Good question. In many cases they did. The Zurich office has people from all over Europe.

But, for existing teams they wanted (reasonably) to avoid splitting between locations. So you need someone local.

I think the real reason for hiring locally is both that communication works better, and that the higher ups don't want to give the impression that their jobs could also be outsourced.
