Race Bannon’s Post

The tech sector has already been moving in this direction for many years. How many tech managers have been told when hiring that they can hire outside of the United States but not within? My guess is many have been told exactly this. Many hiring managers have been forced, at least periodically, to narrow their search to talent outside of the country. So, adopting the mindset that hiring is a global exercise doesn't feel like an entirely new approach, just the natural progression of the offshoring that's been taking place for a long time. I think there are significant downsides to aggressive offshoring. Much has been written about those downsides. Going too far down that path could end up hurting companies more than helping them, especially in the long run rather than for the quarter-to-quarter numbers. I'm a fan of remote work. I worked with international teams. I know they can work well. But the negatives of too much offshoring should be balanced against the perceived positives. "To work remotely or not is no longer the question. Experts say it’s borderless hiring for technology roles that is stealing the conversation. 'Remote is like the gateway drug to borderless,' said Jeremy Johnson, CEO of AI-enabled tech talent marketplace Andela, whose customers include Goldman Sachs, Github and Coursera. 'Once you realize that you don’t have to all be in the same office five days a week in order to build a compelling culture and feel connected to the mission and solve complex problems, you then start thinking there are great people all over the world.'" https://lnkd.in/gg4mYkPW

The operative phrase here is “compelling culture”. Maintaining culture across borders, languages, and norms is a non-trivial exercise requiring both will and skill of leadership.
