Business Case

Filled 4 International Roles in Q4 2023 Across EMEA and APAC

Gorilla Glue Europe

Gorilla Glue Europe began an international expansion in 2023 with an initial focus on Europe and Asia-Pacific. As its presence grew, the company needed to build regional sales leadership in strategic markets. It faced challenges with local sourcing, especially where internal recruitment capacity or market knowledge was limited. The urgency to fill key roles across APAC and EMEA increased the pressure to scale talent quickly and compliantly. To support compliant international hiring, Gorilla Glue Europe partnered with an Employer of Record (EOR) provider across locations including Spain, the Nordics, and Hong Kong. To address scaling needs, the partner’s recruitment team implemented a contingent recruitment model on a no-cure-no-pay basis. This approach was designed to complement the existing EOR setup and provide a one-stop-shop for international workforce expansion. The recruitment team sourced candidates across multiple time zones using localized strategies, including tapping passive talent pools in challenging markets such as Japan and Australia. In Q4 2023, the recruitment effort resulted in a Regional Sales Manager hire for the Nordics. The team also placed a second Regional Sales Manager in Iberia, a Sales Director in APAC, and a 3PL Manager in the Netherlands. Gorilla Glue reported strong satisfaction with the recruitment outcomes and the integration between EOR and recruitment services. The company also cited positive feedback from its EOR employees and valued added HR support in Asia-Pacific.

Key Results
  • 2023 began international expansion across Europe and Asia-Pacific
  • Q4 2023 filled 4 roles (Nordics Regional Sales Manager, Iberia Regional Sales Manager, APAC Sales Director, Netherlands 3PL Manager)

Business Case

4 Contrataciones Clave Completadas en Q4 2023 para la Expansión Internacional

Gorilla Glue Europe

Challenge: En 2023, Gorilla Glue Europe inició una expansión internacional con foco en Europa y Asia-Pacífico y necesitaba contratar de forma ágil y cumpliendo normativa local. A medida que crecía su presencia, aumentó la complejidad de la adquisición de talento. La empresa debía reforzar el liderazgo regional de ventas en mercados estratégicos. Se enfrentó a dificultades para contratar en regiones donde no contaba con capacidad interna ni conocimiento profundo del mercado local. Solution: Gorilla Glue se asoció con Safeguard Global para servicios de Employer of Record (EOR) con el fin de escalar sin constituir entidades legales locales. Cuando surgió la urgencia por cubrir posiciones clave en EMEA y APAC, también recurrió a su equipo de reclutamiento. Se implementó un modelo de búsqueda contingente sin retainer inicial para mantener flexibilidad y reducir el riesgo financiero inicial. El equipo ejecutó búsquedas localizadas en múltiples husos horarios y mercados para identificar perfiles con experiencia comercial y conocimiento local. Results: En el cuarto trimestre de 2023, se incorporó con éxito a un responsable regional de ventas para los países nórdicos. También se cubrieron un segundo puesto de ventas regional en Iberia, un puesto de dirección comercial en APAC y un responsable de logística 3PL en los Países Bajos. Gorilla Glue indicó un alto nivel de satisfacción con los resultados del proceso de selección y con la integración fluida entre EOR y reclutamiento. La colaboración se consideró una base para futuras contrataciones mientras la compañía exploraba nuevos mercados.

Key Results
  • Q4 2023 contratación completada (responsable regional de ventas para países nórdicos)
  • 4 puestos estratégicos cubiertos (ventas nórdicos, ventas Iberia, dirección comercial APAC, logística 3PL Países Bajos)
  • 2023 inicio de expansión internacional
