Global hiring platform Multiplier has released a report detailing shifts in international recruitment strategies, based on an analysis of over 38,000 cross-border hires. The findings highlight a fundamental transition in how organizations manage their global workforces.
The data indicates that commercial roles are currently outpacing technology positions in hiring volume, suggesting a strategic pivot toward revenue-generating functions.
