“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, get on, don’t ask what seat.” -Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook
One of the greatest myths about remote work is that there aren’t phenomenal companies that are hiring remotely.
To dispel this myth, we researched thousands of companies and assembled a list of the fastest-growing companies that are hiring remote workers.
Why join a fast-growing company, and how should I evaluate a startup’s growth potential? You can click to read the full post but the very short version is 1. Career Upside 2. Learning Upside 3. Financial Upside
“Your choice of company trumps everything else. It’s more important than your job title, your pay or your responsibilities.” -Andy Rachleff, CEO of Wealthfront & Former Partner at Benchmark Capital
How the list was created: The primary metric used to measure company growth was employee growth (explained below). Is this a perfect way to measure things? Absolutely not, but we determined it’s the best objective way to build a list.
Important criteria: Companies must have job postings for a significant number of full-time (not only overseas) employees that can be location independent.
Understanding employee growth numbers: Employee growth measures how fast the number of employees has grown. i.e. 100% employee growth in 1-year would mean the company has doubled in size in the last year. 200% employee growth would mean the company has tripled in size.
Hiring filters: Please note that the hiring filter is not perfect, and companies change what they’re hiring for on a rolling basis. “All” simply means that the company is hiring for lots of roles.
Data issues? If any data appears to be wrong or if we missed a company, please click the feedback button on the right of your screen. Please be kind :). We made this with good intentions.
