The exciting prospect of worldwide recruiting through digitalization is
changing the way businesses and talent think about hiring and careers,
respectively. Yet, with all the complexity involved in dealing with languages,
cultures, currencies, and industries – how exactly does this work, and is it
worth the effort? Let’s examine these questions as we look at the evolution of talent acquisition through digitalization.
Digitalizaton and Talent Acquisition
According to Gartner.com, Digitalization is defined as:
“…the use of digital technologies to change a business model and
provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities; it is the process of
moving to a digital business.”
Modern businesses around the world understand what this means in practical
application, as online technologies become more pronounced and essential to
business processes. This is also true in the recruitment and hiring processes,
which are increasingly being accomplished through digital means.
This is validated in an article found on Business News Daily,
called: “Hiring in the Digital Age: What’s Next for Recruiting?”,
written on January 11, 2016 by Nicole Fallon Taylor – when it says:
“When Linkedln and online job applications first began to gain traction,
they were seen as supplements to the traditional paper resume and in-person
interview. Today, the world of recruiting has gone nearly 100-percent digital.”
Most job seekers and employers understand this already, as online job boards
and applications has become the main source and process for talent recruitment.
Yet, can social media and online job boards facilitate worldwide recruitment
with the simplicity needed to streamline the recruitment process? This is
important, as the article states:
“ Today’s job seekers know their worth and are aware of the competitive
landscape. They see opportunities everywhere, and if one employer takes too
long to respond or makes it difficult to apply, they’ll quickly pass it up for
another job opening.”
The future of talent recruitment seems to be centered around digitalization,
which is also making worldwide recruitment a viable option for employers and
talent. Yet, this must be facilitated with enough simplicity and ease to
attract talent throughout the process. This is where The Network comes into the
picture, as the leading worldwide platform for talent recruitment.

by simplifying the process with: one language, one currency, an expanded job
board partner network, and with local and industry expertise.
Benefits of Worldwide Recruitment
Employers, at this point, understand the movement toward acquiring talent
through digitalization and how The Network can streamline the process, yet what
are the benefits of recruiting talent worldwide?
Recruiting worldwide gives employers an expanded pool of applicants, which
increases their chances of finding the top, unique talent needed for the unique
position they’re seeking to fill.
The world is becoming a smaller place with online technology, and many
talented professionals are willing to move to another country for the right
position. Employers will benefit from the cultural expertise these professional
bring, which expands trade networks, partners, and brings insight into foreign
markets.
Also, there are talented professionals (in all industries) interested in
experiencing other cultures, so employers — offering positions in those
countries — can benefit from this, as well.
Acquiring a talented executive can make a huge, positive difference in the
direction for a company; talented executives can infuse foreign expertise and
best practices into a company, giving them an edge on the competition. These
are some of the many benefits that worldwide talent recruiting brings
businesses.
