That is a fair point you are making. It makes it easier now then ever to work on a long distance. But, nothing beats a face-to-face. Never meeting your employe

That is a fair point you are making. It makes it easier now then ever to work on a long distance.
But, nothing beats a face-to-face. Never meeting your employees in real life simply because they live in a different country could create 1)tension 2)legal difficulties 3)communication difficulties (i.e. timezone differences)
Also if he/she is committed to make our business work, then why wouldn't they be committed to make the move with or to us? Another way of determining if they are a fit.
Yet, this is my personal opinion and like I said to some degree I agree with yours. Also this is my first business and I am still learning a lot. And this might be one of those learning curves. Determining whether the distance is/could be an issue.
- kls 16y agoSure, it was not meant as a critique of your preference, I was more or less pondering out loud why more people don't do it. I have had just as much success with a distributed team as I have had with a central team. I was really just wondering if it is fear of the unknown that keeps people from doing it or if it is a negative experience.
- dbuizert 16y agoFor me it is the unknown as it is my serious attempt to start a business. But, if we would find someone on a long distance and it would work great, who are we to say move here. It is something me and my co-founder talked about a good hour. As we are both new to this. :-)
