What does your open position really cost?
Find out for free in 20 minutes whether international recruitment is a viable solution.
Has a job opening at your company been unfilled for weeks or months due to a staffing shortage? If so, it usually costs more than just time. Colleagues have to take on extra work, projects are delayed, and growth is put on hold because the right people aren't available.
Is international talent the solution for your business?
Labor Shortage
Why is that job opening still open?
When it is difficult to find suitable candidates in the Belgian job market, international recruitment can be a solution. But not every job opening is suitable for this approach.
Meanwhile, the search continues. External resources will need to be deployed for a longer period. The pressure on the team remains.
That's why Link2Europe offers a free international feasibility assessment. No sales pitch—just an honest assessment based on your own job posting.
What do we look at during the scan?
We always start with a specific job opening within your organization. During the interview about 20 minutes Topics covered include:
- How long the position has been open and why it’s been difficult to fill
- What qualifications, experience, and education are required
- Which requirements are truly necessary, and where flexibility is possible
- Language Requirements, Salary, and Employment Conditions
- The potential pool of candidates and the practical feasibility
- Legal considerations, housing, transportation, and onboarding, as applicable
So we’re not just looking to see if there are any candidates out there. We want to know if international recruitment for your specific job opening is feasible.
After the scan, you'll know right away where you stand
RECOMMENDATION
MEANING
International recruitment appears feasible. There are enough positive factors to consider taking concrete next steps.
It may be feasible, but a number of conditions need to be reviewed or adjusted first.
For this job opening, international recruitment does not seem feasible at this time.
Even a "red" recommendation provides valuable information. There is little point in launching an international project if the initial conditions do not align with the market.
You will always receive specific recommendations for next steps. For example: further investigating the candidate market, reevaluating certain job requirements, or scheduling a second interview with an in-house expert. Sometimes the recommendation is that international recruitment for this position isn’t the best approach right now. That, too, is clarity.
Why conduct a feasibility assessment instead of starting the process right away?
Many companies only begin recruiting internationally when the need is already urgent. But recruiting internationally only makes sense if a job opening is sufficiently attractive and practically feasible.
For more than 15 years, Link2Europe has been recruiting international talent for Belgian companies in sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, construction, logistics, and food. We use that experience to provide a realistic assessment within 20 minutes—no guesswork involved.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Feasibility Assessment
No. You do not need to be a customer, and you are not committing to any follow-up process.
Please allow about 20 minutes, either by phone or video call. We'll discuss one specific job opening.
Then you'll know right away. There's no point in looking internationally if the terms don't match the market: a "red" recommendation will save you time and money.
This is especially true for in-demand occupations in industry, manufacturing, engineering, construction, logistics, food service, and seasonal work—sectors where local candidates are scarce.
Yes. For temporary spikes in demand—for example, in the food industry, agriculture, or logistics—we assess during the scan whether international seasonal workers are a viable option.
Together, we'll discuss a possible next steps: from the candidate pool to practical arrangements such as housing and onboarding.
