Remote Hiring with Anna Shcherbyna

Remote hiring is a growing trend for online businesses to get qualified staff from all around the world. A huge benefit of remote working is that you can work anywhere! Anna’s business focuses on re-motivating businesses to hire remotely and grow out their business and team.

What is the remote hiring process?

When remote hiring, there will never be any face to face, in person meeting which could be quite challenging. However, Anna helps the process of remote hiring with her system of ‘digging deep’ to find out about the person who is potentially going to be hired. The 5 step process she uses; questionnaire, skill test, video, interviews, reference checks allows Remotivate to have an insightful view of a person. This includes a view of how they are as a person but also a professional view of how they work.

Isn’t hiring people one of the most important things you can do for your company?

“Take care of your team and your team will take care of your business” is a quote Anna uses to stress the importance of hiring within a company. A business is nothing without a team. Clients that have worked with Remotivate have described them as a great option and that they saved them a lot of time with hiring. Remotivate looks at what clients are struggling with to help them when hiring. By speaking to clients and working out what they want, Anna can find someone that fits their needs perfectly and who fits the position within that company.

Could remote hiring affect how an employee learns how to do the job correctly?

Clients that Remotivate are constantly thinking about this challenge. Anna explains that if an employee has clear expectations of what is needed. The clearer the expectations are, the clearer it is if that employee has succeeded or failed. It takes extra effort when teaching someone remotely but it can be done by setting out EXACTLY what it is the employee needs to do. However, an advantage of hiring from all around the world is that you will find a lot more experienced people at a much lower cost. So, if you don’t have enough time to constantly check in and provide feedback, you can find someone who has the right experience.

What tools are needed to make this work for employers?

Starting off in remote hiring, Slack, for example, is a great tool to use. Slack uses channels so you can have multiple different topics. This allows conversations about different projects to become easier and more organised. There are other tools that Anna explains which an employer can use to create and assign tasks for employees.
