The Reality of International Recruitment: What Actually Makes It Work w/ Mari Vargas, Beyond Gravity

What makes a great international recruiter? Spoiler alert: it's not closing 100% of roles in a month. In this episode, I sit down with Mari Vargas, Recruitment manager at Beyond Gravity, to talk about the reality of international recruitment — from finding the right candidates to making sure they actually succeed after moving. Mari shares: → The intrinsic qualities every great recruiter must have (and why closing fast isn't one of them) → Why having a solid relocation partner is non-negotiable for compliance → The homework candidates must do before moving — because if they don't research and understand what they're signing up for, even the best pitch about Portugal won't save the hire. If you're in recruitment, hiring internationally, or considering relocating for a job — this conversation is packed with practical insights you won't find anywhere else.
