Therefore, it becomes a keen responsibility of the human resource management to assign the right duties to the right candidate and at the right time. The candidates for the job are chosen on the basis of their skills, ability to perform, qualification, talent, aptitude, management, and other such criteria.With the increasing unemployment ratio and competition, it has become a challenge for the human resource managers to pick the right candidate. Earlier, the process of staffing was done verbally. But, today the scene is completely different.

Recruitment consultant defines different types of global employees: Expatriate – an expatriate is a person who is not the citizen of the country in which he/she is working with an organization, but is a citizen of the country in which the headquarter of an organization is located. Host country national – The employees under this category are people who are working in an organization which is located in the same country of which they are the citizen of. But, the organization is headquartered in another country.
