Where more stringent migration laws exist, HR may have a limited talent pool from which to hire, often making it challenging to hire the right people. In countries with looser policies, HR will have to define hiring strategies and outreach programs to be able to tap into the larger workforce pool.
As well as integrating different cultures and nationalities into their workforce, HR will have to grasp the intricacies of migration legislation to ensure that its employees are allowed to participate legally in the workforce. Getting acquainted and abiding by migration laws is not only a costly process, often requiring the hiring of many lawyers and exorbitant visa fees, but often a very complex one, with both policies and national sentiments continuing to fluctuate.
