Building a Global TA Engine: Lessons from Remote’s Hyper-Growth with Anastasia Pshegodskaya

In this episode, we sit down with Anastasia Pshegodskaya, Director of TA at Remote, to unpack how the company scaled from 200 to nearly 2,000 people in just four years.

We explore the realities of hiring without borders, managing intense applicant volume, building culture asynchronously, navigating compensation across countries, and experimenting with AI-powered first-round interviews.

Whether you lead Talent Acquisition, People, HR operations, or you're scaling a global team, this conversation is packed with insights about building a TA function for the next decade of work.
