Hiring Globally in 2026: How to expand fast without compliance headaches
Expanding into new markets brings opportunity and complexity.
As your organisation grows across borders, the pressure is on to hire faster while keeping up with local laws, payroll requirements, and evolving regulations. Small missteps can slow you down or create risk that’s hard to unwind later.
Join HiBob and Multiplier for a focused, practical session designed for HR teams on navigating global growth.
What you’ll learn
In this short talk, hear from Jacob Li, Founder and Principal Consultant of Cultural Compass, a Singapore-based cross-cultural consulting firm focused on organisational development and international talent strategy. We’ll unpack what’s changed in global hiring and where teams lose time, money, and momentum.Â
You’ll walk away with practical ways to:
- Hire in new markets without setting up local entities
- Navigate compliance requirements with more clarity and confidence
- Avoid common missteps that slow down expansion
- Build a people operations foundation that supports growth across regions
After the session, stay for informal networking with HR peers.
Share how your team is approaching global hiring, hear what’s working for others, and build connections with people solving similar challenges.
