Very cool.
Just a caveat regarding Latitude AI, one of the listed companies.
When I applied about 12 months ago, I learned they wouldn't hire residents of some U.S. states.
I'm assuming it's because there weren't enough potential employees to justify the cost of handling that state's employer responsibilities.
- lucianh 2y agoAh, good to know. I already have some idea to prevent that in the future. Thanks for the heads up.
- lucianh 2y agoUpdate: it shouldn't happen anymore, only jobs in the US without any state requirement should be posted from now on.
- wrs 2y agoHaving been on the employer end of this, yes, a small company can find it hard to justify the fixed cost of adding another state’s worth of cost/effort overhead to hire one person. It’s a nontrivial barrier to deal with for a fully remote startup. One workaround is to use a “PEO”, or “co-employment” provider, to be the employer of record and handle HR, insurance, payroll, etc. Though it can feel like a rather weird arrangement when employees don’t technically work for the company they think they do.
- belmarca 2y agoAh, good to know. I suspect that might be the case for Canadian or Quebec resident.
- snthd 2y agoCould it be about avoiding some pay transparency laws? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_transparency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_transparency >California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Washington have passed compensation transparency laws as of 2023. Some US cities also have compensation transparency laws, including New York City.
