Freelancers In Exile: Employers Should Unlock The Gates
Numerous UK employers seem to be falling into the trap of thinking that, by limiting their search for the perfect native English speaking wordsmith to only those living within the borders of the United Kingdom, they are guaranteed to find the person they need. Sadly, they are missing out on the many talented and highly skilled British ex-pats, Americans and Australians, to name but a few, who work or live abroad. Whether British employers impose a geographical stipulation or not, a proportion of the bids they receive from the United Kingdom will of course be from people for whom English is a second language. They will still need to sift through the applications to make sure. By restricting their search to within the UK, all that will be achieved is a much reduced pool of resources from which to choose. They could be losing the opportunity to work with some of the most skilled and talented writers, editors, transcribers or proofreaders on the market today. The most proficient freelancer for their project might only be an email away but finds himself excluded because he is across a prescribed, albeit invisible border. There is no doubt it could prove more beneficial for UK employers to be less stringent in the geographical boundaries they set and welcome both the ex-pats and the English speaking continents into the fold. UK Employers should embrace global networking and welcome the chance to work with people on an international level. Otherwise they are doing themselves a disservice by limiting the number of players on the resource field and availing themselves of only a small percentage of the world's talent pool.
