For years, European businesses have been facing critical labour shortages, particularly in high-demand sectors like IT, Finance & Accounting (Registered Accountants, Controllers), Nursing, Healthcare, Maritime Industry and Aviation Engineering. Previously, Europe has looked to South Africa, Australia, Philippines, and New Zealand (just to name a few) for talent, professional exchange programs and recruitment. While these countries have historically provided valuable professionals, a new and increasingly strategic resource is emerging in a new region: Latin America.

The shift is undeniable. Latin America, and in particular, El Salvador, is emerging as a source of professional skilled talent. 

Why El Salvador?

Emerging talent source

Over the past few years, El Salvador has experienced significant infrastructure advancements in security, education, and stability whilst fostering the framework and establishment of a reliable, thriving society. The progress in educational advancement is driven by public and private sector investments in innovative and progressive higher education frameworks, emphasizing in STEM fields and bilingualism, which are now increasingly accessible to the broader population. Its evolving higher educational infrastructure is reflected in over a dozen Specialized Universities that offer degrees and bilingual studies focused on  industries with a large requirement for talent across the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Europe as a whole. 

This emergence presents a compelling opportunity for businesses seeking fluent English speaking and/or bilingual (Spanish) qualified, committed professionals in specialized sectors in areas such as finance, accountancy & control,  nursing, IT, aviation engineering, maritime as well as industrial trades workforce—including upholstery, welding, carpentry.

The Netherlands and the UK  are  clear examples of  countries where English speaking talent that meets immigration salary thresholds are in high demand and can be a great asset.

Knowledge Exchange for a ‘defined period’

As El Salvador's global standing strengthens, its skilled workforce is increasingly recognized as a valuable resource. While established intermobility labour frameworks for a ‘defined period’ exist within the Americas and Canada, similar structures are steadily developing in Europe with a focus on Spain, Italy, Germany, Ireland, UK and now the Netherlands. 

This knowledge exchange for a defined period is a win-win for El Salvador and the hosting country alike. It involves professionals working abroad either in their ‘search year’(‘zoekjaar’) after graduating from a Dutch or EU University or as highly skilled migrants working abroad for a defined period gaining international work and cultural experience, whilst filling the labour shortage gaps of the host country before returning to their home country (usually after 5 years) to share their newly acquired knowledge. 

This emergence presents a compelling opportunity for businesses in the UK, Netherlands and other European countries seeking highly qualified, committed bilingual (English-Spanish) professionals in specialized sectors. 

The Netherlands is a clear example of a country that could benefit from this emerging trend. Globalize HR, can help your company’s recruitment needs.
