Abstract
La inmigración en el país ha crecido, mientras que, al mismo tiempo existe una escasez de talento especializado, debido a la alta demanda en áreas donde el mercado laboral no logra cubrir. Esta situación ha impulsado a las empresas a buscar profesionales altamente capacitados extranjeros, pero enfrentan importantes obstáculos legales y normativos, especialmente al gestionar contratos de teletrabajadores transnacionales. Los desafíos incluyen el cumplimiento de la legislación laboral y fiscal y la complejidad de los pagos internacionales, lo que dificulta aún más la respuesta efectiva a la alta demanda de talento especializado en el país.
Según la teoría, el trabajo es esencial para las personas, brindando estabilidad y desarrollo, y para las empresas, contar con un equipo talentoso es clave para el éxito. Sin embargo, reclutar talento implica desafíos como la definición de bandas salariales, la escasez de profesionales y la competencia global. La tendencia del teletrabajo amplía las posibilidades de contratación internacional, permitiendo acceder a profesionales de diferentes países. Sin embargo, esto también genera retos legislativos y fiscales, especialmente considerando que la ley chilena está bajo el principio de territorialidad, donde no regula a trabajadores remotos que operan fuera del país.
Esta tesis tiene como objetivo investigar los desafíos de contratación de profesionales extranjeros en modalidad remota por parte de empresas chilenas, desarrollando un modelo guía para su gestión eficiente. Se analizará la disponibilidad de talento, el marco normativo chileno y las estrategias de otros países para diseñar un manual que facilite la contratación y gestión de estos profesionales.
Se aplicó la teoría de contratación de profesionales extranjeros en modalidad remota a una empresa específica, analizando cómo esta organización ha contratado a profesionales fuera de Chile. Se recopiló información sobre los procesos actuales de selección, contratación y gestión de estos trabajadores, para luego desarrollar un manual que permita a la empresa gestionar eficazmente la contratación de extranjeros remotos, asegurando el cumplimiento de las normativas legales chilenas.
Por último, las leyes chilenas presentan deficiencias significativas en relación con la contratación de trabajadores extranjeros en modalidad remota. Actualmente, no existe una estructura legal que permita la contratación de trabajadores dependientes fuera de Chile, limitándose únicamente a los contratos de servicios. Esto genera un vacío normativo que dificulta la gestión adecuada y conforme a la legislación de la contratación de talento internacional, lo que pone de manifiesto la necesidad de una reforma que permita mayor flexibilidad y adaptación a las nuevas modalidades de trabajo globales.
Immigration in the country has grown, while at the same time there is a shortage of specialized talent, due to high demand in areas where the labor market fails to fill. This situation has prompted companies to seek highly skilled foreign professionals, but they face significant legal and regulatory hurdles, especially when managing transnational telecommuting contracts. Challenges include compliance with labor and tax legislation and the complexity of international payments, which makes it even more difficult to respond effectively to the high demand for specialized talent in the country. According to theory, work is essential for individuals, providing stability and development, and for companies, having a talented team is key to success. However, recruiting talent involves challenges such as the definition of salary bands, the shortage of professionals and global competition. The telecommuting trend expands the possibilities of international recruitment, allowing access to professionals from different countries. However, this also generates legislative and fiscal challenges, especially considering that Chilean law is under the principle of territoriality, where it does not regulate remote workers operating outside the country. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the challenges of hiring foreign professionals remotely by Chilean companies, developing a model guide for their efficient management. The availability of talent, the Chilean regulatory framework and the strategies of other countries will be analyzed in order to design a manual that facilitates the recruitment and management of these professionals. The theory of hiring foreign professionals remotely was applied to a specific company, analyzing how this organization has hired professionals outside Chile. Information was gathered on the current processes of selection, hiring and management of these workers, in order to develop a manual that allows the company to effectively manage the hiring of remote foreigners, ensuring compliance with Chilean legal regulations. Finally, Chilean laws present significant deficiencies in relation to the hiring of foreign workers remotely. Currently, there is no legal structure that allows the hiring of dependent workers outside Chile, being limited only to service contracts. This generates a regulatory vacuum that hinders the proper and legally compliant management of the hiring of international talent, which highlights the need for a reform that allows greater flexibility and adaptation to the new global work modalities.
