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 labor 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 labor laws in the last six months. Despite the challenges, hiring managers remain undeterred.

Need to hire quickly? Find and hire the right candidate anywhere in the world with the new AI-powered Remote Recruit.

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 labor laws within the last six months

As companies expand their talent searches globally, navigating complex international labor 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 specialized 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 labor laws, compliance requirements, and HR-related factors can be daunting. It’s unsurprising then that 77% of businesses have faced issues with international labor laws within the last six months.

The burden is greater for companies attempting to handle localization 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 labor 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.

Global recruitment with Remote

The current state of play: Businesses are struggling to find qualified candidates while rising hiring costs and complex regulations slow hiring efforts. At the same time, applicants demand greater flexibility, driving competition.

That’s why we created Recruit — a new breakthrough combining powerful sourcing tools and clear guidance to help you find top talent and navigate global complexity so you can move fast, hire smarter, and scale confidently.

Global talent acquisition simplified with Recruit by Remote

Finding talent in new markets can be overwhelming, especially when traditional recruitment methods don’t translate globally. Recruit removes barriers by providing access to a vast global talent pool with advanced sourcing tools, AI, real-time data, and built-in compliance to simplify the hiring process from end to end.

  • Find the best talent faster: Search millions of qualified candidate profiles using intuitive, natural language queries.

  • Talent insights: Discover talent hotspots and pinpoint where to find top candidates for specific roles.

  • Post jobs in minutes: Advertise roles to applicants around the world on Remote’s job board.

  • AI-powered matches: Instantly surface best-fit candidates, cutting down time spent sifting through applications manually.

Compliant by default

International hiring usually means dealing with complicated labor laws, tricky tax regulations, and headache-inducing administrative hurdles. Recruit integrates directly with Remote’s Employer of Record Service, meaning you can hire like a local.

  • One-click onboarding: Hire employees compliantly in multiple countries with a single click.

  • Built-in compliance: We ensure all contracts, payroll, and benefits meet local regulations.

  • Integrated payroll & HR: Manage payments, taxes, and HR functions effortlessly.

An end-to-end international hiring solution

Forget about running multiple systems on top of one another. Recruit is an all-in-one solution, combining EOR, payroll, HRIS, performance management, and top-of-funnel recruitment tools into one easy-to-use platform.

  • Everything in one place: From finding your ideal candidate to managing month-to-month payroll once they’re on board.

  • Ultimate cost transparency: No hidden fees, just straightforward, usage-based pricing so you can keep track of your budget.

  • Enterprise-grade security: Remote’s tools are backed by top-tier data protection protocols, so sensitive company data stays in your hands.

Remote Recruiting Report survey methodology

In 2024, Remote surveyed 4,126 Business/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 to compile the survey data analyzed in this report.

In February 2025, Remote used real-time Horsefly data to analyze job role supply, demand, and hiring trends across 34 countries for 25 key roles.

For each role and location, the following metrics were pulled: 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 the metrics, Remote calculated a talent supply and demand 'hotspot' score to identify the locations where there is more talent than opportunities per country location. “-” indicates there was no data available via the tool.

Data points used for this report

The scoring for Difficulty to Hire and AI Impact are based on the following:

Difficulty of Hire
The Difficulty of Hire score illustrates how challenging it might be to fill a job role. Using Horsefly’s data, it looks at past and real-time trends, including available candidates (supply) and job openings (demand). It considers location, industry trends, 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: Lots of candidates and low competition — hiring is easy.
3–4: Moderate availability and demand — hiring should be straightforward.
5–6: Average difficulty — requires some effort, but it’s manageable.
7–8: Hard to fill — limited candidates or high competition. You’ll need to adjust your strategy.
9–10: Very challenging — scarce talent or high demand. Success may require significant planning or extra incentives.

AI Impact
The AI Impact Score shows how much AI could affect a specific job role using real-time data and skills analysis to categorize each role.

The skills focus are:
AI Promoters: Skills likely to be enhanced or replaced by AI.
AI Neutral: Skills that might see some AI influence but won’t fully change.
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 mostly unchanged.
30–49: Some tasks may shift, but the core role is unaffected.
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 key.
90–100: Severe impact. The role and its key tasks could undergo significant transformation soon.
