Global Hiring Planner

Our goal is to help you find the best places in the world to hire top talent. The Global Employment Country Selector generates matches based on your desired budget, the employment factors that are most important to you (if specified), and time zone proximity (if specified).

First our algorithm takes cost into consideration. We take the lowest number in the average salary range for the role type/country and add mandatory employment taxes to that amount to ensure it does not go over your stated budget.

Then we look at the employment factors that are most important to you (based on the options you have selected) and try to find the best matches among the countries that fit in your budget.

If you have specified a desired time zone, we will look for countries as close as possible to that time zone, within +/- 4 hours.

If you are not satisfied with your results, you can update your budget or other factors and run the calculator again.

If the Global Employment Country Selector is not offering any matches, it might be because of your budget or your desired time zone.

You can try updating one or both of these (or deselect desired time zone) and run the calculator again. If you are not happy with your matches, you can also try updating the employment factors that are most important to you and run the calculator again for new results.
