Can Remote Internships Solve the Talent Vacuum? W/ Fredrik van Huynh

Business Owners & Entrepreneurs Podcast with Peter Boolkah | Business Coach | The Transition Guy®

Can international internships be the answer to the talent gap? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Fredrik van Huynh, founder and CEO of Absolute Internship, to talk about hiring talent, remote internships, and its possible impact on talent scarcity and the talent pool, in general, in the business world.
Absolute Internship is an organization that helps university graduates enter the working world through high-quality internships. As a student, Fredrik van Huynh got the opportunity to be an exchange student in China and Japan. This is where he spotted an opportunity to connect students to internships worldwide.
Post-COVID, a lot of companies, especially those in bigger cities like London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc., have started to realize how large their talent pool can be if they look at hiring talent all over the world. With the new Gen Z workforce coming in who thrive in flexibility, are used to working online, and are comfortable with a remote set-up, talent scarcity might very well be a thing of the past.
International internships or remote internships may just be the best gateway for students to get introduced into the working world. They can gain the experience they need (and may even possibly be eyed for employment) without having to spend on the high cost of living in cities. It also presents limitless opportunities when it comes to the range of job experiences and networks they can have with different industries and companies all over the world.
For companies, hiring talent outside the usual network that we look at may just be the innovation we need to fill in the gap, and avoid experiencing talent scarcity. Offering international internships or even just remote internships within our country presents a great first step to widening our talent pool, and hiring the best talent possible, beyond geographical limits.
