Remote Recruiting Report
How AI, remote work, and new laws are changing hiring markets
Where is the world's best talent?
38% of business leaders report talent acquisition as their biggest hiring challenge. Our global talent hotspot locator helps you find the world’s best regions for the most in-demand roles.
Demand for skilled employees continues to outpace supply across multiple sectors, with tech, finance, business, and online retail among the most heavily affected. At the same time, there remains a vast pool of qualified talent unable to access these opportunities due to geographic limitations. This paradox is the defining challenge of the modern labour market, driving companies to cast wider nets for talent while relying on AI and other emerging technologies to stay efficient.
The world’s top talent is rarely found on your doorstep. However, international recruitment isn’t without its challenges. Our recent survey of more than 4,000 business and HR leaders (responsible for the recruitment of staff) found that 77% reported troubles navigating international employment laws in the last six months. Despite the challenges, hiring managers remain undeterred.

Global hiring trends: The state of borderless talent acquisition
Employer of Record (EOR) services are steadily transforming the perception that international hiring is unfeasible, making global talent more accessible than ever. And just as well — in 2025, companies can scarcely afford to restrict their talent searches to domestic markets. The increasing rarity of locally-based specialists, rising employee costs, and the disruptive force of AI have transformed global talent acquisition from a luxury to a necessity.
To map the current state of international hiring, we surveyed more than 4,000 business and HR leaders (director level and above) with decision-making responsibility for the recruitment of staff across the UK, USA, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Sweden, South Korea, and Japan.
73%
73% of hiring leaders say they’ve lost employees to companies offering greater flexibility
With remote and hybrid working options considered the new standard among workers, flexible working options are now a key attractor among the most skilled candidates.
77%
77% of businesses have faced issues with international employment laws within the last six months
As companies expand their talent searches globally, navigating complex international labour regulations has become a major hurdle, often delaying hiring processes and adding additional layers of complexity.
38%
38% of hiring leaders report difficulties finding candidates with the right skills
As skill gaps widen across industries, businesses are struggling to fill critical roles, making it essential to expand talent searches beyond local markets.
41%
41% of office-based businesses are struggling to find candidates with the right skills
31%
Only 31% of remote workplaces struggle to find candidates with the right skills
Remote models are finding it easier to tap into a broader talent pool, making it less challenging to find qualified candidates with the right skills compared to traditional office-based businesses.
What other challenges does the business world face concerning talent acquisition? And more importantly, does the evidence prove that a borderless hiring approach is the solution?
Hiring managers are struggling to find skilled candidates locally
Industry-wide, businesses are facing widening skill gaps, with 38% of hiring leaders reporting difficulties finding qualified candidates. In fact, 65% of recruiters report a surge in under-qualified applicants while 74% of businesses say the surge in under-qualified applicants is a significant issue.
Traditional, office-based workplaces are feeling this challenge most acutely — 41% are struggling to find skilled applicants, compared to only 31% of remote workplaces.
The shift towards remote and hybrid work has proven to be more than a perk for employees, with our survey finding flexibility directly improves hiring outcomes. Businesses offering remote roles report a higher quality of job candidates (26%), expanded access to specialised talent (24%), and higher offer acceptance rates (24%).
Rising operational costs make acquiring top talent expensive
Budget constraints are another major obstacle for hiring managers. 20% of businesses cite budget limitations for advertising roles as a key challenge, while 38% have faced increased recruitment expenses due to longer-than-average hiring times.
Global, remote hiring presents a cost-effective alternative. 31% of respondents reported reduced overhead as a benefit of operating remotely, while 23% noted a reduced cost of talent. Businesses that expand their hiring strategies beyond domestic markets also stand to increase their chances of securing top candidates, with 24% expanding a role’s location requirement in a bid to acquire the most highly skilled candidates.
Employees are seeking a greater life-work balance
More than ever, life-work balance is a priority. Companies that don’t offer flexibility are rapidly losing talent to those that do. 73% of hiring leaders say they’ve lost employees to companies offering greater flexibility, and 84% confirmed a growing candidate demand for flexible work options overall.
For those who embrace remote and hybrid models, the advantages are clear. Businesses offering “work from anywhere” benefits report higher employee satisfaction (24%) and enhanced life-work balance (38%). Meanwhile, benefits experienced by operating remotely include increased employee satisfaction (40%) and productivity (39%).
Scaling in new markets requires local expertise
Expanding into international markets can be a complex process without a local entity. Navigating local employment laws, compliance requirements, and HR-related factors can be daunting. It’s unsurprising then that 77% of businesses have faced issues with international employment laws within the last six months.
