3 things that you’ve learned about hiring and retaining great talent?
✅ Offering a fully remote environment. The co-founder and I have never met in real life and we have never had an office (having started during the pandemic) and don’t plan to. Everyone should feel comfortable working from home
✅ No pressure at work, ever, period. We offer a very relaxed working environment. We are bootstrapped so we never have to pander to pressures from investors. We set our own schedule and it’s always ok to take personal time.
✅ Hire multiple people for the same role. Especially when it comes to customer support, we try to hire two at a time to have redundancy and easily benchmark between candidates.
