International recruitment – an option for island employers

Are you interested in how attracting international talent could complement local recruitment and help fill specific roles?

Not sure where to start? This free online session will help employers understand what's involved, hear from businesses already using this approach, and learn about the support available.

We've been working with the Scottish Government and the Scottish Islands Federation (SIF) as part of the National Islands Plan to raise awareness of Scotland's Migration Service and the support available to businesses, employers and investors across Scotland's islands.

During the session, you will:

  • Hear directly from island employers who have successfully recruited international staff.

  • Find out about the practical, free support available through Scotland's Migration Service.

  • Discuss the workforce and recruitment challenges affecting island businesses and communities.

  • Share your views on the barriers and opportunities around international recruitment.

  • Help shape how Scotland's Migration Service can better support the needs of island employers.
