What’s the onboarding process like when hiring someone in another country?

r/

We’re planning to bring on a remote hire from another country (likely Latin America) for the first time, and we’re trying to wrap our heads around what the onboarding process should actually look like. We’ve handled onboarding locally, but international feels like a different ball game—contracts, tools, communication, time zones, etc.

Would love to hear from people who’ve done this before:

Any lessons learned or things you wish you had done differently?
