Abstract	In order to successfully operate and compete in developed markets, Chinese, Indian, and Russian companies require essential resources. Particularly, attracting competent and highly qualified employees is crucial in order to gain comparative advantage. However, potential employees are not yet familiar with or reluctant towards companies from these countries. This study analyzes how attractive Chinese, Indian, and Russian companies are perceived by potential employees in Germany. Based on signaling theory, it furthermore explores which HR practices may enhance employer attractiveness. A survey was conducted among potential employees in Germany using a self-administered questionnaire which resulted in a total number of 726 respondents. The study shows that compensation and job security are most the important HR practices with regard to employer attractiveness. Significant differences among countries and industries are revealed.
