Hey remote job hunters! I know the flexibility and comfort of working from home sounds amazing. But focusing your job search exclusively on remote or work-from-home roles can have some unique challenges. Luckily, with the right expectations and smart preparation, you can absolutely land your dream (remote) job. Here are some in-depth tips: Manage Expectations: Know that the remote work talent pool has exploded since 2020. Be prepared for a potentially extended search timeline and rejections as you compete with more candidates. Don't get discouraged - persistence pays off! Have realistic compensation expectations, at least at first. Remote roles tend to pay less than comparable in-office jobs as companies protect bottom lines. Negotiate for other perks like paid learning opportunities to offset salary. Understand that promotions may take a bit longer with leaders having less visibility into your work. Be gently persistent and intentional about showcasing your value and readiness for more responsibility. Don't sit waiting - take initiative! Optimize Your Environment: Ensure your home workspace inspires focus - clean, organized, free from distractions. Upgrade any technology needed for productivity and video calls. Do trial runs to test lighting, sound, backdrop, etc for virtual interviews. These details matter! Communicate Proactively: Double down on communication, accountability, taking initiative and being proactive. Don't wait for increased responsibility - demonstrate you're ready for it! Reach out frequently to reaffirm delivered value. Build genuine relationships with remote colleagues through intentional check-ins and participating in virtual social events. Out of sight can mean out of mind - so connect! With proper expectations, preparation, and proactive effort, you can thrive as a remote employee. Just stay persistent - your virtual dream job is out there waiting for you!

Many people's New Year resolution is simply to find a new job. On 1/Jan I saw a big spike of sign ups to the Remote Jobs Braintrust, which hints that many people committed to find a remote job. Last week I wrote about my own New Year resolutions: A TL;DR would be: 1/ I want to help 1000 people find remote jobs The main "vehicle" for this is the Remote Jobs Braintrust, the course + community for remote job seekers I launched in October, which has just surpassed 100 members. 2/ Launching a SaaS product This will be an extension of the above. I'm announcing this soon, and I'll build and launch it in public on Twitter. Stay tuned, especially if you're looking to find a new job, or simply to build a "career insurance" with inbound opportunities. 3/ I want to continue working as a Fractional CTO First reason is because I really enjoy it. But beyond that, having this flexible work arrangement allows me to write online every day, launch info products and now a new SaaS product. A key resolution is to simply keep going. I wrote in further depth about my New Year resolutions in last week's edition of my Remote Work Newsletter. You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dxNyNNih FYI, in case you're a subscriber you received this edition twice. I noticed there was a glitch in the email client that cut a significant part of the original edition, which was sent on Friday. I fixed it, and sent the full edition yesterday.

Finding remote work now isn’t as easy as it was during the pandemic and the immediate years after. Think 2020–2022.

But this doesn’t mean you cannot land remote jobs. Remote-first companies still exist and so does remote hiring. According to a 2023 survey by Harvard Business Review (HBR), "remote work isn’t going anywhere and executives know it".

Remote hiring can benefit companies and customers. In this article written by Antoine Boquen, he discusses the relationship between remote employees and customer benefits. Boquen argues that some companies still need to figure out how to hire employees living overseas. "With an international remote team, you may save on total payroll and talent acquisition costs, and also give yourself the widest possible talent pool for hiring," says Boquen. "An international team will expand the company’s cultural base and shape the next generation of employees." Boquen shares three best practices when working with a global team: 1) Consider adding asynchronous (async) work to the mix. 2) Implement a robust remote onboarding strategy. And 3) Don't neglect the benefits of in-person meetups. “Remote-first isn't just about reorienting your people/HR function. It's a change in business philosophy, freeing your enterprise from one physical location and providing new opportunities for you to empower your own clients and customers. Through a remote, globally distributed team, you can support your customers better, no matter where they are based, and no matter where they seek to expand,” he concludes. ZIVA will help you find the next team member who fits perfectly into the position. Our commitment is to ensure you have employees filled with purpose and a willingness to learn. With our support, you are only a 5-step process away from finding new talent. Our application process is quite simple: 1) Set a meeting with us to discuss your requirements; 2) Define and craft the position; 3) Compile a list of candidates; 4) Conduct final assessments and extend the job offer to the candidate; and 5) Facilitate onboarding and training.

🚀 The Ultimate Guide to Hiring Remote Employees 🌎 In today's competitive landscape, remote work is more than a trend—it's a necessity. To stay ahead, companies must adapt their hiring strategies to attract top remote talent effectively. But where can you find remote workers? 1️⃣ Contact the worker through their website or email: Experienced remote professionals often showcase their expertise through personal websites or blogs, making it easier for employers to connect directly. 2️⃣ Utilize your connections: Leverage your personal and professional networks to identify top remote talent. While this approach offers trusted referrals, it may limit access to a broader talent pool. 3️⃣ Social Media: Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook are powerful tools for scouting remote talent. However, it's essential to verify credentials thoroughly due to potential profile inaccuracies. Crafting an effective remote interview process is paramount to identifying the right candidates. From evaluating their preference for remote work to assessing technical competencies through web-based tasks, a structured interview process ensures alignment with your company's culture and values. Hiring remote talent presents numerous benefits for both employers and employees. By embracing remote work, companies can access diverse skill sets, foster innovation, and reduce operational costs while offering employees flexibility and work-life balance. Retaining remote employees requires thoughtful consideration of compensation, benefits, and professional growth opportunities. Tailoring packages to meet individual needs ensures equitable treatment and fosters a culture of inclusivity and appreciation.
