I don’t agree. There is much more to hiring even across states let alone from a different country. Mid sized companies don’t really have experience or know how to hire internationally. Big companies have know how and resources yes but your average Joe CEO is going to be terrified of it as he won’t have control over it and he has already enough stuff to do locally to keep company running and he can hire Elaine as HR and Jeff as manager and they will know how to deal with Ashton and Jimmy who live in the same state so our Joe CEO will have less worries - which in turn translates to less money wasted by company even if some devs would be cheaper on monthly salaries.
