I was recently hired by a So. Cal. company, but I live in Colorado and am soon moving to Kentucky. The company looked locally, worked with remote contractors for 6 months, and then hired 2 of them as full-time remote team members. There does seem to be a trend to having part of your team remote. Doing it full time will be a new venture for the company and for me.
