How much of a barrier are languages to Executive Search and Selection? - Dudley Child Executive Recruitment

Most executive search and selection firm’s claim they operate on an international basis, what this ultimately means is that they source executives from English speaking countries including the USA and Australia.  This means that exceptional candidates from other parts of the world may be by-passed because of perceived language barriers.

Language barriers are still present between English speaking countries; this can be experienced frequently in a recruitment situation.  When Executive Search firms approach candidates in the USA or Australia, simple tasks including explaining the role of the job can be lost in translation between the recruiter and candidate as many recruitment companies forget about the words they are using to explain the role.

Although English is classed as the first language of business, more and more people are choosing to study languages with Spanish and Mandarin becoming increasingly popular.  In order to ensure that the right candidate is sourced for the role is may be important to consider applications outside of the UK.
