Communication is a big deal in remote teams, we've been discussing it on Remote-first Conference in January. I'd recommend you listening to our recorded sessions, especially Vivek Nair (Founder at Pragli) and Oksana Zavoyko (Founder of Elin): https://6nomads.com/remote-conf

Interesting rules, thanks for sharing. We've just made an online conference on remote work and team management with 12 industry experts, you can check out the recordings as well: https://6nomads.com/remote-conf

Recently we were hosting Remote-first Online Conference and some speakers like Kaylie Boogaerts (People & Culture Manager at LaterPay) and Iwo Szapar (CEO of Remote-how) were covering similar topics.

It'll be great to join your discussion and find more about remote culture and distributed teams.

Distributed teams — the future that's already come for the IT-industry. It's awesome to see so many companies like GitLab, Doist, Buffer, Xapo and many more, have been employing the use of distributed teams for a while now.

Also, it great to see Time Doctor in the award list. Last week we were hosting Remote-first Online Conference and Liam McIvor Martin (Co-Founder at Time Doctor) was one of the speakers.

Well, that's a hard one. Raising a child is overwhelming enough so putting work on top of that is not making things easier. If you can do something like daily 'shifts' that might help. I suppose hiring nanny is also crucial. If you want to work at home try to make a separate room for your office.

Onboarding is a big deal in remote teams, we've been discussing it on Remote-first Conference in January. I'd recommend you listening to Kaylie Boogaerts (People & Culture Manager at LaterPay) and Liam McIvor Martin (Co-Founder at Time Doctor): https://6nomads.com/remote-conf

I'd recommend watching Andrei Rebrov (CTO & Co-founder at Scentbird) and David Tabachnikov (Co-CEO at ScholarshipOwl)

I'd recommend to check out remote job boards and see which languages are on high demand right now. In our experience that'd be python, ruby, php.

This is an ultimate list: AngelList: https://angel.co HN jobs: https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs WWR: https://weworkremotely.com/

Thanks. Definitely gonna take a look on it

At 6nomads, we have developed a tool that helps hire remote workers, because we firmly believe the future lies with distributed teams.

We select the best talents around the world and match them with fast-growing tech startups.

There's no need to pass formal multistage interviews in each company, our expertise is trusted, so, having spent 1.5 hours, you'll get many excellent offers from employers and a lot of saved time.

During our research, we’ve asked developers to choose the most important difficulties that remote work entails:

Almost half of our respondents say they don’t feel boundaries between their work and personal life. Moreover, the opportunity to not go to the office creates temptation or the ability to spend more time working;

A fifth of the respondents feel detached from the team or have difficulties in communication. These aspects emphasize the importance of proper communication with your employees;

Also, 20% of experienced respondents have difficulties with self-organization and loneliness.

It’s important to control the overworking compulsion and build strong communication within your team. Don’t let your employees feel isolated and try to spot burnout, because it may lead to disastrous effects. The short-term result of increased productivity isn’t worth losing a good specialist.

Building strong communication within your team is the most important aspect of remote work.

I think hiring young professionals is not the best option for a startup. They consume a lot of your time and energy and can't be as productive as middle or senior specialist.

Well, I'm talking more of senior backend and frontend engineers here. No need for DS yet.

I'm thinking about it. Do you have experience hiring a remote team?

I think building a remote team should be more helpful in this case? Do you have experience hiring remote developers? Any advice?

There're some difficulties managing a remote team but they don’t diminish the benefits. The main aspect is building strong communication within your team. In terms of remote work, only one thing matters — work! This is amazing because the ordinary question “What have you done today?” replaces many others such as: “What time did you come?”, “Why are you late?”, “What did you do today?”, and so on. Teamwork becomes result-oriented, not process-oriented.

Interesting articles. Thanks

It's a great way to hire high-quality specialists from everywhere in the world, maybe it'll be even cheaper. Also, in terms of remote work, only one thing matters — work. Teamwork becomes result-oriented, not process-oriented.

I often use my smartphone for such meetings, mostly Hangouts/Meet. But not using Zoom and Skype at all will provide difficulties with clients.

Thanks. I think this kind of "boring" specialists always has key roles in any field.
