Hi, it’s Calvin here from FullFind,

Actionable Tip of the Day

If you don’t want to spend a lot of time doing HR interviews, have all candidates record a video intro answering these following questions:

• Short introduction

• Relevant work experience

• Why they’re interested to work specifically for your company

• Strengths and weaknesses

This will let you save time on HR interviews by 50% as you can eliminate candidates based on this alone. Plus it’s a good way to gauge the candidate’s level of English

Deep Dive

Getting remote talent to stay isn't always about offering more pay or bonuses. Often, it's the small, meaningful actions that don't cost anything that matter the most. Let me share a story to illustrate this. I once had a client who paid a Southeast Asian editor a very high salary. This editor was incredibly skilled, and the client loved his work. At first, the editor seemed happy, but then, unexpectedly, he wanted to resign. I was curious, so I asked him why he wanted to leave if he was happy. Was it the pay? The bonuses? The work culture? His answer surprised me.

He said it was the small things that made him feel the company didn't genuinely care about him. His salary was often paid late, there were no words of appreciation or simple "thank yous," no team activities to help him feel less isolated as a remote worker, and hardly any feedback from his managers. These little things added up and made him feel undervalued and disconnected.

So, my tip for you is simple: consistently doing these small things every month can help you retain your remote workers far better than offering high salaries or bonuses. If your remote employees can’t trust you with these basic things, they’ll gradually feel uncomfortable and start thinking about leaving.

Here are some simple actions you can take to retain your remote employees:

1. Pay their salaries on time.

2. Show appreciation for their work.

3. Provide regular feedback on their performance.

4. Host group events for remote workers, even if it's just online meetings.

5. Make them feel like an integral part of the company, as important as your in-office employees.

If you make these small efforts, you'll undoubtedly retain your remote employees better—without having to spend more money.
