Recruiting remotely needs a shift in mindset and process. Forbes names some of the best companies doing this right: https://www.forbes.com/sites/terinaallen/2025/01/27/totally-remote-jobs-the-top-work-from-anywhere-company-in-2025. SDG (Social Discovery Group) uses platforms like Remote OK, AngelList, and their own referral networks. But more importantly, they write role descriptions focused on mission and flexibility, not just qualifications. Their hiring process includes async challenges that mimic real work. That filters for people who truly thrive in remote environments—not just applicants who want to work from home.
