Energy Transition Companies... How to increase Your Talent Pool by 400%

One word... Sponsorship.

?

In the past two decades, I have seen first-hand the advantage of opening your talent pool by sponsoring international candidates. For many of our clients, it has increased their talent pool by over 400%. Why international candidates? Well one reason is they are much more likely to move or relocate for a role compared to domestic counterparts. Here are three more reasons why offering sponsorships can give your business a competitive edge: 1. Financial Impact is a net positive

• Offset Sponsorship Costs: Initial sponsorship and visa costs are often offset by the savings in lower salary expectations.
• High Return on Investment: International candidates bring unique skills, qualifications and deeper sector specialism that can drive significant value for your company.

2. Competitive Advantage through a Diverse Talent Pool

• Expanded Candidate Search: Offering sponsorship allows access to a vast, global pool of candidates, increasing the chances of finding the perfect fit.
• Access to Specialised Talent: The renewable energy sector is highly specialised; international talent can fill critical roles that may be hard to source locally.
• Global Market Understanding: A diverse workforce helps your company better understand and cater to a global market, ensuring more comprehensive and effective solutions and services.

3. Enhanced Employer Reputation

• Attractive Employer: Sponsoring demonstrates a commitment to diversity and investment in top talent, making your company more appealing to job seekers.
• Improved Market Standing: Companies that offer sponsorship are often viewed as progressive and supportive, enhancing their reputation in the job market.
• Higher Retention Rates: An attractive employer brand can lead to better retention rates and a more motivated workforce. Sponsored candidates are also less likely to be poached by your competitors.
