I am more and more skeptical of the idea that hiring remote allows you unlimited access to talent, which you will need to solve your business problems.
Provided you're not in Wyoming or something, the talent is there. It just might need some training up.
If you're building for the long-term the best way to hire definitely seems like the Costco way.
Current CEO of Costco started as a warehouse manager.
Many of their top execs are former cashiers and floor workers.
Hire young and train them up. Then when a new opportunity appears within your business give someone you already employ the shot. They already know your business and culture and it will do wonders for company-wide morale to see someone get promoted from within.
Avoid the peter principle by allowing that person, should they not succeed, to return to their old position without loss of pay. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_pri…
I'm lucky to be in Texas which has multiple metropolises, but I wouldn't hire out of state. I'd only hire within 200-300 miles. That gives you plenty talent access. You don't need to be in the office daily. Of course, there is no talent shortage with current unemployment.

My allegedly "pro-china" video got shadowbanned on the allgedly "pro-china" app lol
Even though I submitted an appeal and it got approved that video is now dead.
I posted on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tiktok...how did each do?
On Twitter, 33k followers got me to 2.9 million views.
On TikTok, 550 followers got me to 224k views
On LinkedIn, 1900 followers got me 3056 impressions
TikTok definitely seems like the place to post content that you want to go viral, if you don't have many followers.
1. What I said about Amazon 2. How Amazon's lawyers have retaliated 3. Why it matters to Amazon customers, sellers, stockholders, and even Amazon itself twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Four years ago, I wrote an article.
It had a simple message:
1. Amazon doesn't allow sellers to price their products for less off-Amazon.
2. If they do, Amazon hides their products.
3. This keeps prices off-Amazon high, which is bad for consumers.
3. We paid a ton of money to build this warehouse and pour this concrete and we let that guy stay but he is actually blocking other trucks from docking. How would you like it if I parked a truck in front of your driveway?
4. Is it cool to ask a question? Because that was all that I was doing. Do you need to write 1 star reviews on my business’ google maps location because I asked a question? Call me an asshole?
5. So many people pretending like they’d just let all the trucks stay in their lots
Last time I tweeted something like this I was wrongfully suspended from Twitter but I think the following is smart.
In the 1800s surgeons did surgeries without washing their hands, going from patient to patient, sharing disease.
That is until this guy:
Believe or not, a lot of people were resistant to washing their hands.
So what’s my point?
Based on my reading of studies and some common sense, I bet we could greatly reduce disease transmission by encouraging people to gargle and nasal spray after likely disease exposures.
A lot of airborne and saliva globule illnesses hang out in your nose, sinuses, and throat.
Next time you go to a packed bar with poor ventilation, when you get home, you could gargle and nasal spray to, if not prevent disease, mitigate it.
