The old model of work had borders — offices, countries, time zones, org charts stacked like filing cabinets. That model is cracking.

In this episode of Business Uncomplicated, Rich Nazzaro and Andy Worobel sit down with Jim McCoy, CEO of Atlas HXM, to explore what the future of global work actually looks like when companies can hire talent anywhere in the world.

Jim shares how organizations are building borderless teams, the hidden complexity behind global hiring, and why workforce strategy is shifting from location-based hiring to skills-based hiring. They unpack how companies navigate global compliance, cultural differences, remote work policies, and the growing role of AI in workforce management.

The conversation also dives into leadership — from scaling global teams and managing cultural nuance to why a little imposter syndrome might actually make you a better leader.

If you're building a company, managing distributed teams, or trying to understand where AI and global talent are taking the workforce next, this episode delivers practical insights with a clear view of the road ahead.
