Shownotes

Merrily’s one big tip for hiring the best team possible is to hire based on talent rather than location. She says a hardworking, talented employee can work from anywhere. Many businesses have learned this as they’ve shifted to remote work during the pandemic, but CoreCubed has been hiring remotely for years.

Want to hire a great remote team for your own business? Listen on! In this episode, Merrily explains how to handle the hiring process remotely and shares tips for ensuring that someone is a great fit for your team.
