Yeah I think the balance should be hiring people local to your office who are willing to go in (ideally WANT to go in) but also give them the option to decide for themselves when they want to be in office vs at home. As much as I love working from home, if most of my team was together in an office that's a reasonable commute from my home, I'd definitely not want to be left out/behind by staying home everyday - personally.
- jossclimb 4y agoThat might work if you're working on a very popular stack, doing something like web development on react etc, but anything more specialised then that (unless you're in the valley or somewhere with a big tech community), is going to be a challenge to hire in. If you can hire globally the talent pool becomes much more fruitful.
- ipaddr 4y agoFind people locally that want to go in. Filter the rest. Offer these people remote? Believe everyone will have a reasonable commute in and use the missing out emotional trigger to get people back. Then they can sit at their desk remote into meetings with others at different locations while talking as loudly as possible while everyone else puts their headphones on and browses slashdot?
