vs. buy talent”

20% to 70%

l The workforce is less standardized – different types, countries, cultures,
functions, levels of mobility …

purely local companies, competes
l The talent battle has gone global already
l Governmental & state competition

executive positions to fill. After briefing Neumann International, I received
shortlists of suitable candidates much quicker than expected. I was sure, even
after the first round of interviews in the first country, that we would find strong
candidates. Thanks to their rapid response and excellent candidates, we
placed the right employees in a short period of time.”
