How should Multinational Companies recruit in Iran Market

Recruiting in a country with limited presence of international companies has been always tough for Multinational companies who come to Iran. Iran is a big country with large number of young educated and talented people (As of 2013, 4.5 million students are enrolled in universities, out of a total population of 75 million. Iranian universities churn out almost 750,000 skilled graduates annually) however, being educated is only one of the factors for management positions in Iran. Multinational companies look for many factors based on their assessment structures.

As such to recruit from Iran Job Market, multinational companies have three options as below;

1. Bringing Iranians who already work and live abroad. 

There are many of Iranians who are studying or working in other countries. Finding students in master and phd level with international exposure but without work experience, is more easy for companies who look for talents to recruit for non-management levels, this population which is not small have not yet entered the job market and they have not build a high expectations, so they would be thinking to go back and work in their own country.

But if you go to Iranian professionals who are working in other countries then it would be tough and expensive to make them come back to their country, they have high expectations and you should be prepared for it, unless they personally would like to come back to their own country.

2. Recruiting from Multinational talent pool in Iran

This is another option you can consider, but this is only disturbing the balance of salary and compensation rules of the market all the times, raising it more often than international norms. Consider there are few good Head of HR in the market. The number is less than the real need of the companies. Then they change their job more often because they are offered more competitive package all the times. It also causes the companies to review their package on regular basis to retain their good staff. 

 3. Rely on local pool with good talent

Here you have large number of employees waiting for you to find them. They lack international background but they have the education and have local experience. They may lack English Language proficiency as you like but they are ready to improve fast. They may have more local experience than the others but very lower expectations. It is simple to recruit them for entry management, train them based on your needs and develop them for higher positions. So if you want to see which one suits you, review your strategic plans and company budget. Then ask this from your recruiter source.

Good Luck

What Is Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with protecting people from the effects of adverse environmental effects, such as pollution, as well as improving environmental quality. Environmental engineers work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The practice of environmental engineering dates back to the dawn of civilization. Ever since groups of people began living in semi-permanent settlements, they have had to deal with the challenges of providing clean water and disposing of solid waste and sewage. With the growth of cities and the advent of large-scale farming and manufacturing, people have also had to worry about air quality and soil contamination.

The first environmental engineer is said to have been Joseph Bazalgette. According to an article in the Postgraduate Medical Journal, Bazalgette oversaw the construction of the first large-scale municipal sanitary sewer system in London in the mid-19th century. This was prompted by a series of cholera epidemics, as well as a persistent unbearable stench, that were attributed to the discharge of raw sewage into the Thames River, which was also the main source of drinking water for the city. This "great stink," which was so noxious that it caused Parliament to evacuate Westminster, gave then-Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli grounds to ask for 3.5 million pounds to improve the city's sewage disposal system.
