Ep 652: Unlocking Global Talent Pools

Recruiting Future with Matt Alder

One of the pandemic's legacies is the opening of genuinely global markets for talent. The trend of moving work to people, rather than people to work, is set to grow as effectively tapping into international talent pools can offer a huge competitive advantage for the employers that get it right. At the same time, though, recruiting globally can be daunting, with companies having to negotiate the previously unfamiliar cultural, financial, and legal complexities.

My guest this week is Jonathan Romley, founder and CEO of Lundy. Jonathan shares his extensive experience in mapping out international hiring plans and highlights why he sees the globalization of talent as a huge strategic opportunity for talent acquisition.

In the interview, we discuss:

• The shifting global workforce landscape

• Why global hiring is a strategic opportunity for Talent Acquisition

• Understanding the business case

• Assessing whether a role should be based in another country

• Strategy roles versus execution roles

• The vital importance of research

• The disruptive force of AI
