. In Column B is the job name. In Column C is the date they entered the interview process. In Column D is the start date. I would like cell E1 to contain the average time a candidate spent in the process and in cell F1 to display the median amount of time that candidates spent in the process. Please write the formulas I would need to place in E1 and F1.
