ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a better understanding of the selection criteria for global project managers, coordinators and team members, and suggests a process to recruit, select and train people around the globe. This information helps international companies and global project managers to appoint the right team members independently of their current or future locations. The chapter does not present a complete set of recommendations for the recruitment and selection of new employees, and assumes that the organisation already has a process in place to recruit internal candidates and hire new employees. Technical skills and specialisations are not the only elements to consider when evaluating potential team members to work on global projects. The manager of the project management team wrote a job description and contacted the human resources department to consider internal recruitment, as well as asking different recruitment agencies to identify external candidates interested in the assignment and to supply their resumes.
