Recruiting: A Global Perspective
For some positions, the whole world is a relevant labor market.
Parent (Home) country nationals are recruited when an organization is searching for someone with extensive company experience to launch a very technical product in a country where it has never sold before.
Recruiting: A Global Perspective
Host-country nationals (HCNs) are targeted as recruits when companies want each foreign subsidiary to have its own distinct national identity.
HCN’s minimize potential problems with language, family adjustment and hostile political environments.
