How do you Build a Global Workforce?
It appears that in recent times, the trend is for everyone to expand their reach globally, wouldn't you agree?
After grappling with significant recruitment challenges in past seasons – thanks to the Great Resignation – it's hardly surprising that employers are broadening their perspective on the talent landscape.
The pandemic-induced movement restrictions had thwarted the entry of highly skilled professionals into various markets, resulting in pronounced shortages of skills over the last couple of years. Now that these restrictions have been lifted, local talents are eagerly pursuing international opportunities, either to explore new places or to return to their home countries.
However, the advantages of having a global talent pool extend beyond just its scope. The list of benefits is extensive. By embracing talents from around the world, your business gains a competitive edge. Diverse thinking becomes a valuable asset, providing insights into international markets. You can tap into exceptional skills and tackle business challenges with enhanced efficiency. This dynamic creates a mutually beneficial scenario.
Startups have encountered limitations in accessing these advantages. They've missed out on international talent, while larger enterprises with more substantial resources have reaped the rewards. But the landscape is shifting. With organizations like CareerBuddy, which facilitates global talent sourcing and acquisition, global talent is now more accessible than ever, and startups now have the means to tap into exceptional talent.
We know that remote startups face a ton of challenges when recruiting global talent in new markets such as:
- Legal and regulatory compliance,
- Navigating Cultural and Linguistic Barriers
- Competition for top talent
How do we successfully chart this course? Join the conversation with Ifeoma, the COO of CareerBuddy where she dissects How to Create and Launch a Winning Go-to-Market Talent strategy on this podcast episode.

Proven Training for Enhancing Employee Engagement
It cannot be overemphasized that the success of every organization is largely dependent on its human components.
The human component of an organization refers to the people who make up the workforce. This includes employees, management, and executives.
For your business organization to be profitable, your employees must be committed to giving their all toward the growth and success of the company. By fostering employee engagement, you can secure the commitment of your employees, thus ensuring the long-term growth and success of your organization.

Birthday Leave: a Must or a Perk?
Birthday leave is the latest perk businesses are considering offering their employees to attract and retain talent.
It’s not compulsory, but employers in large and small businesses around the world are considering offering this non-statutory benefit to look more attractive to potential employees and retain existing ones with this goodwill gesture.
If you are considering adding it as a perk in your business, you might have a lot of questions: should you get into the spirit of celebration by allowing employees to take off a day from work by using birthday leave? Do people want their birthdays celebrated?
And if you do, is it classified as part of their annual leave or a separate perk?
