It seems that in the last four years two topics have been on most companies minds. These are of course,
- Finding educated works to fill the growing number of empty positions in Canada’s tech industry
- Growing a more diverse workforce
The world is changing and most industries have been persuaded to change with it. Social pressure from clients and customers alike is driving companies to diversify in gender as well as race, and in many other areas. This change is a step forward for modern society and a big change of pace for companies. Businesses are now looking inward, becoming more introspective in regard to who and how they hire. However, to find what they need to satisfy the growing demand for highly educated works, and more diverse culture, they have to look outward.
What companies need now more than ever is to hire internationally.
What it brings to your company
Hiring overseas gives companies an opportunity to grow. Hire internationally can bring new ideas, a fresh perspective, and information you previously did know existed or didn’t have access to. All these things stem from different educational and cultural backgrounds as well as a lifetime of experiences in a different environment. Let’s look at it from a business planning perspective. As a savvy business professional, you know that not all businesses are the same; they require different planning, structure and knowledge to succeed. You also know that two business in the same industry can both be very profitable with different plans and with CEOs of different skill sets. However, the key to out performing that other company is to have more knowledge and a better competitive edge; something that can only be done by bringing in the right people.
And its not just hear say either. In a study by ThiswayGlobal, they state that compared to less diverse organizations, “ethnically-diverse companies perform 35% better”. This means that, economically, productively, and in terms of worker satisfactions, your company is out performing its competitors that are less diverse. There’s a lot more to gain than loose by adding to your team.
More choice
You may have already heard that Canada is facing a labour shortage, and has been for some time now. Although regular immigration is said to alleviate some of this economic stress 39% of small and medium sized businesses are already having difficulty finding new workers, according to the BDC. Additionally, these shortages are most series in British Columbia and Ontario. In these provinces, this shortages is most impacting Vancouver and Toronto, which just so happens to be some of the fastest growing tech hubs in North America.
“international tech companies and investors now consider Canada as the best environment in which to do business, expand or relocate”
With a growing tech sector and an ever increase demand on the jobs market, the only place to find workers is through international recruitment. However, connecting to theses job seekers is a task all of its own. Finding, organizing and qualifying future employees takes on a different shape for every industry and in every country.
What we do at Taraz
We started out as an immigration agency. Over that time we’ve been helping both students and business owners immigrate to Canada. We started to wonder, “if we’re helping students find schools, why can’t we also help them find work”. Also why not help others coming to Canada find work as well. This is when we decided to open a recruitment business connected to Taraz, under the umbrella of Taraz Services.
Our goal here is to bring those from different cultural backgrounds together in an exchange of information and Ideas. As immigrants to Canada ourselves, we understand the value that this can bring to an organization. Why this industry? Our recruitment staff all have backgrounds in tech sectors giving them the best knowledge possible to hire the exact employee you are looking. This experience them from more than 5 years recruitment knowledge gained from companies such as Amazon.
Taraz does everything needed for both employers to be able to hire international workers, and for international workers to come to Canada. This includes all registration and legal documentation applications sent to the Canadian immigration office.
