On May 6th, “The Employer Manual: Things To Know When Hiring Internationals” authored by Expertise in Labour Mobility’s Nannette Ripmeester and Melanie Siegfried, was published on the ErasmusCareers website.

In this Employer Manual, the relationship between the competences acquired by students through international mobility experiences and what employers are actively seeking in potential hires is showcased. The Erasmus Careers consortium aimed to find out if participating in international mobility programmes as a student increases the chances of getting hired in today’s job market. The findings underscore a crucial point: merely mentioning one’s study abroad experience does not boost job prospects. It is all about strategically leveraging and showcasing these experiences to captivate prospective employers. This manual is designed to empower both employers and prospective employees to recognise, appreciate, and capitalise on the competences gained through international mobility.
