Recruiting

Finding Talent is a television-style narrative that uses a storytelling approach to present the hiring challenges faced by employers and the cultural biases they must overcome to attract and recruit skilled immigrants. The video touches on the business case for companies to leverage the talents of skilled immigrants.

The story is of a company that loses a key project manager at a time when they have secured a lucrative new contract but are facing challenging delivery dates. Conventional sources to recruit a replacement for their high-caliber employee would involve trying to poach a replacement from their competitors. Doing so could mean missing the project deadline. When the company decides to broaden their recruitment strategy to include skilled immigrants to fill the gap, the story exposes unique challenges faced by employers.
