Simple Solution For Romania’s Labour Crisis

The people of Romania are dealing with a crippling labour shortage that’s throttling long term economic growth. There’s a simple solution for Romania’s labour crisis — import more talented workers who have the skills needed to fill in vacant job postings.

At Joblio, we’re developing an innovative technology platform to help Romanian business owners do exactly that. Here’s how Romania can supercharge its growth by recruiting migrant labourers who are ready and willing to get the job done.

Romania Needs Talented Workers

There’s no denying that Romania is struggling with a labour shortage right now. Romanian employers are currently looking for workers in agricultural sectors like vegetable harvesting and fish & forestry services. Many others are looking for workers in the machine trades or want to hire additional employees for structural work like painting and tiling. More workers are needed in virtually every vital Romanian industry.

Not only is Romania struggling to attract new workers, but its current workforce is in dire need of upskilling, according to a report from the Brookings Institute. Romania will fail to achieve its true economic potential without a desperately needed injection of talented human capital. That may not be possible without ample outsourcing.

The solution is simple: migrant labourers from every corner of the world are ready and willing to work in Romania. Already, Romania has benefited tremendously from foreign nationals who have filled labour shortages in the construction industry. Outsourcing employees has already driven tremendous growth in vital industries like construction.

Local reports also indicate that employers are very satisfied with the work ethic and resiliency of the migrant labourers who have helped pull them out of a rut. Globalization and labour exploitation don’t have to mix anymore thanks to new ethical hiring solutions.

“The people of Romania are in serious need of additional workers,” notes Joblio CEO Jon Purizhansky. “Luckily, our platform can help them solve this labour crisis.”

It’s time to go a step further and embrace migrant labourers in a myriad of Romanian industries that are struggling to make ends meet. Right now, Romanian businesses have to engage in the costly and time-consuming process of finding foreign workers by themselves and soliciting government approval for a travel visa. Thanks to Joblio, that’s about to become much easier and more affordable than ever before.

Joblio Is The Solution To Romania’s Labour Shortage

Joblio is already reshaping the industry of global labour migration. By providing transparency and ethical treatment to migrant labourers while letting employers tap into a vast supply of talented workers, Joblio ensures workers can quickly and smoothly move to where they’re needed at an affordable cost.

Romanian employers looking for workers to manage bricklaying, electrical work, or house painting can easily find qualified candidates with Joblio’s help. Thanks to Joblio’s massive talent pool, Romanian employers will always have many skilled migrants to choose from.

By speeding up the visa onboarding process with our expertise, we guarantee a smooth and reliable flow of talented workers to countries like Romania that are experiencing labour shortages. By investing in the physical and mental wellbeing of migrants, we ensure human rights are never thrown by the wayside in the rush toward profits.

Joblio also reduces costly employee turnover that forces businesses to invest over and over in lackluster recruitment. Romanian businesses that outsource with Joblio can save huge sums of money in the long term with more effective recruitment cycles.

“Thanks to the Joblio platform, migrants secure well-paying jobs and employers save huge sums of money by avoiding costly churn,” says Jon Purizhansky. “The end result is that everybody wins!”

How Joblio Works For Migrants & Employers

Joblio works by providing a technological platform that’s easy for both migrants and employers to use. Migrants are presented with accurate and fair job opportunities, while Romanian employers can scour a list of talented candidates who may have the skills they need. All the while, cash remittances to the migrant’s home countries are increasing, ensuring social mobility is being enhanced around the world.

Countries recruiting foreign workers are pulling ahead of those dealing with domestic labour shortages. Failing to take advantage of the benefits of outsourcing will only further harm the Romanian economy. It’s time to fill the Romanian labour shortage in construction and agricultural trades with the help of the Joblio platform.

Joblio already has plentiful experience filling labour shortages around the globe. Whether it’s construction, transportation, agriculture, or a litany of other industries, Joblio can pair Romanian businesses up with talented migrants who are eager to get to work. By cracking down on human rights abuses and providing an avenue for legal immigration, the Joblio platform also ensures that the wellbeing of people is always the top priority.

Joblio’s ACE Program Is Revolutionizing Migrant Assimilation

Labor shortages around the world are putting a serious strain on supply chains and companies of all sizes. Migrant laborers are being called upon to solve these shortages, yet high churn rates mean that employers are constantly seeking new migrant laborers who are costly to import, train, and acclimate to local norms.

