What qualifications are needed to recruit foreigners: a comprehensive analysis
Today, with the deepening of globalization, more and more enterprises are seeking to recruit foreigners to enrich their team diversity and enhance their international competitiveness. However, recruiting foreigners is not an easy task and requires companies to have certain qualifications and follow certain processes. This article will comprehensively analyze the qualifications required for the recruitment of foreigners to help companies better introduce international talents.
1. apply for an employment permit in accordance with the law
According to the relevant provisions of the the People's Republic of China Exit and Entry Administration Law, an employer must apply for an employment permit for a foreigner, approved and obtain the "the People's Republic of China Foreigner Employment Permit" before employment. This step is the basis for the recruitment of foreigners and a necessary condition for ensuring the legal employment of enterprises. Enterprises are required to submit detailed application materials to the relevant departments, including the basic information of foreigners, educational background, work experience, etc., and go through strict examination procedures.
2. to ensure that foreigners enter with legal visas
After obtaining an employment permit, enterprises also need to ensure that foreigners they hire enter with legal visas. Foreigners should enter the country with an occupational visa (if there is a mutual visa exemption agreement, it shall be handled according to the agreement), and obtain the "Foreigner Employment Permit" and the foreigner residence certificate after entering the country before they can work in China. Enterprises are required to assist foreigners in handling relevant visa and residence procedures to ensure their legal entry and employment in China.
3. compliance with regulations on employment of foreigners
When employing foreigners, enterprises are also required to comply with a series of regulations on employment of foreigners. For example, the employer of a foreigner employed in China must be consistent with the employer indicated on his employment certificate. If a foreigner changes his employer within the area specified by the license issuing authority but is still engaged in his original occupation, he must obtain the approval of the original license issuing authority and go through the formalities for changing the employment permit. In addition, enterprises need to ensure that the foreigners they employ have the professional skills and corresponding work experience necessary for their work, and have no criminal record.
4. enterprise qualification requirements
In addition to the above requirements for foreigners, enterprises themselves need to have certain qualifications to recruit foreigners. First of all, enterprises should be established in accordance with the law, no serious violations of the record. Secondly, the positions for which foreigners are employed should have special needs, and there is a temporary shortage of suitable candidates in China, and they do not violate the relevant provisions of the state. At the same time, the wages and salaries paid by enterprises to foreigners employed shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard.
5. Special Talent Policy
It is worth noting that China has implemented a series of special policies for foreign high-end talents and foreign professionals. Foreign high-end talents refer to scientists, scientific and technological leaders and international entrepreneurs who meet the needs of China's economic and social development. Such talents can enjoy more convenient visa and residence procedures regardless of age, education and work experience. Foreign professionals refer to those who meet the guidance catalogue and job requirements of foreigners coming to China and are urgently needed for economic and social development. They need to have a bachelor's degree or above and 2 years or above of relevant work experience, and should not be more than 60 years old. However, for those who really need to meet the standards of innovative and entrepreneurial talents and professional skills, restrictions on age, education or work experience can be appropriately relaxed.
To sum up, the recruitment of foreigners requires enterprises to have employment permits, ensure that foreigners enter the country with legal visas, and comply with relevant regulations on the employment of foreigners. At the same time, enterprises themselves need to meet certain conditions in order to recruit foreigners. In the recruitment process, enterprises should fully understand and abide by relevant laws, regulations and policies to ensure the legal and compliant introduction of international talents.
