New to Wellfound? We're the worlds largest platform for tech companies and startups, with over 30,000+ of them hiring. Sign up for free
Since the pandemic, we’ve seen some of the most drastic changes in hiring in years. Most notably, the rise in remote work, especially abroad. In the last year alone, AngelList Talent has had nearly 500K international candidates look for jobs on our platform.
Post pandemic, almost 50% of employees worldwide will continue to work remotely. With half the working population choosing to work from home, there are huge opportunities in the market. Since Apple announced their plans for employees to return to the office, 56% of workers have expressed that they are looking to leave the company because of it’s in-office requirements. A lot has changed about what employees value and seek when it comes to company benefits, and with restrictions and remote work, in-office perks have become less and less attractive.
Companies that force employees to return to the office are at risk of losing their best talent. Remote work tore down the geographical barriers that once prevented employees from getting jobs around the world, and companies will need to keep up with the current trends in order to retain and attract top talent.
Luckily, we’re here to help! In the last year, we've made several additions to our product to make it easier than ever to recruit international remote talent. Our new partnerships with Remote, Panther and Deel are here to make it easier to find, hire, and pay remote employees in 160+ countries around the world, no matter where your company is based. With these partnerships, companies can easily find international remote candidates on AngelList Talent, then start the hiring process for them within minutes.

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
