They key is the lack of friction. If all the employees are in the office, your one remote outsourced person is the outlier and teams will get annoyed having to deal with that person. If everyone is already remote, then there's no pushback at all from having another remote person -- and if they're already remote, why not hire from somewhere cheaper?
- rsanek 4y agoI think it comes down to, what is your time horizon? This difference may persist in the short-term, but as companies that hire remotely become more successful and profitable, we'd expect to see those that are in-office-only based in a high CoL market to be outcompeted.
