NEIL C. HUGHES
About this episode

Join me in a discussion about the world of remote work with Job van der Voort, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Remote. Join us as we explore the profound impact of remote hiring on modern business paradigms, with insights drawn from the latest research commissioned by Remote.

We begin our journey by scrutinizing the fascinating evolution of Remote, a company that expanded from a dozen to a thousand employees, proving that geographical boundaries no longer dictate the limits of success. From there, Job sheds light on the role of remote hiring in enhancing diversity and inclusion, while fueling sustainable economic growth.

The discussion then veers towards the rise of the digital nomad culture and the challenges that businesses face in adopting remote hiring practices. Job expertly navigates these complexities, explaining how Remote is defying these hurdles by providing comprehensive solutions for compliance, taxes, payroll, and benefits.

The conversation further delves into dispelling myths and concerns surrounding global hiring and the disparities in healthcare and total compensation across different regions. We conclude our discussion with Job sharing valuable advice on how companies can tap into a diverse pool of talent across Asia, Middle East, and Africa, and the importance of fostering a remote default culture.

With key findings from Remote's Tech Talent research, our chat uncovers how remote hiring could revolutionize employment, promote local growth, and catalyze an upsurge in workforce diversity. Yet, it also reveals how many are still restrained by domestic hiring practices, missing out on this opportunity.

Join us to understand the barriers to global hiring and how to overcome them, changing your perspective on remote work forever. Tune in to this episode of Tech Talks Daily Podcast, where the future of work awaits.
