How global hiring is fixing the talent crisis
Why global hiring is your secret weapon
With 70% of leaders reporting that skills gaps are hurting performance, the search for talent has become a defining challenge of modern business. Companies can no longer afford to limit their talent pools to their own backyards. The solution is clear: go global.
While hiring beyond borders was once a complex nightmare reserved for large corporations only, a new wave of tools has made it accessible for businesses of every size. So, how can leaders leverage this global hiring boom to build future-proof teams?
Join Amritpal Singh, Co-founder of Multiplier, in a forward-thinking conversation with Newsweek editor Aman Kidwai moderated by Senior Tech Correspondent Rani Molla of Sherwood News. This expert panel will explore the seismic shift towards global employment, from the historical pains that made it inaccessible to the modern solutions, like Employer of Record (EOR), that are making it mainstream.
They’ll discuss the impact of global hiring on the wider economy, the rise of emerging talent hubs in regions like Poland, and how global employment is becoming a powerful equalizing force.
Looking ahead, they’ll also discuss new challenges from how to navigate return-to-office mandates to understanding the role of AI in recruitment. This session will provide leaders with a strategic roadmap to not just survive the talent crisis, but thrive in it.

- Global hiring has shifted from a cost-saving tactic to a strategic necessity for filling critical talent gaps
- A skills-based approach is crucial for global hiring, focusing on tangible skills over academic or job history
