You are totally right in that there needs to be some prior knowledge of the person to work better remotely. I think it can be done up to a point by a first one or two day of meeting physically and getting to know where and how the person will work, to get a frame of reference.

I also hear that full remote teams usualy do in person meetings at least once or twice a year to ”recalibrate”, on top of there daily or bi-weekly vidro team meetings.

Perhaps the message here would be that making remote work well is not trivial and takes time, money and people knowing how to manage these teams. It shouldn’t be seen as the “lazy” option.
