Ciao Employer!
Want to grow your business? Are you struggling to find the needed skills your company needs to grow and flourish?
Scarcity on the regional labor market is a serious challenge: shortages in number of people and skills cause long-term unfilled vacancies.
We at it-ER share your concerns regarding growth. If unaddressed, these talent risks will also complicate the required transitions due to globalization, digitization, climate change, urbanization and flexibility on the labour market.
Solutions to talent shortages
No doubt, your company - like other partners in the area - is fully committed to close the gap on the labour market by:
- aligning education with your skills needs
- activating un(der)used resources: guiding the unemployed or part-time employed to work.
- introducing life long learning in the workforce.
But all the above take time when in the meantime, attracting talent from abroad may help bridge your talent gaps right now.
Benefits of hiring foreign talents
The benefits of hiring foreign talents:
- Diverse teams perform better and are more innovative
- Finding talent that has the skill set your company needs, if it cannot be found in the local market
- Opening up your company to the world enhancing your internationalization
- Benefits to the local economy: added tax revenue, consuming local goods & services, indirect employment of locals and thus welfare for the whole region
- Happy foreign talent attracts more foreign talent to the region as ambassadors
And it is a lot easier than you think!
Attracting international talent
Attracting and onboarding international talent is not easy. Local companies are often less known internationally and do not have the channels to reach the talent they want to hire, while onboarding a non-local talent requires more resources and knowledge than what companies are used to.
This is where we can help you and your business! ART-ER and partners offer a number of services to help attract and retain international talent to the Emilia-Romagna region and thus help its economic growth.
it-ER: International Talent Emilia-Romagna
it-ER has the experience, services and competence to support your journey and can be an integrated partner and resource to all companies seeking global talent as the solution to your recruitment needs.
it-ER Careers
One of the services provided for is “it-ER Careers”, an initiative to create talent pools for the most wanted profiles, a pool of candidates bigger than each and every company could create on its own.
“it-ER Careers” promotes Emilia-Romagna as an attractive region amongst specific international talent, people with the skills and experience that your company needs. Skills that are not available (enough) on the regional labour market.
Collaborative talent attraction
Unique to the approach is the collaborative aspect. Employers, ART-ER Attractiveness Research Territory and regional stakeholders join forces to attract talent under the single brand of ‘It-ER Careers’. An international recruitment campaign will promote the region as a great place to work and live in with job openings for internationals (foreign people or Italians living abroad). The initiative builds on the 2021 project set out to attract software developers. Over 320 candidates were pre-selected for over 15 partner companies in the region.
Are you looking for professionals in Mechanics & Automotive, Life Sciences & Health, Digital & Big Data or the Green Economy? The program is now open for employers from Emilia-Romagna looking for talent with skill sets within these industries.
We are looking forward to attracting talent into the region together with the businesses that help make it thrive!
