On January 25th, a comprehensive White Paper will be released by Intelligence Group and The Network using analysis from The World’s Largest Candidate Behaviour Research to underpin an imminent recruitment rally on the international labor market. The White Paper, based on the Global Talent Mobility Research, which included 66.019 respondents from over 40 different countries around the world, discusses major trends affecting the global labor market and provides recommendations to firms with global recruitment strategies on how to win the rally.
Globalization of local labor marketsLabor markets are globalizing at a high pace. This is a result from the fact that job boards have became smarter and with developments in social media and search engines, international candidates now have a very wide mix of channels to find their job in the global labor market. On top of this, general trends are seen as well which affect the globalness of labor markets. For instance the increased number of Generation Y candidates on total workforce, has resulted in a more positive attitude towards international mobility. A second trend shows that the better the economic situation in a country in terms of GDP growth, the higher the propensity that their residents will consider working abroad. This means that, with the prospected improvement of economies, in 2010 an even wider part of the world’s workforce will have positive opinions towards international labor market mobility.Get ready for the international recruitment rallyThe paper discusses these and other major trends and their impact on the global labor market. In addition , five key aspects are highlighted that hiring firms must keep in mind in order to win the rally and be successful on the global labor market. One of these aspects concerns the importance of knowing your target group. The more specifically the target group is defined, the more effective communication with them will be. Knowledge of a particular target group influences the information communicated and the best channel to use. Other trends affecting labor markets and the remaining four things firms should keep in mind are presented in the paper.
