With tech layoffs dominating the news headlines in recent months, the availability of talent has increased, however it’s still a tight labor market in most countries, and it continues to be difficult to hire great talent. 

For many organisations, it can require thinking outside the box. In this episode of the Shortlist, we’re going to examine the benefits of hiring globally and how this can be a game changer for many organizations.

The added value that international talent can bring to an organisation is significant in terms of skills, experience and international exposure as well as increased diversity and greater innovation. But how do you go about hiring international talent? Where do you start? 

Joining us on The Shortlist is Karin Bjorkman, Founder, Beyondo. Karin is a consultative partner and talent advisor, with more than 20 years of experience in international recruitment in The Netherlands and Sweden. She spent 17 years with Undutchables Recruitment Agency as a recruitment and executive consultant before setting up the Swedish arm of Undutchables. Last summer, Karin set up her own agency, Beyondo, connecting candidates to international job opportunities.
