The movement of employees across continents in the modern day job world coupled with the mobility of most organisations moment has made global sourcing an important part of recruitment. The success of a global sourcing faces steep challenges of intensive and competitive nature, this has heralded the wave of internet sourcing as a viable medium to achieve success for most organisations. Given the adaptable functionalities of web medium. Let us focus on these two essential issues
1. Relationships between the internet and global sourcing
2. How does internet help global sourcing to perform better
The relationships between internet and global sourcing needs to be addressed from different perspectives multinational companies should be fosucing on .
1. Mobility, Space and Time
2. The scope of the business (ROI)
3. The changing face of the job search market
The advantages of internet sourcing for organisations hiring top talents globally lie in the enhancement of components internet sourcing can provide and the effects of the source strategy. Secondly, it provides a platform for communication between employers in any part of the world and global talent market to facilitate interaction; it also holds the key role to the success of such organisations as well. Eventually, the effect and integration of global sourcing with internet techniques can provide companies with a significant improvement in terms of outcomes (ROI).
No doubt, globalisation of the job market is delivering solution based “scalability” requirements that multinational organizations demand as they try to find the best employees and leaders to drive their vision and provide a solid foundation for the future of their companies. Multinationals, benefits from the functionality the internet sourcing platform provides in terms of enhanced flexibility, global reach, Opportunity to promote their brand to job seekers, added value structures and real-time transactions between the potential partners. Strategic global sourcing by multinational companies provides the necessary wherewithal to be competitive in their market.
Misconceptions by multinational CEO’s, CFO’s and Human resources Directors about internet sourcing potentially prevent companies from leveraging the awesome advantages of this method to effectively increase their ability to find the top calibre candidate globally.
Furthermore, multinational companies need to remember that unproductive internet sourcing can leave a damaging effect on their global sourcing drive. However, as truth would have it, multinational companies prepared to invest in developing the required internet sourcing skills to support global sourcing can succeed.
The significance of internet sourcing techniques (Social Media, Search Engines, Networking, Blogging etc) doesn’t dwell on how and where, but more on why and what to source for using the internet. The transformation of multinational companies, SME etc from the present mindset to internet sourcing may seem to be time consuming initially, but once set up and the relevant skills required to succeed are imparted to the consultants then it becomes a very low cost but highly effective way of find, attract and also retaining the best candidates in the market place globally. Despite basic problems, most organisations are moving on to adapt internet sourcing tools and techniques as the most popular method for securing the future of their organisation by making sure they hire the best talents in the market place.
