- Experience requirements
- Practical skills
- Qualifications
- Languages
- Employment location
- Contract type
- Compensation
- Working schedules
- Target start dates
2. Develop the Candidate Profile

5. Candidate Interviews
Initial interviews can help establish whether the candidate understands and matches the opportunity.

7. Employer Selection
Employers evaluate shortlisted candidates and make final hiring decisions.
8. Offer and Candidate Coordination
Balkans Recruitment can support communication during the offer and pre-employment stages within the agreed recruitment scope.

By expanding recruitment into Balkan countries, companies can potentially access larger pools of professional, skilled, and general workforce candidates.
International recruitment should still be based on realistic candidate availability, employment conditions, immigration requirements, and destination-country regulations.
Addressing Skills Shortages
Some employers face shortages not simply in worker numbers but in specific technical capabilities.
Skilled workforce recruitment can focus on candidates with particular:
- Trade skills
- Technical backgrounds
- Vocational qualifications
- Certifications
- Equipment experience
- Industry experience
Targeted sourcing helps employers concentrate recruitment activity on candidates whose backgrounds are relevant to the vacancy.

The Balkan region includes diverse labor markets with candidates across professional, skilled, technical, operational, and general workforce occupations.
Balkans Recruitment provides employers with a structured recruitment channel for accessing candidates from this region.
Every candidate should still be assessed individually against the requirements of the vacancy.

A recruitment agency can provide additional capacity for:
- Candidate sourcing
- Advertising
