More than a trend, cross-border recruitment and global hiring are now essential tools for companies trying to find the right people. A 2025 mid-year analysis shows remote work and international hiring expanding in many sectors.
Mobility isn’t slowing either. Top studies find that most mobility leaders expect global moves to stay the same or even increase in 2025, especially short-term assignments and remote roles.
Here’s how cross-border recruitment and talent acquisition across markets are making a difference (and how you can make them work for you).
What the Data Says
- A notable report addressed that cross-border hiring for tech roles doubled between 2020 and 2023, and many companies now routinely hire remote talent abroad.
- In global hiring analyses, REMOTE work is now a core piece of strategies, not just a perk.
- In Asia, LATAM, and APAC, remote roles are growing over 200% in some categories as firms tap regions with strong digital talent.
How to Make Cross-Border Recruitment Work
- If you want global hiring to be more than an experiment, try these:
Learn rules in each country – Employment laws, taxes, visas differ from region to region. - Standard hiring criteria – Use the same assessments, language tests, and onboarding steps across markets.
- Offer fair compensation – Adjust pay for local cost of living while keeping your global model.
- Communicate intentionally – Clear communication, schedule overlap, cultural empathy, these matter even more when people are remote.
These steps help reduce friction and make talent acquisition across markets more sustainable.
Bottom Line
So, we have already established that remote and global hiring aren’t just trends; they’re becoming foundational. It is no surprise that early adopters of talent acquisition across markets are already getting the edge.
If you want to win in recruiting, embracing cross-border recruitment and building reliable global hiring practices is key. When you get the infrastructure right, you unlock access to talent you’d never otherwise find.
