“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” — Michael Jordan.

Talent mobility on a global level has allowed companies to access talent from everywhere, hence offering them an unimaginable amount of international talent hitherto geographically unreachable. It has indeed also proven a challenge because recruitment plans must adjust to care for the geographically scattered employees.

Given these two trends, such access to global talent pools because of growing levels of remote and hybrid models necessitates investment into digital tools to facilitate collaboration and communication for trans-time worker communication. The hiring teams should also know pertinent legal and practical considerations, including labour legislation in foreign jurisdictions, the required tax obligations, and possible immigration processes or procedures.

Immigration policies also impact the mobility of international talent; the availability of work visas and the ease of moving talent across borders impact an organisation’s ability to get the right people in. Thus, recruiters must know this and other logistical/cultural issues for efficient and timely talent onboarding.

Hence, global talent mobility has given more prominence to diversity and inclusion. Companies now get to experience several cultures, perceptions, and skills. This brings innovation and creativity and opens markets for organisations worldwide. Talent mobility platforms and recruitment technology have simplified the search process for international talent for organisations, where AI-powered tools determine the most suitable candidate based on a resume, skills, and experiences.

As talent mobility grows on a global platform, so would upskilling and reskilling in this worldwide talent pool. Organisations, therefore, are expected to start training programs, and their investments in employees ought to develop this employee’s capacity for as long as the organisations find him relevant. All such trends could become the door that opens an entrance to becoming fast-evolving for organisations that build diversified teams into a competitive mode.
