11:00 AM Design a Location-Agnostic Hiring Strategy to Build Talent

As global work models evolve, shared services leaders are reimagining their approach to talent acquisition—prioritizing skills over geography to unlock broader access to capabilities. According to SSON Research & Analytics, 26% of GBS organizations are now hiring in a location-agnostic manner, a steadily growing trend compared to the 37% that still recruit only within a commutable distance. This session explores how to build a truly borderless talent engine that drives agility, diversity, and competitiveness across regions. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Structure hiring systems that emphasize skills, flexibility, and business alignment over physical location 
  • Navigate onboarding, development, and performance management for geographically distributed teams 
  • Drive upskilling strategies that maintain enterprise standards while supporting regional adaptability
