There’s a popular misconception about sales people from Nigeria seeking remote jobs. People think we may not properly present and promote their brands unique message and identity since it’s a different society/community they are targeting. You need to understand that over here, the initial target & direction for learning the sales and digital marketing skills was specifically tailored for different markets abroad. We also have a winning mentality, that’s why our marketing agencies deliver on the promise made to clients as we have to work twice as hard. A little insight on the things I explained at the Smedan forum on business with international companies and organizations.

While we were looking for a good specialist I faced a real problem - shortage of personnel in PR in CIS countries. 🙋♀️ Finding strong PR professionals in the CIS is increasingly challenging due to a high demand for digital skills, shifts in media landscapes, and the rise of localized strategies. Companies in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, for instance, often face the issue of underqualified candidates in digital PR and influencer management, key growing areas in PR. In addition, the ongoing regional economic shifts mean many PR specialists are transitioning to more lucrative roles in marketing or digital strategy, making talent harder to retain. 🌍 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Globalization is giving way to more region-specific communication strategies. For example for PR in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, this may mean that professionals with strong knowledge of the local media landscape and regional cultural sensitivities are in higher demand. Localized messaging and tailored content are becoming more important across the CIS and neighboring regions 🔔 𝐁𝐔𝐓 then you can have some surprises with local specialists. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: hiring qualified local PR professionals might be challenging due to a lack of specific training in communications, public relations, and digital marketing. This is likely exacerbated by a general shortage of highly skilled labor across various industries. Therefore, businesses entering these markets often look for local expertise and may face challenges in finding the right talent due to gaps in professional qualifications and training. So 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐮𝐩 hard skills of employees but be attentive to soft ones - they should be perfect anyways. 🌟 As a result I understand that its really hard and nearly impossible to find 2 in 1 specialist that really DO KNOW local market and have strong hard skills. Im on my way to be the expert with on different markets (long-term task) but always levelup of my hards 👩🏫 In my latest experience the increasing role of AI, automation, and augmented reality is transforming PR practices globally, and this is likely to influence hiring trends CIS as well. PR professionals with expertise in AI-powered tools, data analysis, and content personalization are becoming more valuable. #hiring #pr #hiringinpr #centralasia #caucasus
