Remote work is gaining more traction every day as it allows so much flexibility and a better lifestyle for global talent. In contrast to how some thought leaders promote it, the overall picture is much more detailed than this.

For companies, it expands their talent pool to a global scale, rather than looking for candidates locally. Without remote hiring, if companies try searching for global talent, it comes with its own challenges like lacking expertise in different geographics (knowing which companies have the best talent in country X or which college graduates are better) or onboarding becomes very costly (relocation, cost of wrong hiring is extremely painful for both the company and the candidate). Remote hiring also allows companies to reduce costs while offering better compensation due to various tax obligations in different countries.

For candidates, it is a great advantage because they become available to work for a huge number of companies globally. This allows them to have better salaries, healthier work-life balance, and cost reduction due to not commuting.

Remote work is becoming more common, particularly for tech talent as managing tech work has better practices and scaling up (in some cases, scaling down) makes hiring remotely inevitable.

A Quick Guide To Building Remote Teams

Building remote teams was a practice that I wasn’t thinking about until last year. I was given a task to build the engineering team for a new function and it is a challenging task as the demand for high-quality engineers is having its peak time while the traditional options are not enough.

In this article, I will share the learnings from building remote teams and highlight some reliable sources from which you can hire remote teams from anywhere in the world:

The Pros And Cons Of Building Remote Teams
Pros
Bigger Talent Pool
Hiring for remote positions is essentially unlocking all the talent in the world (of course depends on your budget :). It allows you to look for more talented people with extensive skills and experience who can be a perfect fit for your projects and your company. It also helps you save time in case you are actually looking for talent on Linkedin actively.

Increased Productivity
Remote team members can work from wherever they want and enjoy more flexibility with a better work-life balance. As a result, they have a better work experience and enjoy their work more, which increases their productivity significantly. In fact, according to CoSo Cloud, 77% of remote workers report greater productivity, and 52% are less likely to take time off.

High Employee Retention Rate
The flexibility that remote work offers reduces work stress and improves their work experience. This positivity helps to elevate employee retention rate and keeps them loyal to your organization.

Economical
When your team works remotely, your company gets financial benefits. From infrastructure costs to utilities and hardware, remote working helps your company save a significant fortune, enabling you to expand without spending much.

Cons
Time Zone Differences
People in remote teams belong to different parts of the world and live in different time zones. It makes it difficult for each team member to communicate as there’s a possibility that your working hours might not match theirs. From my experience, this is less of a worry especially for engineering teams if planning sessions are in the common time slot. It is a bigger problem if the role is a business one and needs a lot of discussion and meetings.

Language Barrier
Hiring remote teams aid in attracting talent from all over the world, but these people belong to different countries and speak different languages. It creates a language barrier between remote teams to communicate with each other, negatively impacting the workflow. Though English has become a global language, you should determine if your remote team has sufficient English-speaking skills so that internal communication between your remote teams does not get disturbed.

Management Difficulties
Managing remote teams are different from managing on-site teams. You can monitor each individual’s performance and work progress when working in the same office as you, which is not the case in remote teams. Therefore, you need to keep regular meetings so that there’s no communication gap in your team and you have a clear idea of what your team is up to. From my experience, one key point is to not shifting towards micro-management as in the beginning managing remote teams can make you feel like you are losing control. Trust the talent and your team while you are having regular catchups with them to understand the progress and see if you can unblock the team by any means.

What’s The Future Like For Remote Teams?
Due to its unparalleled benefits, remote work has started significantly taking over the corporate world. By 2025, remote employment is anticipated to increase by up to 70%. Therefore, given their incalculable advantages for both people and their employers, remote teams are legitimately the future of the corporate world.
