HR Advisor to Series A-C Companies

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to global hiring practices. According to the 2024 Distributed Work Report, only 12% of companies have the ability to recruit talent from any country in the world. The majority rely on location-based approvals or evaluate candidates on a case-by-case basis. My experience as a people leader at a globally distributed company taught me that the best talent in the world is not within a 50-mile radius of SF. I was able to build the best team of my career having access to a broader talent pool. There are serious advantages to hiring distributed talent. Companies are no longer limited by geographic location to hire. They can hire the world's top talent to take on work that inspires them and the flexibility to decide when and where that work happens. But, while hiring globally opens up lots of options, it's important to be smart and intentional about who and where you hire. Hiring anyone, anywhere can open up your company to an increasing amount of HR, finance, and legal implications that I lovingly refer to as "HR debt". Companies should take time to develop a thoughtful hiring plan so there are no unforeseen costs, compliance headaches, and legal issues down the road. If you have concerns about your global hiring practices, let's chat. #distributedworkreport #globaltalent #startups #peopleoperations #humanresources #distributed #distributedwork #remotework #futureofwork #compliance #hiring
