In this insightful article, Arnold Mutombo, People & Culture Coordinator at World Vision in the DRC, shares his experience as a rural recruiter. Through five years spent in remote areas of the country, he highlights the major challenges HR professionals face: geographic isolation, insecurity, scarcity of local skills, and cultural constraints. Yet far from dwelling on the hurdles, the author also insists on the positive impact of local recruitment: community integration, empowerment, skills transfer, and socio-economic reinforcement. A compelling case for a more inclusive and strategic recruitment approach that values the often-overlooked potential of rural areas.