A more efficient way to recruit, train, and retain talented migrant laborers is needed. Investing in migrant communities is the answer. Through its proprietary Applicant Concierge Experience (ACE) program, Joblio is revolutionizing migrant assimilation.

Migration Made Easy

Uprooting yourself in order to move halfway around the world for a new job opportunity has never been easy. This lengthy process often involves learning a new language, familiarizing yourself with new cultural customs, and establishing a daily routine in a strange new home. Luckily, the Applicant Concierge Experience is revolutionizing assimilation by equipping migrants with the skills they need to succeed in their host countries.

The ACE program is focused on pre-departure and post-arrival community management. This means that migrant laborers begin acclimating to their new homes before they even leave their origin countries. It also ensures they receive continuous support once they land in their new home and face unexpected challenges.

The ACE program begins with Joblio’s team of global ambassadors, who scour the globe in search of the most talented migrant laborers. After recruiting these migrants and ensuring their visas and other documents are in order, the ACE program focuses on ensuring cultural enrichment and language support while ensuring the key human needs of migrants are met.

How The Ace Program Works

We can’t expect migrants to solve our labour shortages unless they’re treated with respect and dignity. This is why the ACE program thoroughly inspects migrant housing to ensure it’s up to standards before any migrants begin living there. Our welcome program also ensures that migrants have a helping hand to rely on when they land in their new host country for the first time.

Jon Purizhansky: The ACE program then pivots to building solidarity between the actual migrants themselves. This involves free language services and cultural enrichment so that migrants become acclimated to the food and norms of their new homes. It allows diverse migrants ranging from Nigeria to Uzbekistan to speak with one another in a common language they’re learning together in order to secure better job opportunities and higher wages.

Members of the ACE program live together, learn together, and share meals together with an ACE-provided chef with culinary expertise. When migrants are happy and healthy together, they’re less likely to abandon their job prospects and force employers to embark upon another costly recruitment campaign. It also diminishes human rights abuses which are tragically common in the migrant labor industry.

Investing In Our Mutual Future

It can take up to 12 months to recruit a migrant laborer. With up to 70 percent of migrant laborers eventually leaving their jobs, contributing to incredibly costly industry churn, employers are struggling to keep positions manned by competent workers. The ACE program solves this crisis by ensuring migrants are treated right and stick around for the long haul.

“The cost of employee turnover is immense,” notes Joblio CEO Jon Purizhansky. “Companies that retain their migrant laborers with better treatment will save huge sums of money in the long run while cracking down on unethical abuses.”

An established system that provides support in both the pre-departure and post-arrival periods is essential for successful assimilation. Adequate housing, appetizing meals, language services, and professional training all go a long way toward cultivating a talented and loyal workforce. All of this is only possible through Joblio’s proprietary ACE program, which is quickly becoming the global standard for human rights protections.

“It’s always worth investing in migrant community management,” says Jon Purizhansky. “When you treat migrant laborers with dignity and respect, they work harder than ever before and ensure that everybody prospers.”

Joblio understands that positive outcomes can only be derived by investing in the wellbeing of the same migrant communities who will be working on our behalf.

Demand Ethical Recruiting Now: Integrating Refugees into the Global Community

Last year the world watched in horror as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in mere weeks. While the images of refugees are both heart-wrenching and infuriating, for those who survive this gauntlet, there are hosts of parasites and middlemen who wait to take advantage of their desperate status.

I was a refugee and later, a migrant worker, having fled my home country as a boy. I lived in Austria and Italy and can testify first hand to the dangers of refugee life and of the opportunists who entrap and enslave vulnerable people. After immigrating to America, I worked to become a lawyer, an activist, a father, and an entrepreneur.

Wherever migrants or refugees can be found, corrupt practices exist that prey upon these vulnerable people. Private missions often incur huge rescue costs, and refugees often remain dislocated without opportunity to work and make the money that sets them on a new path of independence. Consider what it might mean for refugees to be placed in regions in grave need of workers, enabling them to start over while breathing new economic life into the countries and communities that accept them.

Vulnerable populations seldom possess the political or economic power they need to gain a better lot in life. Unstable economies, security, and economic disenfranchisement are leading causes of radicalization, criminal activities, smuggling, and warfare.

