Hey friends 👋,
Welcome to the 268 new DTTO subscribers who joined us since last Tuesday.
Every week I'll send you a summary of the latest teams we've been researching + new job openings.
What comes after remote work?

Jobs posted on Hacker News skew heavily towards tech but this trend is representative of most knowledge work. Companies everywhere are figuring out they need to offer remote work if they want to compete for the best talent. If your particular set of tasks can be done online, there's a good chance you can find a remote-friendly company in 2021. Just google remote job sites and you'll soon be drowning in a sea of job posts that mention remote. Remote work used to be an outlier. 10 years ago you could point to a small group of companies like Automattic, Buffer, HelpScout & Basecamp as the dream companies to work for because they were the rare remote teams. No one else was doing it. Now we have thousands of companies offering remote - so how do you figure out who are the best teams to work for if remote is no longer a differentiator? That's what we're identifying in this email every week. We're looking for forward-thinking companies that are offering more than remote and are experimenting with new & better ways of working. I've written about some of these themes in previous issues: - Working from anywhere
- Asynchronous communication
- Zero meetings
- Trusting managers
- Time freedom
To find dream jobs where you'll be paid well, given trust to self-manage and supported as a human, not a resource, keep reading. We'll uncover new companies every week + interview founders to help you learn where the best opportunities are. |

Interview with Joel Friedlaender, Founder of Clinko |
- Tell us about what you do and where your team is located.
We build software for healthcare businesses. Our team is completely remote, around the world. We just hire the best people we can find, wherever they are. We have people in Australia, US, Canada, UK, Scotland, France, Portugal, Bulgaria, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
- What's a modern benefit you offer your team that isn't mainstream yet?
We work 30 hour weeks, unlimited annual leave, completely flexible work hours, no hierarchy or managers.
- Tell us about your approach to meetings vs async communication?
We never have scheduled meetings. Almost all our collaboration happens asynchronously. Occasionally we'll have ad-hoc video calls when it makes sense to do so.
- What's your favourite tool for remote collaboration?
Slack.
- Can you give us one prediction for the future of work?
The work done will matter more than the time it took to do it.
