Why We Use Offshore Recruiters?
By employing recruiters in countries like India, we can take advantage of cost savings, a larger talent pool, and round-the-clock services. This approach allows us to provide our clients with access to the best talent available, while also offering you more opportunities to find your dream job.
Establishing Trust and Credibility
We recognize that some job seekers may be hesitant to share sensitive information with recruiters calling from a different country. To help you feel confident in our recruiters’ credibility, we recommend taking the following steps:
Research VIVA USA Inc.
Visit our website and familiarize yourself with our services, client base, and company values. You’ll find that we have a strong track record of working with reputable clients, including Fortune 500 and 1000 companies.
Verify the Recruiter’s Identity
Ensure the recruiter’s email address matches our company’s domain name and check their LinkedIn profile to confirm their employment with us.
Request References
Feel free to ask our recruiters for references from candidates they have placed in the past. By reaching out to these individuals, you can gain insight into their experiences working with our recruiters.
Look for Industry Certifications
We’re proud to hold industry certifications and memberships, such as the American Staffing Association (ASA) and the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS), which demonstrate our commitment to professionalism and ethical practices.
Safeguarding Your Personal Information
At VIVA USA Inc., we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your sensitive information.
Here are some tips for safely sharing your personal details with our recruiters:
- Ask About Our Data Handling Practices
Our recruiters can provide information about our procedures for storing and handling sensitive information, as well as the security measures we employ to protect your data.
- Use Secure Communication Channels
When sharing sensitive information with our recruiters, consider using email services to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
- Provide Partial Information
You can provide only the last four digits of your Social Security Number. Our recruiters can use this to verify your consent for job submissions without requiring the complete number.
Note: The best practice is to avoid giving your complete Social Security Number (SSN) to anyone over the phone or email. The digits of your SSN are unique to you and are often used for identity verification purposes, which means they can be misused.
Conclusion
At VIVA USA Inc., we’re dedicated to providing you with a seamless job search experience. By demystifying offshore recruiting and addressing your concerns, we hope to build a foundation of trust and help you confidently explore the opportunities our global recruiters have to offer.
With the added benefits of cost efficiency, access to broader talent pools, faster hiring, and 24/7 operations, offshore recruiting is not only practical for employers but also beneficial for candidates seeking the best opportunities.
