CEOs are also casting a global net in their search for new talent. "In their quest for scarce talent, more and more fast-growth technology companies are extending the search beyond their national borders. Nearly half (45 percent) of the surveyed CEOs rate overseas talent as 'critical' or 'very important' to growing their business."
