The positive data behind remote work

We tried to experiment the remote model even before the pandemic. Our experimentation began February 2020. So we had looked at the talent insights and decided to go remote for certain engineering roles in Poland, expanding our footprint. And it's interesting when we boil, when we took an average of the different countries that we hire in our talent pool, especially the talent pool for women candidates in engineering, which are the real core engineering roles of front end, back end, SREs went up by 43 times. And just to share some numbers as well, for example, in Poland we saw this going up by 24.17 times more female candidates. The ratio that we could see is 6 versus 145. 145 was the pool for one of the senior job descriptions that we had in India, the increase was 43.49 times because we were only hiring in Gurgaon. And we could spread across south of India where we actually have more women in engineering talent as compared to the north of India. In Germany also, interestingly, the moment you go beyond Berlin and we've seen this data that we have a lack of talent, especially in senior roles in tech for women in Berlin, but the moment you expand, we've we saw that we could go for from anywhere up to four times in the, in the talent pool as well. So this is definitely, definitely increased our footprint.
