On a call with my VP of global services, and they’re saying the quiet part out loud.

A Troubling Trend in Talent Acquisition: Reflections from the Frontlines

In a recent conversation with my Vice President of Global Services, I was struck by an unsettling honesty. The discussion veered into the realm of talent acquisition strategies, revealing a troubling inclination not just towards finding the most cost-effective candidates, but also towards selecting locations based on the leniency of their labor protection laws.

Is this a trend anyone else has noticed in their organizations? As I wrap up my final week at my current company, I find myself reflecting on the implications of these practices and feeling hopeful about the potential for more principled opportunities ahead. Here’s to navigating towards environments that value transparency and fair treatment for all.
