Software development employs a wide range of skillsets in programming, engineering, and more. Tech companies may find themselves with a need for talented software developers, engineers, data scientists, IT managers, security analysts, and more — but may not find the talent they need where they are.
Many U.S.-based tech companies cannot find the talent or skills that they need in the United States and a remote workforce has proven to be an effective alternative for growing tech companies. But what about a remote-first approach to building a development team?
Truss may be able to help answer your questions and help you access specialized web skills with a remote-first approach. With an innovative global hiring platform, partnering with Truss allows U.S.-based tech companies to employ a remote-first approach when it comes to finding and hiring developers with specific skillsets.

How a Remote-First Strategy Benefits Tech Companies
With more than 8,000 programming languages and even more software development skills — it can be difficult for U.S.-based tech companies to find the right employees with the right skills in the United States and in the immediate region that meet a company’s salary requirements. With the continued evolution of the tech industry across the globe, it has created a global hiring environment where tech companies can find talented individuals in emerging markets around the world.
This new reality has led many tech companies to take a remote-first approach to hiring — which has an impressive list of benefits for growing tech companies. Here is a better look at the benefits of a remote-first strategy and how it helps companies find employees with specialized skills.
1. Deeper Global Talent Pool
A traditional hiring model limits the talent pool that tech companies can hire from. The increase in remote access has allowed companies that employ a remote-first approach to hiring to find and hire talented employees from anywhere in the world. With more talented individuals to choose from, tech companies can find individuals with the right skillsets in different parts of the world.
2. Increased Flexibility and Reduced Costs
A remote-first approach means that tech companies do not have to rely on strict work hours or have strict office locations to be productive. A remote team can work within different time zones and at times that better fit their lifestyle — as long as the results are positive. Data has shown that remote workers are also more productive and satisfied than traditional office employees and without the need for an office, companies can reduce costs and be more profitable.
3. Diverse Skillsets
Remote workers from around the world have different skillsets and when you bring those skillsets together with a remote-first hiring strategy, you create a diverse workforce with different skills, different ways of thinking, and different perspectives on how a task can be accomplished. This way of thinking can prove to be fruitful for tech companies in creating new ideas and processes.
4. Increased Focus on Results
A remote-first approach to hiring allows companies to focus less on where an employee is located or how much time is spent and put the focus on how a task is accomplished. This mindset that stems from remote hiring allows companies to focus on output and results rather than the amount of hours being worked. This can help tech companies maximize productivity.
5. Access to New Technology and Skillsets
Diverse skillsets and a diverse remote workforce provide potential for access to new technology, new methods, and new skills that can benefit a tech company. When you focus on remote hiring, you benefit from skill development and innovation that you may not discover if you hire from one area and one group of individuals.
