    About this ebook

    The rise of remote work in the past few years has led many SMEs to look at remote employment as a viable option for growing their business. Many companies, however, still hold reservations about the risks of remote work and whether their team can continue to scale up as the business grows. These are reasonable concerns, primarily because remote work (in its most recent incarnation) is largely unproven as a concept. Modern remote working has simply not been around long enough to prove itself as a solid model for recruitment. But that’s not to say that it doesn’t work. It’s hard to argue against the capitalist practices of old and the corporate structures which have developed over the past one hundred years. Judging by appearances, these practices are working quite effectively. The big corporations have all been built on these practices, so why should we try/trust something new?

      WHY HIRE A REMOTE TEAM?

      The rise of remote work in the past few years has led many SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) to look at remote employment as a viable option for growing their business. Many companies, however, still hold reservations about the risks of remote work and whether their team can continue to scale up as the business grows. These are reasonable concerns, primarily because remote work (in its most recent incarnation) is largely unproven as a concept. Modern remote working has simply not been around long enough to prove itself as a solid model for recruitment. But that’s not to say that it doesn’t work. It’s hard to argue against the capitalist practices of old and the corporate structures which have developed over the past one hundred years. Judging by appearances, these practices are working quite effectively. The big corporations have all been built on these practices, so why should we try/trust something new? Well, perhaps because the new way is even better? Maybe you can grow your business even faster, with better talent and happier employees? So let’s dive into the many benefits of hiring a remote team and oust those concerns
