SignalFire's Guide To Distributed Work - 20 tips & 100 tools for remote hiring, comp, & culture

This is my first big project for early stage VC fund SignalFire since I joined after leaving TechCrunch. We wanted to give everyone the top tips from the expert briefings on remote work that we've been running for our portfolio companies. The biggest value adds here are: 1. A list of over 100 tools and dozens of experts that can help your company work from home 2. A handbook for how to conduct remote job interviews from your first chat to sending "welcome to the team" swag 3. Calculators for how to adjust compensation for different geographies 4. Ideas for cultivating a fun company culture from afar SignalFire's head of talent Mike Mangini & director of communities Michael Martin put a ton of love into this so you can work smarter from home. We'll continue updating this, so I'd love to hear what your team has struggled with, tools you've found useful, or startups you want to emerge to fill the gaps!

Brilliant use of coda.io to put this together. And great work putting this together. This will be very useful for organization of all sizes. Miss reading your blogs on TechCrunch. Thank you👏

Go Go Go!!!

Great work, Josh and SignalFire team!

So many good tips in here, Josh. I particularly like what you suggested about the Onboarding Buddy Program. That's something we do at VSC and it works particularly well when we onboard groups of employees who are at the same level. I have definitely noticed a difference when we onboard someone solo and they don't have a buddy who's going through the same acclimation period as them. Good stuff, pls keep up the helpful content Josh :)

I got a ton of value from this! Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks for the resource
