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.
