I can't agree enough with this. I help startups find designers through my site (http://folyo.me http://folyo.me), and it's been all but impossible to find great designers available in the bay area.
On the other hand, the rest of the country (and the world) has tons of really good designers, some of which struggle to find work.
So far the companies who have gone the remote route haven't regretted it, and they've been able to avoid spending countless hours searching for a local hire.
- gexla 15y agoGreat designers having problems finding work... That's the unfortunate part of freelancing. The most amazing developers might be horrible with the marketing / business end.
- da02 15y agoIt might also have to do with how creative people are more likely to feel dirty fulfilling the wishes of the boss when they are wrong. Which might explain why your local restaurant would overpay for Flash heavy websites on eLance rather than hire someone on Folyo.me.
