The close relationship among economic change,
recruitment strategies and its impact on local workers whether they are highly
skilled or not is showed and explained in this article. Population aging, the
rising demand for talent in emerging economies and increasing cross-border
employment opportunities is what drives global demand for highly skilled
workers which are all intensifying the competition for talent. The variety of
policies and practices reflecting corporation’s goals in the absence of an
international consensus on global policy frameworks and national governments
and values is discussed in this chapter. The supply and demand factors converge
in the selection of foreign skills which is the trend in national recruitment
strategies and shows clearly in the direction of hybrid arrangements and values
migrants’ long-term contributions to the receiving country through the
supply-driven point’s system values. The abilitiesy of migrants to fill labor shortages are
emphasized by demand driven systems to fill labor shortages.
