Attract the best talent
Hiring is perhaps the most essential thing a founding team can do. It's the reason companies spend a lot on recruiters and even assemble internal recruiting teams. Attracting the best talent has always been an ongoing journey. It's what led to tech companies implementing playground slides and free snacks to impress potential employees visiting the office. When you're building remotely, you don't have to worry about these vanities. As it turns out, the best way to optimize an office space is to eliminate it entirely.

The law of remote attraction
The majority of people want remote work, and those people are unwilling to bend on this requirement.
This has now become an undisputed fact, no matter how you look at it. It’s the #1 benefit people want out of a job. Almost half of the people would actually take a pay cut to work remotely. It turns out that those foosball tables and kombucha taps were just a bribe to handle something universally unpleasant.
Non-remote companies no longer have to ask themselves whether or not they are missing out on talent. They must consider just how much talent they are missing out on. The best workers in the field can demand the best benefits. Remote work is now the best benefit.
The good news? Remote work is the only employee benefit that will save you money, improve your retention, boost your team productivity and completely open up your talent pool. All in one swoop.
