Remote work or a few tips on how to hire a remote employee

COVID-19 has changed the world drastically. There wasn’t a single company that managed to forestall the negative effect of quarantine. By losing the opportunity to operate as a single mechanism from one office became a major concern of the spring. Even let’s say the whole year. Thus, starting from companies to big enterprises launched a global revoke of how they do their business and operate at work. Businesses started to work remotely.

So let’s discuss today how to hire remote employees based on the following guide and our experience.

• Remote work is not for everyone, there are people who simply cannot put themself together and push the task to the end. The so-called “Airplane Test” and “Enter The Dragon” tests mentioned in the article are really a good choice, to begin with. Whenever you start working with a new person you need to see him in action. And actually that’s not much different and is applicable in real/office work too.
• Secondly, it’s really good not to experiment with job positions. Sometimes the best idea is to “downgrade” a person on another position if you see that his/her technical or soft skills are better on another position. The best way to find a fitting job is to have a thorough glance at the CV, especially previous working experience.
• Thirdly, communication is an essential issue. Be sure to have constantly accessible communication channels. Without proper communication, you’ll definitely suffer from losses or casualties.
• Fourth, this is not mentioned in the article mentioned above but is there reason to cooperate with freelancers? In short, if you have a choice we recommend to hire own team or a certain developer as an outsource or outstaff directly “indoors” or/and from a development company.

Moreover, proper management and monitoring will assure the successful delivery of any project. So we wish you good luck and will be glad to offer our help and recommendations to you.
