He is now the founder of FreeeUp.com, the hands-on hiring marketplace. FreeeUp.com connects online business owners with pre-vetted remote workers, redefining how businesses are able to hire remote freelancers online.

The major advantages to hiring remote workers, notably flexibility and choice
The potential disadvantages that stop every business owner from working with remote workers. Factors to be considered before hiring a remote worker and how communication is key

Creating and maintaining a sense of team spirit and motivation among a team of remote workers
Getting around the potential obstacle of different time zones

Why, despite the common misconception, hiring remote workers isn’t necessarily just a cost-saving way to hiring low-value offshore workers
