Remote member mentality
- Take the initiative to work and take the initiative to do the task. Even if the task is not assigned, he will find the task by himself.
- Do everything in an inch. Prioritize tasks.
- Good communication skills. Given the time difference between regions, emails, groups, and instant messaging are the main means of communication.
Team members should trust each other
For various reasons, for example, different departments are divided into several small groups, which cannot fully trust each other. Surprisingly, such a team can work despite lack of trust. However, trust in remote teams is a matter of life and death. In a remote team, there is no department, no supervisor urges you, no boss monitors you, and no one takes care of you. This is an individual combination that is together and mutually trusted because of a common goal.
How to find the right person
- Personal network. In the past, students and colleagues have a deep understanding of each other and are a good talent circle.
- Second, customers, partners, investors, family members, and friends can help us.
- Use existing platforms. It's like Zapier has "in-process recruitment" on the company logo !" As much as possible.
- Social platforms. Publish recruitment information on blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social platforms.
- Recommended for internal members. The team members are curious and enthusiastic about the recruitment process,
- Employment process model of new team members
- Treat people around you well. If the candidate is inappropriate, politely inform the other party, which is good for both parties.
- Invite appropriate candidates to the video conference. There are other details about a person's communication and presentation skills, which can be seen in the video session.
- Use the project management tool. Zapier uses Trello, so that the company can participate in the process and know the recruitment step.
- Invite candidates at the final stage to participate in the test project. It is very effective to review the technical and collaboration abilities of candidates through actual projects.
- Conduct team meetings and make final decisions. Allow team members to express their opinions and make objective comments on candidates. If the application is consistently approved, an Offer is hired.
As a member of the remote team, we may not be able to communicate with other members face to face, so instant communication tools are important. Below are some common platforms, such as Slack, Hip Chat, Skype, and Google Hangouts. Download and learn how to use it as soon as possible. If you prefer an internal tracing system, such as JIRA, you can do the same. Attach importance to tools, make good use of tools, and add value to yourself
The harmonious relationship between members and teams because remote development is not like the traditional office work, we can go directly to view the working process of our peers, so we need to regularly update the information, in order to show their own value and establish mutual trust, and this requires good communication
Some real-time dialogs can be organized, which helps to understand each other and sort out some important concepts. Not only does Google Hangouts and Skype have a single function, but we can also use video chat. When chatting, you can see that the other party's face can increase mutual trust and build a harmonious team relationship.
This is also applicable to non-language communication. If you keep your video communication smooth during your work period, you 'd better do the same. If you sing a happy birthday song through Google Chat on your companion's birthday, do it together. If you are sending e-cards, you should not be alone. Just stick to this kind of organizational culture.
Clear and complete questions and answers
Provide complete information, especially if your work schedule is inconsistent with that of other programmers, so that even if you are not online, your contacts can obtain the information they need in a timely manner, solve the problem.
Try to communicate via email to facilitate later queries, ask or answer questions, and organize the files into files so that the members of the questions can understand the inconsistency.
