Description: Bridging the Gap: Navigating Passport Privilege in Global Talent Mobility

This pivotal session, guided by Sarrah Sammoon's seasoned expertise in global mobility, tackled the unspoken complexities of passport privilege and immigration due diligence in talent mobility. Focusing on an advanced audience, it addressed the silent yet critical factor of passport rankings—how they affected visa issuance and the movement of skilled individuals. This discussion was essential for HR and mobility professionals who faced the intricacies of hiring talent required to travel internationally.

Beyond assessing talent based on skills and compliance, the session introduced the concept of an "Immigration Due Diligence Profile," a vital step that examined a candidate's immigration history, including potential legal obstacles and visa risks associated with lower-ranking passports. In a world where passport power varied widely, this session underscored the need for robust due diligence processes, ensuring that mobility decisions were informed, compliant, and truly inclusive.
