For many leaders, the most anticipated part of the recruiting process is the face-to-face interview stage. By then, we've studied the candidate's résumé, we know their work experience, and we've likely talked to them on the phone.

Even after offices reopen, hiring more full-time remote workers will be the new reality at many of our organizations.
