Hiring the right talent is a crucial factor for an organisation. It is one of the top priorities for business growth and expansion, and in today’s globalised workforce, it has become even easier to acquire talent as it is no longer restricted to geographical boundaries. The rise of remote work and advancement of technology has made it possible for employees to search for work globally, while organisations can recruit or hire internationally, no matter where their organisations are located.
Recruiting the best global talent begins with an international hiring process; however, what is international hiring or recruitment, and what does it entails?
Searching for the right global talent
International or global recruitment is a HR process whereby employees are hired from anywhere globally, without geographical barriers. Global recruitment has become popular today, and due to that, many businesses have shifted to a mindset of hiring potential candidates that matches closely to the skills and expertise that they are looking for.
This differs from domestic recruitment as international recruitment depends on a few distinct factors. Market, language, culture and other factors can impact the global employment process. As an example, the hiring process is different in the US from the hiring process in Europe.
Candidates in the US are expected to have skill-driven resumes, and certain personal information such as Date of Birth (D.O.B) or marital status may not be necessary or relevant. However, for potential candidates looking for jobs in Europe, this information on their resume might add a competitive edge.1
Staffing approaches in international recruitment
There are 3 general staffing approaches when hiring internationally:2
- Regiocentric: This refers to the approach whereby employers hire international employees from multiple countries within the same region as their business.
- Polycentric: This is an approach whereby employers hire candidates from the country that they would want to expand their business to.
- Ethnocentric: This applies when employers hire employees from their parent countries for locations worldwide.
No matter which staffing approach that an employer takes, hiring globally, especially through an international staffing agency, gives access to a wider talent pool and also promotes cost-effective, streamlined processes.
