Unlocking the Global Talent Code: The Breaking Way and Practical Strategy of Overseas Talent Recruitment for Enterprises

Unlocking the Global Talent Code: The Way to Breakthrough and Practical Strategies for Overseas Talent Recruitment of Enterprises

Driven by the intensification of globalization competition and the acceleration of technological iteration, the demand of enterprises for overseas talents with international vision, cross-cultural communication ability and cutting-edge technological experience continues to rise. From the optimization of artificial intelligence algorithms to the breakthrough of new energy technologies, from cross-border brand operation to the reconstruction of global supply chain, the addition of overseas talents is becoming a key variable for enterprises to break through the technological barriers and explore the international market. However, cross-border recruitment faces challenges such as cultural differences, policy barriers and channel fragmentation, and enterprises need to build a globalized talent ecosystem through systematic strategies. In this article, we will analyze the core methodology of overseas talent recruitment from the four dimensions of demand matching, accurate reach, compliance management and cultural integration.

I. Accurate Matching of Demand: From “Generalized” to “Scenario-based” Talent Portrait

(A) Technical Scenarios

In order to break through the bottleneck of the 7nm chip process, a semiconductor company has recruited overseas engineers with experience in TSMC, Samsung, and other headline companies to develop the Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) process, which is the most advanced technology in the world. The development of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) process optimization program to improve yield by 12%, product competitiveness jumped to the forefront of the industry. Technical positions need to focus on “segmentation + project experience”, for example:

Artificial Intelligence: Priority is given to algorithm experts who are familiar with frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc., and whose models can be compatible with multi-language datasets, thus lowering the cost of cross-region adaptation.

Biomedical: Introducing R&D personnel with experience in FDA/EMA certification to accelerate the development of new drugs and technologies. Biomedicine: introduce R&D personnel with FDA/EMA certification to accelerate the clinical trials and listing process of new drugs and shorten the product commercialization cycle.

（A cross-border e-commerce company hires an operations director familiar with the Southeast Asian market, whose strategy of “localized product selection + social e-commerce fission” has led to a 200% increase in GMV in the Indonesian market, and a 45% increase in the repurchase rate of users. Market positions need to match the ability of “regional insight + resource integration”, for example:

Latin American market: looking for operation talents familiar with the rules of Mercado Libre, Shopee and other platforms, to quickly establish a localized supply chain and reduce logistics costs;

Middle East market: bringing in experts with experience in the operation of luxury brands to promote the transformation of Chinese brands to high-end and enhance the quality of Chinese products; Middle East market: bringing in experts with experience in the operation of luxury brands to promote the transformation of Chinese brands to high-end and enhance the quality of Chinese products. Middle East market: introduce experts with experience in operating luxury brands to promote the transformation of Chinese brands to high-end and enhance the premium space.

Data support: after technical overseas talents are on board, the average number of patent applications of enterprises will be increased by 28%; after marketing talents are introduced, the revenue growth rate of overseas business can be up to 1.6 times of the average level of the industry.

Efficient Reaching Channels: Building a Global Talent Network

(I) Deep Penetration of Vertical Scenarios

International Industry Summits

A robotics enterprise launched the “Human-Machine Collaboration Challenge” through the World Robotics Congress, successfully attracted five German industrial automation experts, and the flexible production line developed by the enterprise improved productivity by 35%, and accelerated the response time to customers' customized demands by 50%. The flexible production line developed by the company has increased production efficiency by 35% and accelerated the response time to customized customer needs by 50%.

Open Source Community Operation

A technology company launched the “AI Model Lightweight Collaboration Project” on GitHub, and recruited three Russian algorithm engineers. The model compression technology developed by the company increased the inference speed by 3 times, and the related paper was included in NeurIPS.

Joint Cultivation with Universities

By building laboratories with ETH Zurich, National University of Singapore and other universities, a new energy enterprise has locked 8 PhD students in advance, and the solid-state battery technology it developed has entered the pilot stage, with an energy density of more than 500Wh/kg.

Recommended Tools: Use Linking's “Global Talent Insight” function to identify and analyze talent through the “Skill Set + Project Experience” function. Using Linking's “Global Talent Insight” function, we can accurately locate candidates with multinational project experience through the two-dimensional screening of “skill sets + project experience”.

(II) Cross-border resource integration

Government Talent Program

Participating in the “Suzhou Industrial Park International Talent Port” project, a biotechnology company obtained policy support and successfully introduced American gene editing experts, whose CRISPR-Cas9 optimization tool increased experimental efficiency by 40%, and the number of related patents increased by 4 times.

Professional headhunter cooperation

Appointed a headhunter company specializing in science and technology to conduct executive search, an autonomous driving company locked two German perception algorithm experts who met the requirements within 8 weeks, shortening the recruitment cycle by 55% compared with the traditional way, and increasing the efficiency of project promotion by 40% after joining the company.

Employee internal promotion mechanism

set up a “global talent recommendation award”, an Internet company introduced 15 Silicon Valley engineers through the social network of employees, the related product user growth rate increased by 30%, and won the Sequoia Capital 100 million yuan financing.

Case: Huawei introduced overseas talents from 3% to 18% in 5 years through the dual channels of “internal promotion by employees and cooperation with universities”, and the number of innovative proposals from the team increased by 5 times.
