What term describes recruitment and hiring focused on a region with inter-regional transfer opportunities?

• A. Regiocentric Staffing Orientation
• B. Geocentric Staffing Orientation
• C. Ethnocentric Staffing Orientation
• D. Local Staffing Orientation

Answer: (A)

The concept tested is how staffing choices are organized around geographic regions and mobility within that region. Regiocentric staffing orientation describes recruiting and assigning employees from a specific geographic region and allowing transfers within that region. This creates a regional talent pool and facilitates inter-regional moves within the same region, rather than pulling talent from or placing people globally or only within the host country. So, recruitment and hiring are focused on the region, with opportunities to transfer employees between subsidiaries in different countries within that region as needed. This contrasts with other approaches: ethnocentric relies on home-country nationals for key positions abroad; geocentric looks for the best person worldwide without regard to region; a local staffing approach emphasizes hiring within each country with limited cross-border mobility.
