Set clear goals for the team members so that they dont feel lost when you are not around or there is time zone difference. Always let them know what is expected out of them in clear and crip fashion.

Regular Communication: Schedule regular meetings or video calls to discuss progress and challenges. Shared Goals: Ensure everyone understands and works towards the same objectives. Utilize Technology: Use collaborative tools like project management software or shared documents to streamline communication and coordination.

Utilize communication tools such as email, video conferencing, instant messaging platforms, and project management software to keep in touch with hiring teams in different locations. Establish regular check-ins and updates to ensure everyone stays informed and aligned.

Utilize a centralized hiring platform or applicant tracking system (ATS) where all team members can access candidate profiles, share feedback, and track the progress of candidates through the hiring process.

Communication is key to the success of any business no matter how big or small. We have successfully scaled a team to over one hundred and fifty working from over fourteen offices in under three years by investing in the best technology to keep everyone connected and communicating.

We could also consider building the information sharing center. To share the case experience, the working module, working process, and candidates'markting trends...for reducing the information gap caused by regional culture difference.

Keeping hiring team informed and engaged through out the recruiting process is important which will ensure that all members are aware of the progress challenges and any changes in the process ,allowing timely adjustments and alignment of efforts

Have regular meetings with the team to get the updates and also to give your updates. This bi weekly or even if needed weekly catch up call will help in filling all the gap. Let it be more collaborative calls where everyone is allowed to share their ideas and learnings since the last call. Also discussing their challenges will help them feel more comfortable which will help you build trust in the team.

Schedule regular check-ins or status meetings with hiring teams to discuss progress, address challenges, and provide updates on the status of open positions.

Cultural sensitivity and awareness: Be mindful of cultural differences and time zone challenges when scheduling meetings and communicating with team members from different locations.

Trust is very important in a team. Trust that your team members can rely on your during challenging times and also they can seek right guidance. Also the trust that you can rely on your team members during high workload and they will stand by you.

Feedback has to be both the sides, it can never be one sided. You should be able to provide constructive feedback and at the same time collect feedback on your managing style and also the current process. Such feedback loop will make everyone is the team feel inclusive and that their opinion matters.

Encourage feedback from hiring teams on their experiences with the collaboration process. Use this feedback to identify areas for improvement and implement changes to enhance collaboration effectiveness over time.

Encourage feedback and ideas: Create an inclusive environment where team members feel comfortable sharing their feedback, ideas, and suggestions for improvement.

Fostering an inclusive culture is paramount for effective collaboration across different locations. Beyond simply acknowledging cultural sensitivity, actively promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives ensures that all team members feel valued and respected for their unique perspectives and contributions. This can include implementing diversity training programs, establishing employee resource groups, and creating opportunities for cross-cultural exchanges. Additionally, ensuring that company policies and practices are inclusive and equitable further reinforces a culture of belonging and collaboration, enabling teams across different locations to work together harmoniously towards shared goals.

I am used to work with coworkers and managers that are not located in my country. Besides the weekly meetings for updates, we often gather online to blow off some steam and keep the team engaged. Those kind of meetings are the perfect excuse to build rapports with each other by sharing experiences and expressing thoughts and emotions. That helps to bond and keep the team together.
