I don’t employ people, I contract them longterm.
They work out of their homes, wherever they happen to live.
I don’t use services like getafreelancer anymore because I have been burned very badly.
We have physical meetings at least twice a year – you need to get to know your guys personally.
It is difficult to manage such a setup, and the more people the more difficult it is.
Finding the right ones can be even harder – but I have been pretty lucky in finding skilled, loyal and resourceful people I enjoy working with.
