Advantages of employing local talents

relcap23 · Sep 15, 2023

Some companies prefer employing local talents due to any or all of the following:

1. Local employees often have a better understanding of the local market, culture, and customer preferences. This can be invaluable in serving local customers effectively.

2. Hiring local talent can be more cost-effective due to lower relocation and compensation expenses compared to expats.

3. Local employees are typically fluent in the local language(s), which can be essential for effective communication and customer service.

4. Employing locals can contribute to the long-term sustainability of a business in the local community, as it demonstrates a commitment to the region.

There are occasions though that expats may be hired for some special skills required by the company but in most cases these are temporary in nature and they are hired on a per project base.

It is what the local government or community want and it's part of the agreement before conducting the plants or companies to hire only the locals to support the families and have them experience better living. But there are multi national companies that hire expats according to the skills and work background.

Many companies prefer to hire locals to keep the local politicians happy, since the local people are the votebank for the politicians . For migrants hiring locals is risky, because the locals may file fake cases.

Yes, some companies hire expats for specialized skills and their global perspective where the company can benefit from their diverse experience and in terms of international business context. Expats can also align with the culture of the parent organisation like for example the company in our town have Japanese expats and they bring with them the Japanese work culture.

True Japanese work attitude is exemplary. Our company used to manufacture garments for JC Penney,one of the popular stores in the USA, of which the technical person who serve as conduit between us and the store was a Japanese. This Japanese guy is very meticulous and you can see how focused is he on the job especially checking items carefully.

I just feel sad on reports that some giant companies based in USA are employing local talents in China and exposing them to work hazards. They employ young people from the provinces and giving them living quarters not fit for humans.

That is true and take note that these companies are known brands globally. One buyer of ours in the garment industry stopped giving us orders because they transferred to Bangladesh due to high cost of labor in my country.

What you say is very true, apart from that, employing local talent will also make the company's existence respected by the community. Because there is a mutually beneficial relationship between the community and the company.

That is correct, remember that the. officials of the host community will always have the say in regulating companies and Businesses within their area of jurisdiction, so it is better that's this company will always localized their workers.

It depends on area of specialization. In some field, it may be difficult to find local talents that have required skills to fit in. The only advantage of engaging local talents is that their service may be cheap and affordable. Apart from that, i don't see any other benefit.

One major advantage of employing local talent is that they would be able to easily reach out to the community. The community would also be able to easily trust your company and brand without worry cause they have their person working for you.

Most companies prefer to hire local talents as they are well versed in local culture and market. However, there are situations where companies need to hire expats for specialized skills.

Your points are real. The thi g is that hiring local talent can be more cost-effective. The employers need to know that they will enjoy that due to lower relocation and compensation expenses for locals.

You would get to pay local talents in your local currency than having to find a way to source for foreign currency to pay international talents.
