I guess it works for a fully remote company, as you have a large pool of possible candidates. But in my area, I'd say it would be easiest to recruit using java.

- mwcampbell 4y agoThat sounds to me like a strong argument for any new startups founded by people in your area being remote-first.
- matsemann 4y agoThat's a good point, but I'm actually not so sure about it. I think that perhaps most startups need a tighter group and alignment than what remote can provide. While I'm a fan of remote work, I'm not sure if early stages is the correct time? Also, it can also be a pitfall that people want to work for you based on the cool tech, and nothing else. Which means they might be quicker to jump ship to the next cool thing and not in it for the long run? Just speculation on my part.
