Local hiring

We have made significant strides in hiring host country nationals. The company uses a variety of best practices to support local hiring, including on-campus recruiting, campus recruiting focused on nationals studying abroad, employee networking, trade organization and Web site referrals, and external search firms.

In 2010, approximately 60 percent of our employees were located outside the United States. ExxonMobil expatriates (individuals working in a country other than their country of permanent residence) are deployed around the globe to share their expertise as well as train and mentor nationals for operational and leadership roles. In 2010, expatriates accounted for approximately 5 percent of our total workforce.
