Human Resources, Staffing & Recruiting

There are three main challenges when hiring remotely. DistantJob was built purposefully to solve those challenges. They are: 1. Finding Global Talent By employing a diverse group of people from all around the world, who speak to developers in their own language — doubly so, because our recruiters are fluent both in the developer’s local language as in their technical language — DistantJob can globalize local talent pools that regular companies would never have access to. 2. Vetting Remote Talent You need three things from a candidate: for them to have the hard and soft skills to thrive in their position; for them to be the cultural fit that will thrive in your team; and for them to have the particular set of skills required to thrive working remotely. DistantJob has over a decade of experience vetting for those, and what’s more — we take the time to meet you and your team to get to know you and determine the perfect cultural fit. 3. Taking Care of Remote Employees One of the major nuisances that companies face when hiring remotely is scaling their local HR operations globally. By acting as the employer of record in the candidate’s country, DistantJob handles all contracts, payment, and HR needs, keeping your people happy and your operation lean. Much like our recruitment team, we have legal and accountant experts worldwide who get your and your people the best conditions available wherever they live.
