Growing a Remote Team, Recruiting Online, and How to Build Rapport with Meryl Johnston of Bean Ninjas

@AllanCaeg of RemoteCompass.com chats with Meryl Johnston, Founder & CEO of BeanNinjas.

Some highlights of this value-packed 20-minute conversation:

“getting forced” into setting up as a remote team from the beginning and starting with building a location-independent business in mind
growing a remote team of over 15 people across many different countries
finding the best team members and the right culture fit (regardless of where someone’s based)
running team retreats to build rapport
working with a weekly stream of job applicants by understanding culture fit, commitment, motivation, and ability to meet deadlines through online assessments
meeting up with teammates and clients to build rapport (but staying productive via online collaboration)
virtual summits are great for transferring knowledge, but they don’t provide the same networking opportunities that you’d get from hallway conversations or lunch breaks spent together
