Hi, would you be open to hiring remote candidates in Canada (pacific time zone)?

[baspland]

right now we can only hire within the US

Why is that? Why can’t you contract remote workers from any country?

That's a lot more paperwork, especially if you want an actual employee, not a "soulless contractor" that is not attached to your company.

I am a remote employee in a startup, and it requires way more paperwork (options, vacation, legal) to do things right. For a small company, that's just too much when you can hire someone in your country.
