# Best Practice: How Hygraph finds and hires the best tech talent worldwide


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
- **Time:** 13:25–13:55 (30 min)
- **Room:** Tech Recruiting Summit - YELLOW STAGE (Outdoor)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

Enormous competition and limited budgets – challenges that many companies face today. Added to this is the shortage of skilled workers, which is particularly noticeable in the IT sector. That's why more and more companies are looking for talent outside of their country's borders.

Relocation, hiring through an Employer of Record, freelancer or your own entity are options for hiring employees in a legally compliant manner.

Join the fireside chat where Alexis Seyfried, Senior Growth Manager at Remote.com, and Gargi Mahapatra, People and Culture Lead at Hygraph, talk about Hygraph's reasons for hiring via an Employer of Record, how they went about finding the right partner and how they overcome the challenges of globally distributed remote teams. At the end there is time for individual questions.
