The talent shortage has become a major obstacle to growth for many companies around the world. According to a report by ManpowerGroup, over 77% of employers say they are struggling to fill their positions in 2024 a historic record. The sectors most affected include digital, engineering, marketing, and accounting.
In response, many companies are turning to immigration or offshoring to bridge the gap. However, this strategy is costly, time-consuming to implement, and sometimes ineffective in a world where international mobility is increasingly constrained.
But what if the real solution lies elsewhere?
What if, instead of relocating talent, we simply enabled them to work where they already are in the best possible conditions? That is precisely the mission of Breedj, an ethical HR platform that connects companies around the world with qualified talent in emerging countries, without requiring them to emigrate.
A Global Paradox: Talent Available, Jobs Unfilled
Today’s global job market is defined by a paradox. In G7 countries, hundreds of thousands of roles remain unfilled, particularly in digital, operations, and customer support roles. Meanwhile, in many African and Asian countries, millions of young graduates struggle to find jobs that match their skillsets.
Take Africa, for example: each year, over 10 million young people enter the job market, according to the African Development Bank. Yet youth unemployment or underemployment remains high, sometimes exceeding 30% among graduates.
And yet, this talent exists bilingual or trilingual, trained in digital tools, and experienced in remote work. It’s not a lack of skills, but a lack of opportunities. The issue is not education quality, but the geographic mismatch between company needs and talent location.
Breedj’s Solution: Breaking Down Borders
At Breedj, we believe technology can reconnect the global workforce. Our AI-powered platform enables companies in Europe, North America, and Asia to recruit qualified professionals based in emerging countries without expatriation, temp agencies, or legal friction.
Our approach:
Smart sourcing: With our AI-enriched database, we identify relevant profiles quickly often within 72 hours.
Compliant local contracts: We provide employment contracts in compliance with local labor laws, so you don’t need a local branch.
Secure, transparent payroll: Talent is paid in their local currency with an official payslip and we take zero commission.
GDPR-compliant & data secure: Security is central to our solution, with tools adapted to remote work.
Our model is fully transparent: Companies pay a fixed monthly subscription, and the collaborator’s salary is paid at cost no markups or hidden fees.
Real Economic and Social Impact
Our HR solution is also a social and economic revolution. By allowing talent to work for international companies without leaving their home countries, we help:
Grow the middle class: A fair, stable salary enables talent to invest in their future housing, healthcare, education.
Reduce brain drain: No need to leave home to build a successful career.
Enable youth and women’s employment: Remote work opens career paths in rural or underserved areas.
Foster sustainable local development: Each remote worker positively impacts their family and local ecosystem.
According to the World Economic Forum, Africa’s digital economy could generate up to $180 billion in GDP by 2025. By supporting local skilled employment, Breedj contributes to this inclusive growth movement.
Hire Fast, Smart, and Legally
Breedj simplifies international recruitment with a hybrid model combining employer of record (EOR) services and ethical outsourcing. Unlike offshore agencies, we don’t act as an opaque middleman: companies work directly with the talent in a clear, legal framework.
Our key advantages:

One point of contact: A dedicated Breedj representative supports you from job brief to onboarding.
Work-ready profiles: All our talents are trained in remote work and collaborative tools (Slack, Notion, Zoom…).
Integrated tools: Payroll, tracking, reporting, compliance all managed via our platform.
This model can reduce HR costs by up to 50%, speed up hiring, and minimize legal risks.
The Future of Work Has No Borders
Rethinking global hiring is no longer a utopian idea it’s a strategic necessity. Talent shortages, the rise of remote work, younger generations’ expectations, and economic pressures demand a new model.
Instead of relocating talent, let’s let them work where they already thrive. It’s faster, more efficient, more affordable and it’s more ethical and sustainable.
Breedj embraces this vision of the future of work:
– Distributed teams
– Fair collaborations
– Shared growth that benefits both businesses and local communities
