Global Talent Acquisition: Building Teams Across Borders

As companies expand internationally, the demand for skilled professionals is intensifying. But a study by Korn Ferry predicts that by 2030, there will be a global human talent shortage of 85 million people, potentially resulting in $8.5 trillion in unrealized annual revenues. 

Now, this looming talent gap underscores the critical importance of effective global hiring strategies. But again, hiring globally isn’t that simple. We all know that. It comes with its unique challenges, from navigating cultural differences and compliance laws to building teams that collaborate seamlessly across time zones. 

So, to explore how companies can effectively attract and retain top talent worldwide, I’m thrilled to welcome Stefanie Wild, the Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Evonik Industries AG. With her extensive experience in international recruitment, Stefanie will share valuable insights on overcoming cross-border hiring challenges and most importantly, fostering inclusive, high-performing teams.
