convertir la "fuga de cerebros" en "jugo de cerebros"


Explanation:
Creo que el término "brain gain" no refiere a la captura de cerebros que se han fugado (sean éstos domésticos o extranjeros) sino al aprovechamiento de esos cerebros que estén dentro o fuera del país (a través de networking). Me vino la cabeza la expresión "sacarle jugo" como sinónimo de "aprovechar al máximo".
Espero que sirva y suerte!

pasar de la fuga masiva de talentos hacia la captación masiva de talentos


Explanation:
I came here hoping to find a solid phrase in Spanish that would be equivalent to "brain gain" but apparently the jury is still out on this one, so, I've decided to see if I can come up with another option and see what the others out there have to say.
