This interview podcast features the founders of Remote, a platform for hiring and paying global employees. The discussion begins with a comparison of their home cities (Netherlands and San Francisco) to Tokyo, followed by an explanation of Remote's services, which simplify international hiring for companies by handling legal and logistical complexities. The founders then detail their fully remote company culture, emphasizing asynchronous communication tools like Loom and Notion to maintain efficiency and collaboration across a geographically dispersed workforce of nearly 2000 people. They discuss the evolution of their remote work approach and offer advice for Japanese companies looking to expand globally, suggesting starting with nearby time zones and adapting business practices for international collaboration. Remote's handbook, available online, provides insights into their company's operational methods.
