Is remote hiring the future of IT recruitment? Experts weigh in

The IT industry has seen a major shift in hiring practices, with

remote

recruitment becoming the norm for many companies. As businesses embrace

hybrid

and fully remote

work

models, the traditional approach to hiring is evolving.
Remote hiring allows companies to access a wider talent pool beyond geographic constraints.
Krish Hanumanthu, an recruitment specialist and founder of AceNgage, explained, "Remote hiring has expanded opportunities for both employers and candidates. Companies are no longer limited to local talent, which is particularly beneficial for niche tech roles."
While remote hiring offers flexibility, it also comes with challenges such as assessing technical skills and ensuring cultural fit.

HR consultant Priya Shah noted, "A major challenge is evaluating soft skills and team collaboration in a remote setup. Employers need to refine their onboarding and training processes to integrate new hires effectively."
Many experts believe remote hiring is here to stay, especially in the IT sector. Hybrid models, where employees have the option to work remotely or in-office, are becoming the preferred choice for both employers and job seekers.
