What traits do you look for in candidates for a remote job?

Quick Read

Many interviewees attend an interview without learning anything about our company or team members upfront.

Our best team members apply based on certain things we offer and having followed our CEO or some of our team members for a while, being excited to join our team.

While this may sound odd to some, often it means that interviewees were able to provide complete services to customers, manage their time, priorities and responsibilities, and possess the required minimum for joining a distributed team that lets them deal with what they do best without spending all of their time on sales, negotiations, lead generation or legal/financial challenges.

Additionally, we ask them to send us feedback, criticism, and “attack” us with various questions, including suggestions for our site, service offerings, documents, or products.

Since we’re very community-driven, we also lean toward candidates who have been involved with a community for a while, or have ran a business/freelance consultancy for a couple years.
