2 Use the right sourcing channels

Once you have your global talent strategy, you need to find the best ways to reach out to potential candidates. There are many sourcing channels you can use, such as job boards, social media, referrals, networking events, and talent communities. However, not all channels are equally effective for different markets and roles. You need to research and understand the preferences, behaviors, and expectations of your target talent segments, and tailor your sourcing messages and methods accordingly. For example, you might use LinkedIn for professional roles, Facebook for creative roles, or WeChat for Chinese candidates.

3 Screen for skills and culture fit

After you have attracted some candidates, you need to screen them for their skills and culture fit. This is a crucial step to ensure that you hire the best talent for your organization, and avoid wasting time and resources on unqualified or unsuitable candidates. You can use various screening tools and techniques, such as resumes, cover letters, online assessments, video interviews, and reference checks. However, you also need to be aware of the potential biases and barriers that might affect your screening process, such as language differences, cultural norms, time zones, and internet access. You need to be flexible and respectful of your candidates' needs and preferences, and use objective and consistent criteria to evaluate them.

You need to communicate clearly and frequently with your team, and establish roles, responsibilities, and expectations. You also need to use the right tools and platforms to facilitate your collaboration, such as cloud-based software, video conferencing, and instant messaging.

Don't have a global team? No problem. There are great agencies in almost every country you can partner with for short or longterm engagements. By partnering with country specific agencies, you gain the advantage of local knowledge and market intel. For the best results, treat your agency partners like extensions of your team, training them on your products and history.