It is essential to acknowledge that across the developing world, populations are reaching increased longevity, leading to critical shortages of young workers that fuel economic growth. According to the United Nations, “one in six people in the world will be aged 65 years or over” by 2050. Germany, The United States, Japan, and many other major economies will need young workers to keep up with demand for products and services. At this moment, we have an opportunity to address both concerns. If global migrants and refugees are to travel around the world to solve labor shortages, first-world nations must step up and take responsibility to hold employers accountable and demand ethical practices to protect workers.

Political leaders, titans of business, and international humanitarian groups need to acknowledge the urgency of this crisis and of this opportunity to act. We must cultivate technology that generates a seismic social impact and develops global infrastructure to help them. When governments, businesses, and technological innovators fail to step up and address social problems, the most vulnerable suffer when their plight is monetized by wealthy actors who seek to profit from chaos.

Currently, a lack of tools for coordinating the global movement of people is leading to serious abuses and corruption in the evacuation and resettlement of refugees. Standardization is sorely needed across the world to ensure optimal outcomes. We already know that technology can make an important social impact, but only if it is wielded by governments and groups with ethical motivations.

We must reject efforts to cash in on the suffering of migrants, refugees, and vulnerable persons. It’s not enough to simply understand the migrant community — we all need to lend a helping hand as well. We should loudly support current resettlement efforts and help migrants find affordable housing and careers as soon as possible. We need to commandeer technology, and the power of the globe, to streamline and permanently digitize the process of relocating and integrating migrants.

While we as individuals cannot help the masses of jobless, displaced, or hungry people, there is something we can do — and demand as global citizens — that has a far-reaching impact on people and peace as a whole.

  • We can establish and implement ethical practices for hiring transitory workers.
    ● We can facilitate arrangements with governments and with employers to provide them with the workers they need.
    ● We can use technology to create a transparent process and provide support vehicles that benefit both the employer and the employee.

This is where our culture’s righteousness can be leveraged for real change and action. Commit to ensuring that refugees, migrants, and other vulnerable workers can enjoy the rights they deserve without being exploited by those who seek to profit from their situation. With a global agenda to help vulnerable persons on the move, we can radically defy corruption and prioritize the upholding of human rights around the world. Ethical recruiting is the solution and we make that a reality by building relationships with governments and businesses, and transparency in connecting skilled workers to employers in need of worker.

Joblio Partners With HR Agencies To Bridge the Gap During Global Labour Crisis

HR agencies across the world have ample access to qualified workers but not enough lead generation to ensure they’re hired. By partnering up with the Joblio platform, HR agencies can easily connect domestic job-seekers with countries recruiting foreign workers, turning a tidy profit all the while.

Looking for workers? Want to pair job-seekers up with the best possible opportunities? The Joblio Global Ambassador Program allows HR agencies looking for clients in Europe to provide better outcomes than ever before.

Joblio Explains: The Benefits of Labour Import

There’s no denying that outsourcing and labour importation is a critical part of the modern economy. Everything from data entry work and virtual assistants to hiring truck drivers or finding bus drivers can be expedited by outsourcing employees or importing them from overseas. That’s easier said than done, however, especially without the help of experts at Joblio.

“By joining Joblio’s Global Ambassador Program, HR agencies can provide us with vetted employees to help us fill critical labour shortages around the world. In return, they can create a new revenue stream through contracts with Joblio,” notes CEO Jon Purizhansky.

European enterprises recruiting foreign workers want to ensure that migrant labourers are vetted before they arrive. By partnering up with local HR agencies across the globe, Joblio ensures a thorough vetting process. Shipyards, construction companies, food processing plants, and transportation companies looking for workers abroad  can thus rest assured that they’re welcoming qualified workers who can seriously contribute to global economic growth.

As business process outsourcing (BPO) becomes more common, the Joblio Global Ambassador Program will allow HR agencies in countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines to achieve new levels of staff outsourcing at scale. Companies in Poland, Romania, Germany and the UK, that are looking for workers fill in their labour shortages, ensuring a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

Looking For Clients? Join The Joblio Global Ambassador Program

HR experts that have to focus efforts on lead generation of prospects can now concentrate their efforts on what they do best: talent acquisition, while dramatically improving their bottom lines by partnering with Joblio. This is achieved through the Joblio revenue sharing model; every time that Joblio ensures a migrant labourer is successfully hired abroad, the platform receives a fee that’s paid by the employer during the whole employment lifespan of the worker.

