+1, would love for more info on your "paid work day" experiences

For me, the paid work day was 8 hours in a Slack chat asking a lot of questions of 1-2 employees. My task was to get familiar with their existing systems by querying these employees. I was asked to prepare a report about what I found. The guys seemed busy so for a lot of the day I was on my own, waiting for more information. It was intense, but by the end of the day I had a pretty good sense of the internals. I think…

It sounds like it worked like we want, kind of! The work days should be more interactive than what you experienced, I think. The really good ones seem to be super busy for the first 4 hours, with 3-4 existing employees interacting. The latter half is frequently quiet if people are on the right track.

I can guess which position you were going through the process for, and it's something that we've been talking about a lot.

One thing we've noticed is that even when it's not perfect, the process we have helps a lot. You had an imperfect work day, but got a good idea of what the actual work is like. I'd rather you have a perfect workday though.

Ah! Out of space in the main post. We are only able to hire those that can legally work within Canada, the US, or the UK. Once hired, fully remote from anywhere.

How about a Canadian citizen living in China? Is the requirement mostly about paying taxes?

I don't think we can employ someone living in China. We have a US citizen living in Japan, but China is a big bag of hurt all by itself.
