How to hire remotely.

5 Ideas by @andreasklinger, visually remixed with pizza.

A visual thread. 👇🍕
1/ Hiring remotely will probably result in a lot more applicants.

Make sure to explain the role as precise as possible, so people know when to apply and when not to apply.
2/ Be aware of the ‘native speaker bias’.

Interviews are just a “how good can this person talk shop”.

Get them to do real work instead.
3/ While evaluating, focus on their real work performance.

For instance via take home challenges or pairing sessions with the hiring manager.
4/ Use an Applicant Tracking System in order to streamline your process.
5/ Finally, use a contract to hire.

I.e. a proof period of 1-2 weeks after which you’ll decide whether they get the actual job.

This will tell you more about them than any test will ever do.
