You will learn to create accessible vacancies and how to promote yourself as an inclusive employer. The consultant will examine with you which competencies and language level are required for the job and also carefully screen your vacancy for clarity. You will receive advice on how to increase the likelihood that job seekers with a migration background will find, understand and respond to your vacancy. This can take the form of information, advice, training, work sessions or a combination of these approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/werkgevers.vdab.be\/werkgevers\/accountmanagers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VDAB account manager<\/a> can put you in touch with jobseekers with a migratory background. Each account manager is specialized in a specific industry. They can proofread your vacancies, recommend actions and give personal advice. Ask them to distribute your vacancy among VDAB's local support partners. These partners generally have intensive contact with job seekers and can make your vacancy known to suitable candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<p>Met tips &amp; tricks leert uw HR-medewerker op een interactieve manier vlotter mondeling en\/of schriftelijk communiceren met werkzoekenden met een migratieachtergrond. UW HR-medewerker leert eigen wervings- en selectie-instrumenten omzetten in duidelijke en eenvoudige taal (bijvoorbeeld: vacatures, selectietesten en -gesprekken, personeelsdocumenten, &#8230;) Hij leert ook welke communicatievormen en ondersteunende middelen hij kan inzetten bij elk taalniveau (bijvoorbeeld: pictogrammen of apps gebruiken, oefenkansen Nederlands opstarten, &#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDo you want to hire a diverse pool of prospective employees?\n\t\t\t\t\n<p>With a consultant from Agentschap Integratie en Inburgering you can explore how to make your recruitment policy more inclusive. You will learn to create accessible vacancies and how to promote yourself as an inclusive employer. The consultant will examine with you which competencies and language level are required for the job and also carefully screen your vacancy for clarity. You will receive advice on how to increase the likelihood that job seekers with a migration background will find, understand and respond to your vacancy. This can take the form of information, advice, training, work sessions or a combination of these approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<p>During this training, your HR person will practice a positive and inquisitive interview technique that invites the job seeker to introduce themselves. By focusing on talents, drives, hard and soft skills that can manifest themselves in various life domains, a CV screening no longer needs to be the focus. Your HR employee learns to make the talents and drives of the candidate visible without focusing on jobs, functions and tasks already performed.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<p>A job design analysis identifies the tasks and work processes in your department. You will be given tools to organize work processes differently and to separate simple tasks. In doing so, you can deploy qualified personnel for the work they are trained for and create a low-threshold position that is accessible to a more diverse audience. This way you shape your diversity policy, motivate your staff and realize more efficiency on the work floor. Jobdesign can thus provide an answer to the challenge of filling (bottleneck) vacancies and dealing with reintegration, competency gaps, high wage costs and overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<p>Door werkplekleren ervaart u in welke mate de nodige skills aanwezig zijn bij uw kandidaat werknemer. Via verschillende leervormen kan u hard en soft skills verder trainen\/aanleren. Ook krijgt u een zicht op hoe het samenwerken met de nieuwe werknemer op de werkvloer verloopt. Er zijn verschillende vormen van werkplekleren (IBO(T), BIS, stages, &#8230;) en leren op de werkvloer (artikel 60\/61, vrijwilligerswerk, &#8230;) Vaak krijgen de nieuwe werknemer, uw leiding en team ook coaching op vlak van soft skills en integratie op de werkvloer. Bovendien vangt u het mogelijke productiviteitsverlies van de eerste maanden op door een lagere loonkost. De mogelijkheden zijn dus voordelig voor u en geven kansen aan kandidaat werknemers met weinig ervaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClear and concise info on socio-legal and financial issues?\n\t\t\t\t\n<p>Get professional advice on coaching and support options, with a focus on the employment of workers with a migratory background. A consultant analyzes the workplace, your questions and lists possible services, solutions and subsidies. This analysis results in an advisory report with action points for your company, management, team and for the new employee. This way you know which services offer a suitable answer to all your (socio-legal and financial) questions .<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<p>U kan met vragen over tewerkstelling van buitenlandse werknemer(s), arbeidskaarten en -vergunningen terecht bij de juridische helpdesk van het Agentschap Integratie en Inburgering.

Keep in mind that a written resume of someone with a migrant background may not be very good, but that doesn't mean that the candidate is less qualified for the position. Invite him to an interview so he can explain his motivation and experience. This will give you a more accurate picture of the language level and competencies present in the candidate.
