Has the pandemic changed the way employers are hiring beyond geographic borders ?

Remote work, reliance on technology for virtual office spaces and increased digitisation of all work processes are inevitably going to characterise careers and job profiles in the coming months and years. Organisations have invariably come to recognise the many benefits that lie shrouded beneath the surface of remote work.

In the midst of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that has gripped the entire nation, the multifarious facets of life as we know it has undergone a drastic change. With lockdowns imposed and economies brought to a grinding halt, the very definitions of education, learning and employment have been altered. As people across the country and worldwide adjust to this new ‘normal', the traditional concept of the workplace as a physical, tangible environment needs to be rethought. With the social distancing measures and restrictions that are currently in place, work, hiring processes and the way organisations are structured are no longer what they once were. Companies and firms, across sectors, are rapidly making changes to adapt to the requirements these times present us with.

While it is a long trudge forward as we work towards a better future without the threat of the virus looming over us, with the vaccine here, there is hope that things will gradually return to the ‘normal’ we were accustomed to. However, certain changes like working from home and hiring beyond geographic borders may be the silver lining that this pandemic has given us, something we may decide to hang on to even once things start looking better.