HR partners that join the Global Ambassador Program gain access to these lucrative fees whenever they fill a position. Joblio’s revenue sharing model ensures that HR agencies which fill the most positions end up reaping the largest profits.

“The HR agencies which join our Global Ambassador Program enjoy the potential to stand out in the competitive market of talent acquisition by filling in critical labour shortages around the world,” says CEO Jon Purizhansky. “By fostering a more prosperous global economy, we all win.”

For too long, globalisation and labour exploitation have gone hand-in-hand. With the help of the Joblio platform, that’s starting to change with an unprecedented focus on the wellbeing of migrant labourers. HR firms already know the benefits of outsourcing, but by partnering with Joblio they can spread the good news to countless companies and consumers across the globe, all while expanding their business.

Supplying Vetted Workers Leads To Greater Profits

The simple equation for HR agencies to understand is that supplying qualified, vetted workers through the Joblio Global Ambassador Program leads to great profits. For every qualified candidate that a GAP partner provides, they’ll receive a hefty fee to facilitate future hirings. All the while, the GAP program serves the global economy by avoiding painful labour shortages that lea to supply crises.

Contact Joblio today to become part of an exciting future where the well being of migrant workers is always prioritised.

International Migrant’s Day

On December 18th, we celebrated International Migrant’s Day, a holiday established by the UN that reminds us of the vital role that migrants play when it comes to fostering economic growth. With migrants now composing 3.6 percent of the global population, it’s more important than ever before to highlight the hard work and invaluable labour they provide to so many firms.

As former Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon reminds us, “migration is an expression of the human aspiration for dignity, safety and a better future. It is part of the social fabric, part of our very make-up as a human family.” As we head into the new year, I know every member of the Joblio team will strive for more dignified, safe, and productive migrant policies.

In 2015 alone, migrants contributed roughly $6.7 trillion to the global economy, nearly 10% of the worldwide GDP that year. I’m confident that number will continue to climb as Joblio confidently strives toward a more transparent, ethical, and efficient future for all workers.

To the countless migrants around the world who continue working tirelessly toward a brighter future, I can only say thank you – Joblio is deeply grateful for your courage, perseverance, and bold commitment to creating a better tomorrow.

Migration is an expression of the human aspiration for dignity, safety and a better future. It is part of the social fabric, part of our very make-up as a human family.” – Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, UN PRESS RELEASE

Thank you from the Joblio Team

We wanted to thank our community for continued support of Joblio and human rights around the world. Joblio’s mission to set a new global standard in the ethical and efficient relocation of global migrant workers wouldn’t be possible without your contributions.

Over the past year, we’ve achieved a number of milestones worth celebrating. In addition to closing a $4 million seed round in funding, the Joblio team has released a Know Your Rights guidebook for migrant labourers everywhere. We have also released an introductory video to ensure the Joblio Standard gains fast recognition around the globe.

Jon Purizhansky:  The Joblio team has been growing at a dizzying pace. This past year, we were eager to welcome Stephen Schueler, CEO of Enerjen Capital, to our valued board of advisors.  We were also thrilled to announce that Rebecca Churchill, president and CEO of Churchill Communications & Marketing, has joined our roster of international advisors. These experts will provide invaluable guidance as we move forward and make the world a better place.

2021 also saw Joblio expand into the international arena like never before. In addition to presenting at the prestigious Investment in Sustainable Development Conference hosted by the CC Forum in Cote d’Azu, we also unveiled a strategic partnership with ICEJ to champion human rights. With our new friends at the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, we’ll better serve vulnerable populations who are on the move in search of work across the world.

All the while, we’ve been raising awareness about the plight of migrant labourers everywhere. By disseminating authoritative guidance on community management for migrant workers and recognizing the humanity of migrants, we’ve developed a popular blog to build our platform’s brand.

After being honored by the Abrahamic Business Circle earlier this year, we’ve dedicated myself to building the best organization possible. What we quickly realized is that the talents and insights of our international partners and Joblio team members are an endless source of innovation that can help us achieve our mutual goals. we’d like to sincerely thank each and every one of you.

