Hiring is hard. If you're a remote company like we are, you already have a head start. A larger pool of applicants, more practical benefits over a "fun office", etc. That doesn't mean that when the time comes to hire for a new role, you will immediately find the perfect candidate. When we were hiring for our recent frontend developer role, we were surprised how hard it ended up being. Not for lack of candidates, but instead for the right fit within our existing team.

As we explained in a previous blog post, we decided to pivot at the end of summer 2020. Pivoting our products has been a major change in our cross-functional team’s organization, and we used it as an opportunity to start our UI/UX and an engineering processes from scratch. One of the aspects of that change is the organizational changes it implied, driven by our desire to iterate fast with the first pioneer users of the product that were—and still are—helping us build it.
