UK is the third most desirable job market worldwide, research finds

The UK has the third most desirable job market worldwide, with one in 10 searches for UK jobs coming from international jobseekers, a report has found.

The report on cross-border global labour mobility, conducted by Indeed Hiring Lab, part of job site Indeed.com, analysed data aggregated from 55 countries between May 2013 and April 2014. 

It found the US, India, the UK and Canada attract the greatest search interest from jobseekers globally. India is the only one of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries that is attractive to global talent. 

Jobseekers from the US, India, Ireland, France and Spain are the most likely to want to work in the UK. 

The report claims international jobseekers are attracted to the UK because of its flexible working culture; many international searches are looking for flexible jobs in the UK.

Our Advice:

From experience, we know that recruiting can be a very long process, but we would recommend spending time to produce a thorough job specification - this helps to ensure that you do find the right candidate. We also recommend that that a competitive salary is set to attract the required calibre of candidates. Consider your working hours - flexible working hours can increase your pool of candidates, as is the case with international jobseekers.

 Good luck!
