Our network of global partners advertises and promotes your available positions to their job pool before reviewing resumes and pre-screening candidates.

Hiring Options

IWT recruits from 35 countries through our own international offices and select partners. We understand hiring challenges, and we also know how important it is to have a trusted partner. Because of our global reach and decades of experience, we offer access to the best tools for hiring a strong team during even the busiest of seasons.

International hiring tours

Hiring abroad allows you to meet applicants in person and conduct interviews and hiring for your positions in one trip.

These tours are ideal for companies that hire large numbers of employees. You’ll be able to speak with candidates in person, all while touring their home countries.

Hire for your Summer season from December to March. Tours stop in Eastern Europe, East Asia, and the Caribbean.

Hire for your Winter season in August. Tours stop in Brazil, Argentina, and Peru.

Hire for your Spring season in October. Tours stop through Thailand and the Philippines.

To learn more about how your company can participate in our international hiring tours, please email your Account Representative or contact IWT at hire@intraxinc.com.

Virtual hiring fairs

Hiring and interviewing online allows you to hire qualified candidates face-to-face by video conference, interviewing from either our San Francisco headquarters or your office. Virtual fairs are ideal for companies that want to interview job applicants but don’t have the time to travel outside of the United States.

Summer: November to April

Winter: August to October

Spring: October to November

Lets us find the right candidates for you

IWT and our partners hire the applicants who best fit your job descriptions and qualifications. Your new employees' resumes, profiles, and arrival information will be saved to your MyIntrax account afterwards for your reference.
