Hiring for any open positions can be a challenge. Factors that impact the hiring process include candidate availability, internal candidate interest and availability, market conditions, and time limit. These and other factors must be considered when designing a hiring process appropriate for international endeavors.

All are highly specialized positions that require at least ten years' experience, including international experience, and are highly compensated. Because these can be difficult positions to fill, one option is the use of external recruiting services.