The burden is greater for companies attempting to handle localisation challenges in-house. 57% of those struggling with compliance were managing hiring through their own entity, without an Employer of Record. Those who reported challenges said an EOR could’ve made the hiring process quicker (47%), while 45% claimed it would’ve given a better understanding of foreign employment laws, and 40% said it would’ve reduced compliance risks.
AI is changing the face of international recruitment
82% of global businesses expect to hire more staff this year. To hire top talent, 29% implement pre-screening assessments, 28% partner with specialized recruiting firms, and 27% revisit qualifications for roles.
AI is also a popular tool for simplifying hiring, but it comes with its challenges. Businesses now spend an average of 9.24 days sorting through irrelevant applications per role due to AI-generated CVs. As a result, 39% of businesses have been forced to reduce the time spent reviewing each application due to the sheer volume of AI-generated resumes. Further, 73% of businesses have received AI-generated resumes in the past six months containing false information, while a quarter of businesses say they frequently receive more applicants than they can handle.
If you’re planning to launch a global hiring campaign, you need a way of ensuring you’re only connecting to genuine, qualified candidates. For example, Recruit uses AI-powered sourcing and match tools so you can instantly connect with a curated pool of global talent based on skills, availability, and salary fit.
Remote Global Talent Hotspot Locator
More than ever, hiring managers want to harness the power of global talent acquisition; but grappling with localization issues, adapting to the challenges posed by AI, and managing the ever-evolving demands of candidates is no small feat.
To address this, we’ve developed a talent locator that pinpoints the best regions for sourcing talent across the most in-demand roles.
By analyzing data from 34 countries across 25 key job roles, we’ve compiled insights on candidate availability, average salary, hiring difficulty, AI impact, and experience levels — giving you the edge when it comes to finding the best international applicants.
These are the factors we considered:
Average salary (USD): How affordable is it to hire here?
Difficulty to hire: How difficult is it to secure talent here?
Available talent (Supply: Talent vs Demand: Job Adverts): How many candidates are there compared to local job openings?
Experience level: What % of the talent pool has 8 or more years of experience?
AI impact: How likely is the role to be impacted by AI here?
Across all 34 countries reviewed, we can build a snapshot of the global talent trends across the roles in our study. Below is a summary, benchmarking each role against its total global talent pool, available opportunities, and averages. You can see how the roles stack up against core details including their average salary, candidate experience, difficulty to hire, and estimated impact of AI.

Remote Recruiting Report survey methodology
In 2024, Remote surveyed 4,126 business and HR leaders (director level and above) with hiring decision responsibility across the UK, USA, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Sweden, South Korea, and Japan to produce the data analysed in this report.
In February 2025, Remote analysed real-time Horsefly data to assess job role supply, demand, and hiring trends for 25 key roles across 34 countries.
For every role and country, we extracted: Total candidates, Average salary (converted to USD), Total job adverts, Difficulty to hire, AI impact, and Experience (% of talent pool with 8+ years of relevant experience). Using these metrics, Remote derived a talent supply-and-demand ‘hotspot’ score to show where talent outstrips opportunities by location. “-” denotes missing data from the tool.
Data points used for this report
The scoring for Difficulty to Hire and AI Impact uses the following definitions:
Difficulty of hire
This difficulty score estimates how hard it may be to fill a role. Based on Horsefly data, it factors in historical and current trends such as candidate supply and job openings, while taking into account location, industry dynamics, and competition.
The result is a score from 1 to 10:
1 = Easy to hire
10 = Very challenging to hire
What the 1–10 scale means:
1–2: Many candidates and low competition — hiring is easy.
3–4: Moderate supply and demand — hiring should be straightforward.
5–6: Average difficulty — some effort required, but manageable.
7–8: Hard to fill — few candidates or high competition; strategy adjustment needed.
9–10: Very challenging — scarce talent or strong demand; success may require extensive planning or extra incentives.
AI impact
The AI Impact Score indicates how much AI could affect a particular role, using live data and skills analysis to classify each position.
The skills focus are:
AI promoters: Skills likely to be enhanced or replaced by AI.
AI neutral: Skills that may see some AI influence but are unlikely to be fully transformed.
AI detractors: Skills unlikely to be affected by AI.
The result is a score from -100 to 100:
-100 = No major AI impact
100 = Severe AI impact
What the -100–100 scale means:
-100 to 9: No major AI impact — these roles are stable and unlikely to change soon.
10–29: Minimal AI influence — the role remains largely unchanged.
30–49: Some tasks may shift, though the core role remains intact.
50–69: Moderate impact — certain tasks could be automated, requiring upskilling.
70–89: High impact — many tasks may change, so early planning and adaptation are important.
90–100: Severe impact — roles and key responsibilities could undergo major transformation soon.
