Remote communication doesn’t always mean video conferences and Slack conversations, though.

Hiring new employees without meeting them in person can be challenging, but remote recruiting also opens you up to a wider, more diverse hiring pool. Catarina Ferreira, a Technical Recruiter at GitLab, outlines the many benefits of recruiting remotely.
