"Borderless hiring" in tech has already been a thing and it seems to be accelerating both in terms of onshoring talent and offshoring it. The following article speaks about it: https://lnkd.in/gQTMTmAf What does it mean for the average American worker trying to find a job in tech? It means it will become increasingly more difficult than it already is. You have to be prepared to be married to your computer. In other words, you need to be studying nonstop to be EXCELLENT at your job and you will have to continue to develop an ultra strong network, aka staying visible on Linkedin to be able to weather the storm. If you've been banging your head against the wall trying to get into tech for a long time and haven't found any success or if you've been out of work for a very long time, you may want to consider making a transition, at least over the short term. I don't see the tech market becoming less volatile any time soon and if you don't have the experience or connections, it's going to be very tough to find a job in tech. It doesn't make sense allowing yourself to be impoverished trying to hold out for the tech dream. Make money elsewhere, and if you really want to be in tech, do it in your spare time and come back in the market when it improves and more opportunities abound. Those who are already in or have made a transition to 'the trades' seem like they are in a solid position for a while because you can't immediately offshore those jobs, but then again, I could be wrong. If you're in one of these trades, let me know how the market is. In conclusion, we've already shipped our manufacturing out and now we're trying to do the same with tech. Soon, America will have no real domestic expertise. What will we become? A nation of managers who oversee talented foreign workers? That will work until they decide to just rid themselves of the American management layer and instead create their own companies and domestic products with their experienced and talented workforce. There will also be no one to buy these domestic products because nobody will have any money to do so. I think it'd be a good idea for the average American to think about making the migration elsewhere and start thinking beyond just living in America.

CEOs are shifting from traditional remote work to a "borderless" talent strategy, enabling companies to hire the best global talent regardless of location. This approach not only widens the talent pool but also enhances diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. As businesses adapt, they must address challenges like pay equity and cultural integration to fully benefit from this new paradigm. “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.” said Jeremy Johnson , CEO of AI-enabled tech talent marketplace Andela, whose customers include Goldman Sachs, Github and Coursera. #RemoteWork #BorderlessTalent #GlobalWorkforce #TechJobs #FutureOfWork https://lnkd.in/dmgq5ans

Expanding Hiring Horizons: Embracing Global Talent International hiring across borders for tech roles is eclipsing traditional remote work trends, according to industry experts. Jeremy Johnson, CEO of Andela, notes that remote setups have paved the way for global hiring strategies. This shift is driven by tech companies aiming for innovation and efficiency beyond national borders, with Gartner reporting a doubling in borderless tech hiring over the last three years. Overall, borderless hiring aligns with the trend toward globalisation in business operations and reflects the evolving nature of work in the digital age. It enables companies to optimize resources, access specialized skills, foster innovation, and adapt to global market dynamics more effectively. Most importantly borderless hiring gives organisations access to worldwide talent and allows companies to tap into a vast pool of skilled workers, rather than being restricted to local or national markets. This opens up opportunities to find specialised skills that may be scarce or in high demand in specific regions. China, Vietnam, India, and The Philippines now surpass traditional tech hubs in The USA like San Francisco and New York in talent availability, highlighting global growth. Business leaders like Payoneer CEO John Caplan emphasizes the practicalities needed to support globalised work, underscoring the importance of tools and infrastructure. Meanwhile, Adam Jackson from Braintrust champions a fully decentralised model where international engineers collaborate seamlessly on projects for clients ranging from NASA to Nestlé. Despite challenges such as time zone differences and regulatory complexities, leaders agree on the necessity for tailored approaches to borderless hiring. They foresee continued integration of AI and data regulations shaping global workforce dynamics, potentially favoring emerging regions like Africa. Major cities across Africa, such as Nairobi (Kenya), Cape Town (South Africa), Lagos (Nigeria), and Accra (Ghana), are emerging as vibrant tech hubs. These cities host an ever growing number of startups, tech incubators, and innovation centers, fostering a conducive environment for tech talent to thrive. In conclusion, while borderless hiring promises expanded talent pools and cost efficiencies, its implementation requires careful management of logistical and regulatory considerations.

"With tech leaders focusing concurrently on innovation and value-driven efficiency, tech hiring that eclipses national or even global time zone delineation is a growing phenomenon. Borderless tech hiring has doubled in the last three years, according to Gartner’s 2023 CEO Survey. By 2022, the tech talent workforce in cities like Beijing and Delhi far outweighed that of U.S. powerhouses like San Francisco and New York, reports CBRE Global Tech Talent Guidebook 2024. The report cites burgeoning tech talent markets like Bucharest, Romania; Cape Town, South Africa; Cebu City, Philippines; Nairobi, Kenya and more." "...European Union’s standard-setting regulatory framework will make it tough for tech operations to thrive. As more regulatory and case law settles around the globe surrounding AI and data, cross-border employment trends will shift like puzzle pieces." “I think Europe is going to have a really tough time over the next few years,” he said. “They’re pushing a lot of data innovation out of the continent, and I think that’s an opportunity for Africa and Latin America and other parts of the world.” https://lnkd.in/dmgq5ans
