Global Hiring, Unfiltered: What Nobody Tells You Before You Start

Most conversations about global hiring focus on the theory. The compliance frameworks, the entity versus EOR debate, the cost models. What gets talked about far less openly is what actually happens when you are in it. The surprises, the internal friction, the decisions that looked straightforward until they were not, and the things leadership consistently underestimates until they become someone else's problem to solve.

Join an intimate group of senior HR, Finance and People Ops leaders for an exclusive dinner at The Mary Lane in New York City for a genuinely unfiltered conversation about what growing companies are actually experiencing when they hire across borders. No slides, no pitch, just a small group being honest about what is working, what is not, and what they would do differently.

What's The Agenda?

This exclusive dinner brings together senior HR, Finance and People Ops leaders navigating the realities of international hiring at growing organisations. In a relaxed and confidential setting, you will connect with peers over a multi-course dinner at The Mary Lane in New York City to share candid experiences, hard-won lessons and honest perspectives on what global hiring actually looks like beyond the playbook.

We will explore what has genuinely surprised people about hiring internationally, where the most unexpected friction has emerged, and what the decisions that seemed obvious at the time look like in hindsight.

Key discussion topics will include:

What Has Surprised You Most

What has caught you off guard about hiring internationally, and was it something you could have anticipated or something nobody warned you about?

Where the Internal Friction Lives

Where has global hiring created the most friction inside your organisation, and which teams or functions tend to feel it most?

The Decision You Would Revisit

What is one international hiring decision you would approach differently today, and what did it teach you?

The Countries and Situations That Caught You Out

Which markets or hiring situations have turned out to be more complicated than you expected, and why?

What Leadership Underestimates

What does your leadership team consistently underestimate about global hiring, and how do you close that gap?

This dinner is a chance to connect with like-minded leaders, compare notes on what is working, and leave with practical perspectives to bring back to your team, all in the distinctive surroundings of one of New York City's most celebrated dining destinations.
