With more than 3 million Romanian citizens residing in other European Union (EU) member states (source), Romanian workers have clearly become a top alternative for organizations across Europe who are looking for qualified, reliable and adaptable talent. Integrating a successful and productive workforce involves more than just hiring, and it requires comprehensive recruitment strategies tailor-made for crossboarding talents that ensure a long-term talent engagement.
At Randstad Romania our crossboarding services have a focus on creating a seamless transition for Romanian talent working abroad alongside having an active contribution to building high performing teams.
Read more about how we can implement a crossboarding recruitment strategy to successfully integrate Romanian talent into your organization in this best practices guide.
Finding the right talent through a crossboarding recruitment strategy
Randstad Romania’s crossboarding business model enhances the need for vetted solutions when it comes to international labour recruitment. With this, each and every partnership we have is based on a business model that enables our partners to receive the best fit talents for their recruitment needs.
Our business model approach simplifies the recruitment process by having a strong focus on internal database, external search and comprehensive market knowledge and talents screening.
We maintain a constantly updated database of professionals across a variety of industries, including logistics and manufacturing. Our talent pools include talents such as warehouse workers, order pickers, forklift drivers, machine operators, CNC operators, mechanics, technicians and others.
To find the best talents we have implemented ongoing and tailor-made recruitment campaigns through which we target specific skills sets. We use multiple channels including employment sites, job portals, job fairs, social media and other sources that help us be sure we reach the best talents on the market. Alongside these, we have a comprehensive market knowledge, understanding both the needs of our partners and those of talents.
Ensuring your company has the right and fit employers is our priority, with our talent screening process being the drive force of our way of working. Beside interviews and employment history checks, we conduct skills assessments and evaluations that guarantees that only the best fit talents are presented to our partners.
The onboarding process and its contribution to talent integration and retention
An onboarding process that takes into account the specificity of crossboarding employees and ensures they quickly adapt is the key to high retention rates. Randstad Romania supports each and every partner in the process of providing the best possible experience for every employee.
The key aspects of a successful onboarding for crossboarding talents include accommodation support, training programs and cultural integration.
While relocating crossboarding workers may be seen as difficult, one detail that improves this process is providing accommodation or assistance in finding accommodation. Oftentimes it's proving to be a challenge the talents have to face, and helping and assisting with housing arrangements before arrival and having ongoing support in navigating the local housing regulations are the key points in retaining them on the job.
Ensuring training programs designed to facilitate the employees integration, such as job-specifics and technical tasks training, safety workshops or even local language training, is proven to increase employee engagement.
And while Romanian workers adapt to new cultural and social norms in an easy way, we recommend mentorship programs designed to ease the transition, which alongside an ongoing and open communication increases the overall retention rate of crossboarding employees.
Being compliant with local laws and regulations is in the best interest of all parties involved, and being open and transparent with crossboarding employees about labour laws and regulations, working hours and overall working regulations are key to build trust with your employees.
Team integration, recognition and professional development, the key success factors
Following a successful onboarding process, creating a supportive working environment is the next step in fostering productivity and reducing turnover. By building a workplace culture where Romanian employees are supported and motivated our partners are able to create a successful integration of each and every employee.
Set communication channels so that Romanian employees are able to have a full understanding of their tasks and responsibilities. If possible, have translated brochures and mentors who can guide their adaptation to company culture.
Perform regular performance reviews and acknowledge your employees achievements alongside addressing challenges. By investing in the professional development of crossboarding employees is proved to ensure a seamless integration and retention, by Romanian workers appreciating being valued by their employers.
