In this episode of RMIT University FORWARD Hot Takes, Peter Thomas talks to RMIT Industry Fellows Serafina Maiorano, global leadership strategist and founder of Our Global Table, and Stowe Boyd, work ecologist and founder of Work Futures, about what happens when the centre of opportunity for skilled work shifts—not just away from traditional industries, but away from the West entirely. For decades, high-value jobs in sectors like engineering, tech, and finance were concentrated in cities like Sydney, Boston, and London. But that's changing. Companies aren't just outsourcing anymore: they're building their workforces where the talent already is - in places like India, where over a million engineers graduate each year. In the last few years, tech giants have expanded their presence in Indian cities because of access to skilled talent at scale, which many Western countries are struggling to provide. Meanwhile, immigration policies have tightened, making it increasingly difficult for foreign professionals to relocate to the West. Are we witnessing a global inversion of opportunity? Could it soon make more sense for young professionals to study and work in Bangalore, not Boston? To learn more about RMIT FORWARD, and our 50+ global ecosystem of world-class Industry Fellows who we assemble into fluid teams to work as strategic partners with organisations to ensure they have the right help when they need it, head to https://rmit-forward.org

"When I discuss with senior leaders, interview them, or assess them for senior roles, they often come to me, and I ask them: 'What makes you unique? How do you see yourself?' Eighty percent of them tell me what they can't do. They talk about their development needs, and I say, 'Is that how you pitch yourself? Is that what you really bring to the table? You sit with a headhunter and tell me what you can't do—why not tell me what you're really good at?' Your exceptional value-add, your competitive advantage—that's what makes an impact, not what you cannot do. Development needs require a mitigation strategy, yes, but I believe that focusing on your unique strengths will take you further in your career." - Mark Reinecke Fresh out of the studio, Mark Reinecke, SVP of Top Executive Management and Talent Acquisition at Airbus, shares his approach to the full life cycle of global talent management from acquisition to development and retention. Starting from his career journey, Mark shared his experiences and mental models in recruiting, developing and retaining top talent while emphasized how the STAR program in Airbus can gather experts from areas outside of Airbus to provide different perspectives on how the aviation industry can learn from best practices in other industries given the emerging technologies.

Hiring global talent is no longer just for massive corporations—it's a game-changer for small and mid-sized businesses, too.

Send us a textIn our latest episode, guided by Kaleem Clarkson and guest co-host Josh Morse, we dive deep into the fascinating path of Joshua Parkinson, founder of Post Planner, a SaaS platform revolutionizing social media management. From street performer to philosopher to tech entrepreneur, Joshua's journey embodies adaptability, creativity, and resilience. This conversation explores his unconventional path, philosophies on work and leadership, and strategies for building a thriving remote-first business in the digital age.Joshua's story begins with a degree in philosophy, which continues to shape his worldview. These academic interests fueled his creativity during a transformative period living in Europe, where he supported himself by rapping on the streets. This phase, filled with spontaneity and cultural immersion, also brought personal growth and love—it was during this time that he met his French wife.Flash-forward to 2009, when Joshua embarked on his entrepreneurial journey with the inception of Post Planner. Inspired by the rise of social media platforms like Facebook, he identified a gap in the market for scheduling tools tailored to marketers. What began as a suite of Facebook apps quickly evolved into a flagship product, now serving businesses across eight social platforms, with Facebook remaining a core focus.A significant part of Post Planner's success lies in Joshua's ability to forge meaningful partnerships. Early on, he collaborated with Slav, a Bulgarian developer who built the platform's first version. This partnership not only provided technical expertise but also demonstrated the value of leveraging global talent. Today, Post Planner's development team remains based in Bulgaria, a testament to the enduring impact of this early collaboration.Post Planner's innovative approach to work centers on asynchronous communication, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional, meeting-heavy environments. By minimizing interruptions and embracing tools like Slack, the fully remote team maintains a strong focus on output while preserving work-life balance. This model eliminates time zone conflicts—like late-night calls for overseas colleagues—and replaces micromanagement with trust and autonomy.Joshua, as the company's founder, champions this method, driven by his distaste for inefficient synchronous workflows. While acknowledging initial concerns about team cohesion, he highlights how written communication fosters thoughtful contributions and builds a culture of autonomy. Employees are free to balance personal and professional priorities without rigid oversight, fostering loyalty and engagement. For startups, he argues, this flexible model reduces costs, unlocks global talent, and drives efficiency—key advantages in today's remote-first world.Discover how Joshua's philosophical roots and global experiences shaped his approach to entrepreneurship. Hear insights into Post Planner's innovative asynchronous work model and learn how he leverages global talent to build a culture of trust and autonomy. Tune in to hear how Joshua's journey can inspire your own path and transform your approach to work and leadership!

