New Digital Tools to Recruit International Talents

When Sophie Lost Her Perfect Candidate


Sophie had been looking for months.

The perfect profile, bilingual, expert in sustainable finance, and ready to relocate to Paris.

When she finally found Diego, a talented professional based in Buenos Aires, she thought the hardest part was over.

But weeks passed. Endless emails. Time zone issues. Visa paperwork dragging on.

And suddenly… Diego declined. Another company had moved faster.

That day, Sophie understood something: in international recruitment, speed and flexibility are not just advantages. They are survival skills
