Episode 121 - Why Most Offshore Recruiting Fails (And the Model That Actually Works) with Rob Chorney

Offshore recruiting is broken, but not for the reasons you think.

In this episode of Talent Titans, Suky sits down with Rob Chorney of Everyday People to expose the truth behind offshore recruiting models and why most agencies are getting it completely wrong.

If you've ever struggled with poor-quality offshore hires, slow ramp-up times, or brand damage from spammy outreach, this conversation will change how you think about global talent forever. Rob shoots it straight on the outdated "cheap labor" model and reveals a radically different approach—one built on hiring elite, experienced recruiters who deliver results from day one.

This isn't just about saving money. It's about staying competitive.