Skyrocketing costs of attendance, declining enrollment, the advent of artificial intelligence, campus debates about free speech, and a crackdown on diversity initiatives: Today's universities are in a pickle. Adding to this pickle are President Trump's threats and actions on slashing research funding — the financial lifeline of modern universities. Last month, the Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted a new survey of a diverse group of university presidents who were asked if they “believe the Trump Administration is at war with higher education” — and 94% answered they strongly agree.Luigi and Bethany speak to one academic leader with deep experience at the heart of these debates: Nicholas Dirks, former Chancellor of UC Berkeley (2013-2017) and author of the book, "City of Intellect: The Uses and Abuses of the University." Together, the three of them discuss which idea of the university is still valid in the 21st century, how fundraising changed the governance of higher education, and how universities might navigate the challenges of Trump's second administration.Revisit our previous episodes:Universities and Politics: Should They Mix? with Hanna GrayThe Economics of Student Protests

Let's get real—hiring shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. We've all been there. You've got a role to fill, and suddenly, you're staring at a pile of resumes that all look the same or scrolling through job platforms, wondering how to separate the rockstars from the rest. It feels like a gamble—like you're rolling the dice and hoping the chosen person can deliver.But what if hiring wasn't a game of chance? What if you could approach it with the same clarity and confidence you bring to other areas of your business? In this follow-up episode with my great friend and mentor, Kevin Ashcroft, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, we'll answer these questions and more. If you didn't listen to the first half of this episode, “What is Global Talent and How Can You Hire Them for Your Business?” check it out.Kevin's been in the hiring trenches for over 15 years, refining a system that takes the guesswork out of finding the right talent. It's not just about skills (though those matter, of course)—it's about identifying the why behind the role, aligning it with your company's goals, and ensuring the person you bring on shares your values.Because here's the thing: hiring is one of the most critical investments you'll make as a business owner. And when you approach it strategically, the payoff isn't just a good hire—it's a stronger, more cohesive team that helps your business thrive.Kevin's Results Speak for ThemselvesFrom a single hire to a global team: Kevin scaled WP Support Specialists by outsourcing everything from admin to advanced development, proving that global talent isn't just cost-effective—it's transformative.Efficiency that pays off: His approach slashes hiring time while improving the quality of hires, giving entrepreneurs more time to focus on growth.Navigating AI-driven changes: Kevin's insights on sifting through AI-generated job applications are necessary for anyone hiring in today's tech-saturated landscape.Key Insights from the Episode:Hiring Starts with the “Why”Too many of us rush into hiring because we feel the pressure of an empty seat. Kevin's process begins with asking: Do we really need this role? If you don't know the answer, you're setting yourself up for a mismatch.Cultural Fit Is a Game-ChangerSkills can be trained, but shared values can't. Kevin's emphasis on cultural alignment as a non-negotiable for hiring resonated deeply with me. It's saved me from making some big mistakes in the past.Think Beyond BordersKevin and I geeked out about the beauty of global talent. It's not just a cost-saving move—it's about finding the right person, no matter where they're based. Forget the stereotypes; talent is talent.AI Is Changing the GamePlatforms are flooded with AI-generated responses that make sorting through candidates more challenging. Kevin shared some tricks to separate the real deal from the fluff. (Hint: Generic job posts don't cut it anymore.)Why This MattersHere's the deal—Kevin's approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about creating systems that work for your business, not just today but as you grow. I know firsthand how tempting it is to just “fill the gap,” but every hire should bring you closer to your long-term vision.This episode is for you if:You're tired of wasting time on the wrong candidates.You want to build a team that shares your values and drives results.You're ready to stop putting out fires and start hiring strategically.Whether you're just starting or scaling your team globally, Kevin's insights are a masterclass in strategic hiring.

The Paris Olympics may be over but a global competition filmed in Colombia has just begun! It's a bit of a high school reunion, if no one went to the same high school, it's a bit like Eurovision, and occasionally it's like an obscure Belgian variety show, but overall this is a refreshing take on the All Stars format. Also, the judges panel looks like they're on the news.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Sean Languedoc, a seasoned tech entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience building & scaling companies across borders. Sean shares the lessons he learned from scaling five companies, how Outforce.ai is transforming outsourcing, when startups should consider leveraging external teams, and his thoughts on how emerging technologies like generative AI or quantum computing are accelerating development cycles. He also offers advice for non-technical founders looking to build MVPs in a capital-efficient way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Each business started not because of a technology that I wanted to build, it started because of a problem I saw in an industry that I needed to solve, & I was enabled by technology to solve it. You can't just walk into an industry like InsurTech & disrupt it with technology, technology changes a lot faster than behaviour & infrastructure. The lesson there was if things go wrong, the agency is blamed & I'd be fired. It's nothing to do with technology, it's all about people. Across all businesses you have to look at who are you disrupting & how influential are they in the decision-making process? Who wins & who loses & who can you embrace for your winning approach & get momentum behind those. BEST MOMENTS ‘Everyone will tell you you have a great idea until you ask them to pay for it, or until you understand the culture of the industry itself.' ‘For good operators who were really interested in optimising we got a lot of momentum, but for the companies that were horse-trading favours, not so much.' ‘The industry standard is 39% of projects that go to outsourcing don't work out. I'd say another 20% on top of those end up working out only because of brute force, relentless effort by the client to teach the outsourcing agency how to do it.' ‘You can't afford to take the risk of getting it wrong, you need to go in with data & research & get it right.'
