Global hiring doesn’t wind down at the end of the year. If anything, it gets busier. Teams are trying to lock in January start dates, close out payroll in multiple countries, and figure out what next year’s headcount actually looks like, all before the holidays hit.
In this 30-minute session, host Leah Cottham sits down with two people who see it all from the front line: Cristina Sciortino, Senior Manager, Customer Success (Strategic), who works with RemoFirst’s larger accounts, and Tanya Golovatyuk, Senior Manager, Scaled Customer Success, who spots the patterns across a high volume of growing teams. Between them, they’ll share what’s really happening in global hiring this quarter and what you can do about it.
What we’ll cover:
- What’s changed this quarter: The questions customers are asking now compared to six months ago, and which countries are suddenly coming up more
- First international hires: The most common scenario for smaller teams making their first hire in a new country
- The December reality check: 13th-month pay in places like the Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico, earlier payroll cut-offs, holiday closures, and unused annual leave rules
- Why January hires start now: Notice periods in some countries run to three months, so offers need to go out sooner than you think
- Planning for 2027: How bigger companies are approaching headcount and budgets for next year
- Mistakes and myths: The biggest misconceptions about hiring internationally, when to convert contractors into employees, and when to set up your own entity versus staying with an Employer of Record (EOR)
You’ll leave with one thing every team should do before December 31, plus the 2027 opportunity our speakers think most companies are sleeping on.
When: Thursday, October 29 at 3PM GMT / 4PM CET / 11AM EDT

One small flag: I kept the long description pre-event (registration-focused) since the session is still in Planning. Once it’s recorded, I can flip it into replay-style show notes with real takeaways and any customer stories Cristina and Tanya share.
