Establish what a permanent contract means locally
In an international search, permanent employment generally signals a relationship without a planned end date, but the rules depend on the country. Read the proposed agreement, identify the employer and check probation, notice and termination terms; translating a contract’s title does not reproduce the protections of your home employment system.
Connect long-term plans with the substance of the role
Ask the recruiter about the team, recurring responsibilities and the future envisaged for the position. Compare these points with your relocation plans and benefits actually included in the offer; a durable commitment also requires understanding daily work, management expectations and opportunities for developing your professional contribution.
