In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Erik Reid discuss:
- Why you should consider international hiring for your US-based company.
- What to consider in doing remote versus in-house staffing.
- The red flags to catch if you did make a wrong hiring decision.
- Changing the stigma around international hiring.
Key Takeaways:
- Using an aptitude test can help you understand someone’s potential within your organization even before you understand if they are the right fit for your organization.
- Every role is different and different personalities will thrive in those different roles.
- Communication and clear instructions can give you amazing experiences with virtual staffing and help you delegate the things on your list that are not worth your hourly rate.
- Any role that can be worked remotely, can be worked internationally.
"If you want to break staffing down into the simplest form, it's 50%. Are they able to do the job? Are they cognitively able to do the job? Do they have the skills for it? And then the other 50% is, are they the right fit for the role? Is the role the right fit for that? And that's very subjective." — Erik Reid
