Retaining International Talent
Hiring a global professional is a significant investment. Ensuring they stay and thrive in your company is the next challenge. Recruitroo provides the insights and tools to turn a new arrival into a long-term leader.
The First 90 Days: Beyond the Office
Retention for international hires often depends on how they settle *outside* of work. If an employee is struggling with a PPS number, a bank account, or finding school places for their children, their performance will suffer. In 2026, the best employers take a "whole-life" approach to onboarding. Recruitroo’s post-arrival guides provide your new team members with the essential roadmaps for settling in Ireland or the UK, reducing their stress and allowing them to focus on their new role from day one.
Creating a Path to Residency
One of the strongest retention tools in your arsenal is a clear pathway to permanent residency. For many on Critical Skills permits, the transition to a Stamp 4 (in Ireland) after two years is a major goal. By supporting your employees through this transition and managing their permit renewals efficiently through the Recruitroo platform, you demonstrate a long-term commitment to their future. Loyalty is built when an employer acts as a partner in an employee's immigration journey.
Retention Checklist:
- Mentorship: Pair new arrivals with a local "buddy."
- Permit Renewals: Use Recruitroo to track expiries 6 months in advance.
- Relocation Support: Continue to offer advice on housing and healthcare.
- Career Growth: Ensure they have the same promotion paths as local hires.
Ongoing Compliance as a Retention Tool
Nothing causes more stress for a global worker than a lapse in their legal status. By using Recruitroo to manage all your employees' documents and permit renewals, you provide them with the ultimate peace of mind. Our automated alerts ensure that no one ever works on an expired visa, protecting both your business and the individual's right to live in the country. A compliant workplace is a secure workplace, and security is the foundation of retention.
Keep your global talent for the long term.
