Many startups opt for remote teams, and even some office-based companies consider&nbsp;<strong>transitioning to remote work.<\/strong>&nbsp;Why? Because it\u2019s cheaper, more comfortable, and allows people from other countries to work in one company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this article, we answer the most common questions connected with remote teams in startups.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to find good remote work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that&nbsp;<strong>not every good worker is suited to remote work<\/strong>. Some people cannot find themselves in a remote reality and have problems working at home. But don\u2019t worry \u2013 working from home is a skill, just like cooking or writing. It takes time to learn and adjust to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So before selecting a specialist for your remote team, consider whether you have the time&nbsp;<strong>to teach them the new skills<\/strong>&nbsp;crucial for their job. Sometimes it\u2019s better to pay more, but get a new employee who has experience in working fully remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the question is&nbsp;<strong>where to find<\/strong>&nbsp;these people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Networking<\/strong>\u00a0is essential. Building relationships brings many benefits, such as access to great talents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Websites and communities.<\/strong>\u00a0Join different communities specializing in working remotely and post your job offer there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social media<\/strong>. Perhaps it seems too easy, but social media is really the best place to find the ideal candidate for your work. So don\u2019t be afraid and try it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recruitment process \u2013 how does it work in remote startups?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The remote recruitment process&nbsp;<strong>isn\u2019t fundamentally different<\/strong>&nbsp;from the one used in office settings. The main difference is that you meet with potential workers via webcam and not face-to-face. Today\u2019s technology allows you to conduct interviews smoothly and easily thanks to Skype, Zoom, Google Meet, or even Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about a&nbsp;<strong>person\u2019s attitude<\/strong>&nbsp;toward working remotely, ask them one of these questions, or even both of them, to learn more about their work experience and habits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What is your favourite way of working?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why does remote work appeal to you?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions are quite simple but&nbsp;<strong>let you understand the motivations<\/strong>&nbsp;that hide behind the need for remote work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Performance measure in a remote team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest challenges for startups looking for remote team members may be&nbsp;<strong>measuring performance.<\/strong>&nbsp;To run a remote startup successfully, you must trust your workers to do their jobs effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, it\u2019s worth defining how you want to&nbsp;<strong>mark and check their work<\/strong>. Here are some examples of what it means to measure employees based on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Output:<\/strong>\u00a0Are they productive in whatever hours they choose to work? Is their work product good? Does their work contribute to the business?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drive:<\/strong>\u00a0Do they set and strive to achieve aggressive goals? Do they try to be better this week than they were last week?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teamwork:<\/strong>\u00a0Are they a positive influence on the team? Do they make the people around them better? Do people like working with them?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To actually measure these things,&nbsp;<strong>take a combination<\/strong>&nbsp;of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your own gut\u00a0<strong>instinct.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peer\u00a0<strong>reviews<\/strong>\u00a0from the team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Metrics t<\/strong>hat are specific to their role; each role is different, so you need to find metrics that can measure the effectiveness of their output.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to build a culture as a remote team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in an office provides more opportunities to cultivate a team or startup culture. Meeting in the kitchen, integrations, parties, and many more. But when you have a remote team, you have to think about other ideas, like&nbsp;<strong>creating a group chat where you and your team can celebrate overcoming challenges<\/strong>&nbsp;or successes. Use meetings to talk about achievements. Use your creativity and internet tools to build a great atmosphere at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember that working remotely presents its own set of pros and cons, similar to working in an office setting. The atmosphere, trust, and motivation depend on you and your leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For any startup management inquiries or startup conferences, feel free to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurum.tech\/#contact\">contact us<\/a>.
