How to Hire a Remote Worker

  • Write a Job Description

Before anything, write a job description. A job description must consist of the job title, role, skills, and desired qualifications of an ideal candidate. Describe that this will be a remote work role and if there are any restraints on work hours or time zones. You want to make it clear what you are looking for to bring in the correct type of candidate for this position.

  • Scan through the Resumes and SHORTLIST THE BEST

When you receive applications, thoroughly scan through the resumes. Look for relevant experience, skills, and qualifications. Take note of their remote work experience if there is any and how independently they could work. Choose the best candidates according to how much their qualification matches your job description.

  • Give an Appointment for a VIRTUAL CALL INTERVIEW

Invite the shortlisted ones for a virtual interview through, say, Zoom or Skype. Have questions about experience, skills required, and work style checked. Test their communication skills, the possibility of working virtually, or if they have worked virtually in the past. How they did do it and what were the tools they utilized in preparing schedules and allot tasks?

  • Evaluate the Competence of the Employee

Bring out the candidate’s capabilities during the interview. Ask about past projects and how they overcame challenges. You may even present them with a small task to test them, which would allow you to understand their skill set and test them under pressure.

  • Discuss Expectations on Communication

Communication is king when people work remotely. Discuss how you plan to be in touch with the remote worker. Lay out expectations for response times, the timing of meetings, and which tools you will use to keep in touch, such as email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. Outline expectations for regular updates and the importance of clearly communicating problems or progress.

  • Set Expectations Around Management

Explain how you will handle and evaluate their performance. Inform them about project deadlines, reporting structure, and any tools or software they need to use. Be sure that they understand how their performance will be measured and what they have to achieve.

  • Check References

Request references from the candidate, then contact those references to confirm that the candidate has indeed had prior relevant work experience and that they have performed well. Confirm their reliability, work effort, and ability to meet deadlines. This will help you make a sure bet in hiring.

  • Make a Contract

Write down a contract that outlines your job, pay, and other important terms. Be sure to have the agreement signed only after both parties agree with the stipulations. Explain hours to be worked, deliveries to be made, hours pay is received, and if there are any further terms regarding confidentiality. A good contract makes you and the remote worker secured.

Once the contractor has accepted the contract, the customer must issue a Letter of Intent to hire. In the letter, spell out the job title, start date, amount of salary, and other details. This is a formal offer of employment that indicates the agreement terms discussed.

  • Notify Compliance and Payroll

Comply with local labor laws and tax regulations by setting up payroll to ensure the remittance is paid on time and properly to the remote worker. If need be, consult a legal expert or an HR manager to confirm you are following all the legalities.

  • Onboard Your New Candidate

Onboard your new remote worker- provide them with all the necessary tools and access to systems, train them on whatever they may need. Get them inducted into the team and help them get started smoothly. Make them understand the company culture, goals, and their role in the team.
