Pulling candidates out of low-tax countries like Dubai, Singapore or Hong Kong is a real challenge if you are selling a position from a country that is more egalitarian, socialist, high-tax, high-benefit oriented.

Many high potential internationals find it difficult to see the point of the move. They feel they are not going to stay in the destination country forever, as they expect to be rotated repeatedly, and are suspicious that the money they pay into the local tax or welfare system will never be recovered. The low-tax countries often tend to have higher economic growth rates anyway, so the logic of the move is less obvious than it might appear.

So what real selling points have people used to persuade professionals to move out of these countries?
