Tackling the Challenges of Global Workforce Management
The global workforce needs are evolving rapidly, presenting HR leaders with unique challenges. Our team had the chance to sit down and chat with our latest partner Amby on what we think this means for our market and the businesses looking to hire global talent.
“In an era where talent is obtainable from everywhere, ensuring effective management across the wide range work models and locations is more important than ever,” notes Tom, Co-founder of Teamed. Whether it’s remote or hybrid, the complexities of sourcing, integrating, and managing international talent can be daunting - but it doesn’t have to be.
Strategic HR partners like Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and Employer of Record (EOR) services, such as those provided by Amby and Teamed, are becoming indispensable solutions for businesses looking to thrive in this new environment.
“Attracting and retaining top talent shouldn’t be confined to a border. This especially rings true in the world of tech recruitment, where high-growth companies often struggle to recruit enough tech talent in their home markets at a pace that aligns with their growth” - Tor Daneshmand, Co-founder and CEO of Amby.
Streamlining Recruitment with RPO
RPO services like Amby specialise in not just sourcing talent but ensuring a strategic fit that aligns with the company’s long-term goals. They work long-term with their clients to craft recruitment strategies, set hiring roadmaps, and execute on recruitment operations, often for months or even years at a time. When it comes to creating a customised hiring plan that supports overall business goals, it’s not uncommon to source talent from abroad - either in the form of relocation or EoR.
“Turning to a new market your next hire not only ensures that you have access to an expanded, qualified talent pool, but also that you provide equal opportunities for talent across the globe. Since the shift to remote work, it’s become clear that great work can happen anywhere, which means great talent can be found everywhere,” Tor explains.
“Finding the right talent isn’t just about filling gaps — it’s about crafting a global team that drives your company forward,” remarks Mollie, Partnerships Manager at Teamed. By significantly reducing the resources typically required to recruit internationally, RPOs enable quicker hiring cycles and better retention by matching the right talent with the right roles; “This is also why we love partnering with RPOs as they can help our clients to find the right talent so much faster”.
Enhancing Compliance and Employee Management with EoR
Once the ideal candidates are shortlisted, the focus shifts to integrating them effectively — a task complicated by varying international regulations. “Navigating these regulations doesn’t have to be a roadblock,” explains Joanna, Head of Legal at Teamed. EoR services manage every aspect of employment, from drafting up localised contracts to running international payroll, allowing companies to focus on operational growth without the burden of administrative complexities.
During the hiring process, Amby takes on a lot of the operational load that comes with recruitment to maintain a positive candidate experience. However, once the candidate is signed, the admin work doesn’t stop. If anything, it’s more important than ever that onboarding and admin feel smooth sailing as the employee experience - and ultimately retention - comes into focus.
Solving HR Pain Points
HR leaders understand that inefficiencies in global hiring and employment management can lead to missed growth targets, increased costs and compliance risks. Here’s how our RPO and EoR services directly address these issues:
• Finding the talent: Finding top talent in your home market can be tricky enough. But differences in job boards, limited candidate pools, low brand awareness, and language barriers can make recruiting abroad feel like an impossible feat. However, with a global-first RPO partner like Amby you’re able to overcome these barriers and open your talent pool from your first hire. This partnership can help get you up and running in a new market until you have the capacity and knowhow to handle international recruitment in-house.
• Navigating Compliance: “It’s not just about following rules; it’s about understanding how these rules impact your global operations,” Joanna adds. Teamed and other EoRs services ensure adherence and integration to local employment laws, a key for companies operating across multiple jurisdictions in a sustainable manner.
• Cultural Integration: “Bridging cultural gaps enhances team dynamics and drives innovation,” note our partners at Amby. Both RPO and EoR play critical roles in ensuring cultural fit and cohesion within globally distributed teams. For example, softer components like personality, cultural fit, and openness can be assessed during the recruitment process. Alignment between these factors, as well as expectation management throughout the recruitment process, can help ensure that the new hire is well equipped to work in a global team.
• Operational Efficiency: Outsourcing recruitment and employment management optimises HR operations, enabling better performance and reducing overhead. “We take on the complexities, so you can focus on what you do best — growing your business,” Tom states.
A Strategic Approach to Global Hiring
“Our collaboration with partners like Amby goes beyond solving logistical challenges; it’s about providing strategic value that transforms global HR practices,” Tom reflects.
The partnership between Amby’s recruitment expertise and Teamed’s comprehensive EoR services prepares businesses to not only meet but exceed the demands of the global market. The partnership opens up entirely new talent pools for hiring managers and expands employment opportunities for top talent around the globe, all while maintaining a seamless experience for candidates and employers alike.
Future-Proofing Your HR Strategy
Embracing RPO and EoR services isn’t just beneficial; it’s essential for many businesses aiming to build a resilient, compliant, and diverse workforce. “As the landscape changes, so do our strategies to support your global HR needs,” concludes Tom.
If your organisation is ready to overcome the challenges of global recruitment and optimise your global hiring and people management, partnering with experienced RPO and EoR providers like Amby and Teamed is your next step towards success.
