Recruiting employees from Europe, they are familiar with local cultural customs and business rules, and can communicate and communicate in a way that is more acceptable to locals. In business banquets, they know how to choose the right restaurant and dishes, and follow the correct table manners; in contract negotiations, they can accurately grasp each other's needs and concerns, and propose solutions that are more in line with local business habits. In this way, companies can better establish trust with European customers and increase the success rate of cooperation.
