Landing a Remote Job: Advice from Companies
We’ve asked over 135 companies how they hire for remote jobs, and they’ve given some excellent insider advice to help job seekers perfect their applications!
What traits do you look for in candidates for a remote job?
“We have a strong bias for people who have proven remote collaboration experience (if not full-time work then even as freelancers, participating in international communities, whatnot). And also we have bias for people who have lived in multiple countries and cities. This way you can at least know they can appreciate basic things like timezones and long-distance communication tricks.” – Teleport
“We look for someone who is self-motivated, has a superior work ethic, is technically savvy, and has the ability to work without distractions in their own home. We tend to steer away from candidates who mention they work best in a team environment or need constant feedback. While we are a team, the environment is not a traditional team environment like it is in an office. The feedback is regular, but certainly not constant since they work independently with little to no direct supervision.” – AnswerFirst Communications
“We put emphasis on how well a candidate can collaborate with other team members in a remote setting. Also, having a sense of humor can take you places!” – Kin HR
How do you conduct job interviews?
“We conduct them largely via text chat. It’s a good introduction for the person interviewing about how we communicate (very heavily text-based) and this also allows us to be able to interview people in different timezones no matter where the interviewer is located. The applicant also does a short, paid trial with us so that we can both experience how it is to work together and if there’s a good fit.” – Automattic
“Mostly via Skype, but when possible also meeting in person.” – Tok TV
“We use Hangouts (or any kind of video screenshare tool). It’s critical to be able to see a person.” – TaxJar
What is your process for hiring remote workers?
“We hire for tasks rather than people. For the tasks, it has been fairly clear. And for important tasks we have, we outline the requirement in writing and have a Skype call to set the scope and agree deliverables and expected outcome and timeframe.” – Vork Inc.
“Our recruiters speak to our remote work setup and process and what to expect. We also encourage our interviewing teams to have someone included in the interview stage who also is a remote worker.” – Dell
“We do ask some specific questions about virtual fit, including an ability to self-motivate. Some people like the idea of working remotely, but are more successful in traditional settings. We try to ask questions to help people be self-aware about their personalities and work styles.” – American Express
