We hire remote.

None of these are big problems. The biggest problem we have is communicating effectively with people in various time zones, and making them feel apart of the team. Video conferencing is still an area that is lacking in this area. I've yet to find a service that meets all our needs. Right now we are using LifeSize because it's the best we've found, and still fairly annoying.

The problem really isn't on the "hiring" end. It's how to work as effectively with remote people as you would with people in the same office. When you introduce friction with remote, it causes problems. That being said, I think it's a worthwhile problem to solve.

Not sure this helps, but this is our biggest struggle right now.

i do not work for zoom, but lately our company switched to zoom after using webex, skype, skype for business, polycom, cisco. hands down zoom has been the best solution for video conferencing, works really well.

totally agree with you on zoom -- also, zoom's slack plugin makes starting meetings quite easy.
