CS icon Challenge  The problem

Orium moved from a remote-friendly to a remote-first policy. They further wanted to scale fast and benefit from opening their talent pool outside of Canada. Looking to Latin America for talent, they faced the challenge of providing equipment to their new hires fast and reliably.

"We are now navigating a new set of countries with different rules and expectations. I don't need to invest in each country until I know I have a hire. At that point, I have such a short amount of time to find an outcome and a solution which it's very stressful."

 

Tim Fernihough

Cofunder & Standards & Compliance Director

For Orium, one of the most challenging aspects of providing equipments for their global team was:

  • Having to source for local equipment providers
  • How to enable quick delivery of equipment
  • How to establish relationships with different local partners and overcome language barriers
  • How to set up remote employees to be compliant
  • Ability to give new hires a great end-user experience
