As global talent shortages bite—especially in tech, where over 90% of organizations are expected to face skills gaps by 2026—employers are being forced to cast wider nets. Enter Beyond Borders: New York, a fresh eight-part video series from global employment platform Multiplier, aimed at helping HR leaders make sense of today’s increasingly borderless world of work.
This isn’t your typical corporate roundtable. Beyond Borders serves up unscripted, in-the-weeds conversations between Multiplier’s executive team and a curated roster of industry insiders, analysts, and people leaders. Think of it as a podcast-meets-masterclass, but on video—and with less fluff.
Real Talk About Global Work
In a time when 74% of employers worldwide report difficulties finding skilled talent, Multiplier’s latest content play is both timely and savvy. The series aims to demystify global employment by addressing real-world challenges like compliance headaches, payroll for distributed teams, burnout among HR professionals, and the implications of AI on workforce planning.
“We wanted real conversations between people who look at the same problem from totally different vantage points,” said Sagar Khatri, CEO and co-founder of Multiplier. That approach gives the series an edge—pairing, for instance, HR strategists with journalists, or payroll experts with tech operators—to create cross-functional insights many leaders rarely get in one place.
Who’s Talking (And What About)
Over eight weeks, each episode will drop on Multiplier’s site, starting with the first on global HR burnout—a timely issue in a post-COVID, always-on work culture. Other episodes include:
-
Global hiring as a solution to the skills crisis (feat. Newsweek’s Aman Kidwai and Sherwood News’ Rani Molla)
-
Women in distributed workforces, pay equity, and inclusion
-
AI’s growing impact on HR strategy, with future-of-work expert Jeanne Meister
-
Borderless payroll and the infrastructure that makes it possible
-
The mindset shift needed for international scaling, with The Muse’s Kathryn Minshew
-
Building global-first teams and brands, with leaders from TriNet, Charter, and more
Each conversation zeroes in on one major challenge of global employment, from the macro (compliance, AI, culture) to the operational (payroll, people ops, tech stacks).
Content with Intent
While the content is clearly built to position Multiplier as a thought leader, it also lands a solid value punch for CHROs, founders, and senior HR decision-makers who are scaling fast and globally. The topics are well-curated, and the guest list balances practitioner knowledge with media and analyst perspectives—a refreshing blend in a space often dominated by either vendor marketing or academic navel-gazing.
It also reflects a broader trend in B2B: turning company-led content into media-grade programming. Multiplier joins platforms like Deel, Remote, and Oyster in not just offering EOR and payroll tech—but helping define the discourse around distributed work.
Why It Matters
With global hiring no longer a niche but a necessity, the need for better thinking (and tooling) around people strategy is growing fast. AI is reshaping job functions; local regulations are changing monthly; and employees are demanding more flexible, equitable work. Leaders need more than a Slack channel and a compliance checklist—they need serious strategic input.
Beyond Borders might not solve all that, but it offers a strong signal: the companies enabling global work are finally talking with the ecosystem—not just at it.
You can catch new episodes weekly at Multiplier’s website, with the series expected to hit other global cities soon.
