Recruiting people from all walks of life is advised. You can learn new methods and technology to support your new referrals, what you can not do is determine who will be a success in your organization based on their language skills.
Now here is the reality.
When you recruit people globally you will need to focus more on culture than language as most countries have taught English as a second language for a couple decades now and even a member who list another language as primary may speak enough English to meet you half way but because of this communications issue you might find that certain phrases and actions don't translate as well as the words do.
You can upset people in many places in Asia for example by being too aggressive. I have this issue and have sometimes offended our Indian friends and even the French in Europe. You may also run into preexisting bias, many governments for example put out propaganda that has people hating the United States based on what they see in the media. They assume all people in the U.S. fit the stereotype cast of us on their local news accurate or not. Being aware of this can help you guide how you present information which will go a long way in establishing trust.