We’re only just getting started – as Thanksgiving and the 2022 New Year approach, the Joblio team will be hard at work delivering sorely needed reform to the global migrant labour industry. We wish you the happiest of holidays and warm encouragement as we head into a cold winter.

Hiring Migrant Labourers During Global Pandemic

Few sectors have been as severely disrupted by the ongoing spread of COVID-19 as the global migrant labour industry. Vaccination requirements, travel restrictions, quarantine measures, and other developments have made life more difficult than ever for millions of migrant labourers around the globe. Employers have gained new responsibilities in the midst of this public health crisis, too. Successfully managing ethical issues in the recruitment process is more difficult than ever before.

Companies offering employment to migrant labourers must ensure the health and well-being of workers isn’t left by the wayside. Figuring out the rules and requirements of hiring during a pandemic is the first step – enlisting the help of technological platforms like Joblio is the second.

Dealing with labour shortages

Employers around the globe are grappling with labour shortages that frustrate productivity and lead to an inability to meet consumer demand. Reports from the NFU indicate that the agricultural sector in particular is suffering from a lack of qualified workers. This is disastrous for long-term growth; “migrant labourers play a pivotal role in the development of the global economy,” global relocation expert Jon Purizhansky notes.

Private companies must understand that the rules for importing labourers from abroad have changed and will continue to evolve in the wake of COVID-19’s spread. In nations such as the UK, foreign nationals are subject to national restrictions that can impede movement. Labourers who are seeking to journey to the UK before July 19th may need to take a COVID-19 test before and after arrival. Those who are not vaccinated will be required to quarantine upon arrival, though fully vaccinated workers can eschew quarantine when arriving or leaving the country.

In Germany, entry restrictions are in place for those who aren’t vaccinated. Travellers from the EU or other select partners, like Canada or the United States, may also enter without restriction. Host countries will always have specific regulations which govern who can and can’t enter; employers should carefully consult government resources before hiring to ensure they don’t run afoul of COVID-19 restrictions. Highly skilled workers who fulfill economically vital roles are often allowed to travel despite COVID-19, yet restrictions vary from state to state.

Maximizing success when crossing borders 

Employers seeking to hire migrant labourers based in another country should take the following steps to ensure that borders are successfully and legally crossed:

  • Ensure that travellers have access to COVID-19 testing before and after arrival 
  • Ensure that travellers are fully vaccinated and have the documents to prove it 
  • Ensure that other legal documents – e.g. a work visa – are in order before arrival

While different countries are governed by various COVID-19 regulations, virtually all of them will be easier to access for migrants with access to COVID-19 testing and vaccinations. Employers should also guarantee that every migrant labourer is familiar with proper medical guidelines for avoiding the spread of COVID-19, such as wearing a mask and avoiding poorly ventilated areas.

Technology platforms like Joblio ensure that all workers are properly taken care of before they arrive in their destination countries. CEO Jon Purizhansky notes that “all applicants will undergo a medical examination 48 hours prior to arrival, including COVID-19 tests,” when using Joblio. By prioritizing worker well being, Joblio facilitates a smooth transition from origin countries to destination countries where jobs are waiting for migrants eager to work. Purizhansky elaborates that “Joblio is committed to ensuring the right of all workers to a safe and healthy work environment.”

Joblio’s platform also guarantees that workers aren’t exploited once they’ve finally arrived in their new homes. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a serious spike of labour abuse allegations in many parts of the world. Joblio circumvents labour abuse by directly connecting workers to employers before the job begins to ensure they negotiate on equal terms. The platform also confirms that local and international humanitarian standards are being upheld throughout the hiring process.

Managing the fallout from COVID-19

Migrant labourers will suffer from the economic impact of COVID-19 for years to come. One report from the Asian Development Bank claimed economic remittances from labourers dropped anywhere from $31 to $54 billion in 2020 alone. Employers must be ready to offer fair wages, safe working conditions, and a transparent negotiation process to these labourers as they bounce back from the pandemic. With the help of platforms like Joblio, they can streamline the process whereby medical and legal documents are taken care of well before employment begins.

Stay up to date on policy briefs provided by the International Labour Organization and enlist the help of technological platforms like Joblio to ensure a smooth hiring process during and after the pandemic.
