Abstract

In a highly competitive talent market, organisations need to capture the talents of globally mobile highly-skilled workers. Occasionally, however, this pool of talent is lost to organisations since they do not have appropriate systems in place to secure global talent. Instead of global job seekers being placed into occupations commensurate with their qualifications and experience, they accept posts for which they are overqualified and which do not utilise their full set of skills. The research conducted for this chapter interviewed respondents from eight nation states. The respondents were selected from a talent pool of people who were highly educated and also had the right of freedom of movement throughout the EU. Hence, the selected research sample provided a focus group of highly talented and mobile professionals whose qualifications and mobility status should enable them to secure professional positions in a global talent environment. The research conducted indicated that organisations need to do more to capture talent in a globally competitive environment
