Post-arrival HR support that stays with the worker.
A placement that ends at the airport leaves the employer with a person and no file. ISHC treats HR after arrival as part of the hire: the same standard, and often the same desk.
International Strategic Hiring Choices
What stays attached
Onboarding packs, induction checklists, payroll administration, attendance hand-off, employment documents, and lifecycle notes. The first-week file is meant to match the pack that travelled with the worker.
Exceptions have a named ISHC contact. The engagement letter, not a brochure, sets the replacement window.
With a new deployment, or on its own
When ISHC has screened and placed the worker, HR can travel with that file from shortage lock to the first payslip. Employers who already hold people can still scope documentation, payroll support, and lifecycle on their own.
Either way the work is written from the live file. It is not a generic template dropped on the site.
What this line does not do
It does not issue visas, work permits, or employment licences. Those decisions stay with the competent authority. Screening and the document file sit on the workforce and process pages.
It is manpower and HR. The published proof on the house remains 500+ staff deployed and 100+ partners.
How to brief it
Say whether HR should follow a worker ISHC is placing, or support people already on site. Name the corridor if a permit file is in motion — Serbia and Malta have published notes — and who runs local payroll today.
The desk replies by email from the contact page.
Questions employers ask
Is post-arrival HR a separate company from the recruitment desk?
No. HR staffing is a core ISHC line with equal weight to screened overseas workers. It can travel with a deployment or be scoped for people you already employ.
What does payroll administration cover?
Payslip support, attendance hand-off, and the records an employer or local partner needs. It is administration of the employment file, scoped in the engagement.
When does the replacement path apply?
When the engagement letter says so: if the worker cannot take up the post or leaves inside the agreed window. Marketing pages do not replace that letter.
Can HR start before the permit is decided?
The employment pack is designed alongside the placement file. The authority still decides the permit. HR support for being on site follows arrival.
