Global staffing has been a key theme in research in international human resource management
(IHRM) for a number of decades. Our review confirms that it continues to be an important
contemporary area of research in IHRM. In the current paper, we review three key contemporary
issues in global staffing research, namely, the emergence of global talent management and
potentially a more strategic approach to global mobility, specifically changing patterns of global
mobility, and the emergence of the non-employees as key alternatives in the global staffing
literature. The paper also charts a future research agenda in each of these areas.
