How to recruit if I work with an International PEO?

Currently, the number of available experienced talent, particularly in the Healthcare and IT industry, is too few to fill in the rising demand.

For the Healthcare sector, according to consultancy group Mercer, by 2025, the U.S. will likely face a shortage of 446,300 Home health aides, 95,000 Nursing assistants, 98,700 Medical and lab technologists and technicians and 29,400 Nurse practitioners. The challenge of solving the in-house skill gap problem can be easily remedied by remote staffing.

Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) provide services to 173,000 small and mid-sized businesses, employing 4 million people. There are 487 PEOs in the United States. The 4 million worksite employees were paid $216 billion in 2020. The total employment represented by the PEO industry is roughly the same as the combined number of employees for Walmart (United States only), Amazon, Kroger, and Home Depot. (NAPEO)

By being an Employer of Record (EOR) of global talent, Offshore PEOs, called International Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs), can help businesses who want to expand overseas.

International PEOs have required expertise in local employment laws and ensure local compliance but provide the same functions such as handling employee contributions and benefits, payroll management, insurance, and compliance needs, and benefits such as overhead reduction, efficiency, and decreased costs.

Here are ways to recruit global talent If you work with an International PEO:

Bulk Hiring

Bulk or group hiring when acquiring global talent. This is useful for businesses with project-based models wherein a dedicated team assigned handles the project from project management, updates to implementation, and maintenance, at a fixed timeline. This model requires, especially in technical functions, a team of remote professionals to handle projects from start to finish.

Bulk hiring lessens payroll, tax and overhead costs processed by International PEOs when hiring individually.

Executive Search

Offshore staffing providers let you find and hire talent with the right experience, specialized skills, and technical expertise. This is highly important in executive roles and functions.
