How to hire in India

Where are companies in UK hiring global talent?

UK companies are expanding their distributed workforce by sourcing talent internationally, with a clear emphasis on markets that offer specialized skills and cost efficiency.

  • India is the leading hiring destination, accounting for 22.9% of international hires, closely followed by the Philippines at 19.2%, which is favored for both technical and support roles. The USA (7.1%), South Africa (4.7%), and Germany (4.5%) complete the top five, while 41.4% of hires are drawn from other countries.
  • This hiring strategy highlights United Kingdom’s pursuit of skilled, affordable talent from both established and emerging markets, underpinning business agility and supporting global growth objectives.

These patterns reflect English companies’ focus on building flexible, globally distributed teams and leveraging diverse expertise to drive business success.

How much are companies in UK paying international talent?

Salaries for global talent hired by English companies vary considerably based on the role, seniority, and country, illustrating a highly targeted approach to compensation.

  • Executive and senior-level roles in developed markets command the highest salaries—VP of Sales in the USA earns $13,350/month, Marketing Manager $10,850/month, and Regional Directors in Germany see $9,500/month. These figures reflect a premium on strategic leadership and advanced expertise.
  • Technical and professional roles in mid-tier markets like India and Germany are competitively paid: Software Engineers in India earn $2,700/month, while in Germany, the same role attracts $6,900/month. Product Managers in India see $3,000/month, and Data Scientists in Germany earn $6,750/month.
  • Entry-level, creative, and support functions – such as Senior Technical Support Specialists in the Philippines ($700/month), Accountants in South Africa ($1,150/month), and Talent Acquisition Consultants in the Philippines ($600/month) – show significant cost efficiencies, allowing English companies to scale operational capacity internationally.

These salary benchmarks demonstrate United Kingdom’s data-driven compensation approach – aligning pay to local expectations, role complexity, and the strategic value of each hire – enabling access to a broad spectrum of global talent while maintaining cost discipline.
