Recruiting specialized workers for ‘Old World’ countries in Europe
Recruiting specialized workers for “Old World” countries is a part of a context in which labor migration still encounters cultural, linguistic, and bureaucratic obstacles that make it even more difficult to bring together job supply and demand in an increasingly global market. There is a huge, unexpressed demand in destination countries for numerous jobs that do not require a high level of instruction. As a result, there is a risk, on one hand, of losing ancient trades (i.e., carpenter) and, on the other, of being unable to satisfy essential needs such as healthcare and housing (think of the chronic need for nurses and skilled workers in these countries).
Foreign labor is therefore a strategic factor that greatly contributes to the economic development of European countries. There are several critical aspects, however, such as verifying and ensuring legal entry and residence in destination countries, guaranteeing worker qualifications, and the worker’s actual ability to integrate within the host country and to overcome inevitable cultural and language barriers.
The leader - Obiettivo Lavoro
Obiettivo Lavoro -- Italy’s largest human resources management group – has developed a model for recruiting and managing foreign workers that ensures the respect and full integration of migrant workers and provides economic, social, and ethical benefits to companies. Obiettivo Lavoro has therefore chosen to affirm its social identity through a strong ethical philosophy and to make the ethical recruitment and management of specialized workers for Italy an element of distinction.
The group is present throughout Italy and also works through 5 companies and 12 branch offices abroad:
Rumania, Slovak Republic, Poland, Brazil, Peru. In 2006, Obiettivo
