In this episode about the talent shortage issue in Australia, Leo is interviewing Craig Goldblatt, Vice President of Partners & Alliances for Globalization Partners business in Asia. 

Is Australia's talent shortage and skills gap issue real? What is the Australian government doing to address the problem? And what are some solutions for Australian businesses to leverage?

Facing a shrinking talent pool and widening skills gap, Australian companies seem to be struggling to hire locally. A shrinking population and closed borders due to the pandemic further exacerbates the situation. 

But international borderless hiring is quickly emerging as a viable solution.  

Through remote hiring, Australian companies can now cast a wider net and hire the best talent located anywhere in the world. With some skillsets geographically concentrated in specific talent hubs, remote hiring also provides cost-effective access to these highly sought-after professionals. 

Additionally, the Australian government recently launched initiatives to encourage and promote international hiring. 

Although the benefits for remote hiring are plentiful, companies must stay on top of compliance risks and administrative nightmares surrounding legal, tax, and contractual specificities. 

In this episode, Leo interviews Craig Goldblatt, Vice President of Partners & Alliances for Globalization Partners, as they discuss Australia's talent shortage, tips on growing remotely, and tools and management strategies companies can deploy today.

Special series on equity crowdfunding

Today, I am with James Barbour from Dillicious, a fantastic success story that proves that when you believe and love what you do, you can reach the moon! James was working in the retail industry as a sales and general manager when he launched a little pickles production along with his wife, as a side-project. Success of the taste, concept and love he put in his pickles, the side-project became his full time job within a few months. He signed his first big contract with a distributor a few days after he decided to quit his job and since then, he is un-stoppable: pitching at entrepreneur events, appearing in a few podcasts and launching his EOI with Birchal in a few days!

In this second episode with Thibaut Briere (actually one single recording but Thibaut had a lot to share!), we are focusing on the Asian market, its complexity and how crucial it is to test this market.

How, will you ask! Thibaut advises to build your website with a different landing page for each country. This way, you can test your messaging per country… He also explains how to use Facebook ads and LinkedIn. Another episode full of concrete tips!

What is important is to learn about your market while according to him, the future of marketing will be driven by a s”ocial media fatigue”; COVID and digitalisation have seen an increasing traffic on social medias but without actions taken by users. As a result, the cost of ads has decreased but their efficiency as well!

For Thibaut, it’s not enough to publish, you need quality content with a proper branding and messaging; “there is no shortcut in marketing”.
