Decision Point: Recruiting

Although some the software QA employees could work remotely, Holden$-$Evan expects the majority of software employees to work out of central offices. For this reason, you have decided to ask your advisors about the talent pools in Genovia and Baltonia.

Business consultant:

"People start looking at Baltonia because of price advantages, but they stay there because of our people. Baltonian culture is highly supportive of education. Students who get top scores in exams get their pictures in the newspaper here. Although it is true that much of the country is working towards improving basic literacy, the large cities have very well$-$educated populations, and the competition for those outstanding individuals is less intense than it is in Genovia. We can get the best of the best."

Director of Software Quality Assurance:

"Genovians are among the best$-$educated people in the world. While Baltonia is struggling with literacy rates, Genovia has world$-$renowned universities and a highly sophisticated workforce. Don't take talent for granted. If we move operations to Baltonia, we will be struggling to find people half as good as the ones we already have."
