  1. #1 Explain the Work • For technical work, you will be needing remote employees for Long-Term Roles and Assignments. • The job description should clearly mention the kind of work the hired virtual worker will be expected to do over time. It should also include the skills required for the successful completion of the project. • Prepare a few screening questions that should be technical in nature. Simple questions like the availability of the candidate will also help in the hiring process. • As you will be looking for remote developers, you job post should include the reasons why working with you would be beneficial and why your organization is special. www.virtualemployee.com (+1) 877-697-8006

  2. #2 Invite Relevant Candidates Only • If you are hiring online, look for the right talents by sharing your project info on a genuine job site. • Upload the project details and ask the shortlisted candidates to submit a proposal. • To match the time zones of your virtual employees or to build a team, you can search for candidates country or region wise. • You can check the skills of your prospective remote employees through online tests. Based on the scores, you can assess the candidates. • Inviting 5 to 10 developers to apply for your project would help. However, finding the best remote developers or freelancers is not easy as they may be busy with many projects. • You can also find tried-and-tested talents by filtering candidates based on the number of work hours and clients' feedback. www.virtualemployee.com (+1) 877-697-8006

  3. #3 Look for the Right Talent • Don't delay any communication or interview when a prospective virtual developer responds to your job post. • Plan for a video interview with such a candidate on Skype or Google Hangouts. • This will also help in gauging the candidates and their communication skills apart from knowing whether they have the right hardware and tools for effective communication. www.virtualemployee.com (+1) 877-697-8006

  4. #4 Test the Candidates • Testing the skills of a prospective virtual employee during an interview is a must. • Ask the shortlisted candidates to complete a test before you make the final decision of hiring them. • Even if you are paying the candidates for the test project, the cost won't be that huge considering that you would hire the one who is the best fit. • The test will help in validating the skills and experience of the potential developers. www.virtualemployee.com (+1) 877-697-8006

  5. #5 Clearly Define the Deliverables • Being candid about your expectations and project plans from the outset is vital. • Try to find out if the hiring would finally lead to a mutual and meaningful work relationship. • Share maximum information about your company so that the virtual employee you hire feels comfortable in working with you. • This will also help them in understanding your project and knowing what your intentions are. www.virtualemployee.com (+1) 877-697-8006

  6. #6 Hire the Best Talent • Based on the test results, you may decide to hire one or more virtual workers. • Get all the formal paperwork and background check done before signing a contract. • Welcome the new hire with a warm introductory mail. • Closely check if the new hire has access to all the required project documents and process details. www.virtualemployee.com (+1) 877-697-8006

  7. #7 Set the Goals & Targets • Goals should be set in the initial phase post the hiring, especially if you have a distributed team. • The newly hired developer should be aware of your expectations so that they are on the same page. • Setting short-term goals will also help in avoiding misunderstandings among the team members. • This will help in ensuring that the new developer meets the daily or weekly targets and the project runs smoothly. www.virtualemployee.com (+1) 877-697-8006
