International Recruitment
Are you looking for that holy grail of a life/work balance? Love your merchandising career but want to see more of the world? Taking your career abroad could be the perfect solution! Global brands are itching to attract the very best retail talent from the UK – your skills are in high demand!
At AQUAintl we’ve been helping candidates secure new jobs not only in London and the UK, but also all over the globe for years & years. From Dublin to Italy, Sydney to Lille and many many appointments in Australia… we really enjoy breaking the news that not only have you got the job, but you’ve also got the lifestyle you were hankering after too.
Meanwhile, if perhaps your ties here in the UK prevent you from fully taking the plunge, then most of our own retailers are expanding their international teams, right here on these shores. Expansion across Europe, the USA, Middle East and Far East is big business for our industry at the moment, so – while the suntan opportunities may not be quite the same! – the opportunities are plentiful.
