Due to the globalization of the economy, organizations continue to move beyond national borders. This is reflected in international collaborations, joint ventures, strategic alliances, mergers, and acquisitions. As a consequence, it is necessary for organizations to view the labor market in an international scope. In addition, there is a need for HR systems that can be used across multiple countries while at the same time recognizing local particularities (Schuler, Dowling, & DeCieri, 1993). One of these HR challenges is selecting people in an international labor market.
