As companies expand internationally, they must improve their human resource capabilities to consider culture, local labor laws, and differing approaches to work as they hire employees in other countries. This article introduces several key concepts in global HR management and explains its significance for international businesses.
Recruitment and Staffing
Whether a company is looking to hire domestically or internationally, the goal is always to find the most qualified candidate to fill the position. Understanding the job description and the desired skill set is essential to finding the right candidate for the job. It is important for HR to understand any unique or different job expectations for international positions. In addition, it is important to keep in mind that job experience and education may look very different from one culture to the next. It is beneficial for the human resources team to be well versed in cultural differences so they are able to fully understand the backgrounds and experiences of their candidates.
