If they don't: that's fine. It's better to not hire juniors if you aren't able to provide the mentorship they require than hire them anyway into an organisation that will fail them.
- planetburgess 8y agoWe worried about this but it has proven unnecessary. Juniors can thrive in remote settings if they have the right personality. E.g. Someone who was very disciplined with their University study and assignments I think shows a good base for working remotely. But take time with onboarding and training. The biggest mistake we made was letting people rush through training. When remote and particularly asynchronous you'll have times you can't ask anyone for immediate help. So basic process and understanding need to be deeply embedded during training.
