Knowing how to interview remote candidates is not about copying your office interview onto a video call. The risk is different. A weak remote hire does not only miss tasks. They create lag, unclear ownership, extra management work, and hidden coordination costs across the team. Table of Contents Start With The Remote Reality Of The Role Build An Interview Scorecard
Our Story
We built an 80+ person distributed team while running SellerPlex. Then other founders started asking us how.
That is why Adaptive Teams exists.
Nate Ginsburg and Menno Gottmer built SellerPlex together, hiring remote talent across Latin America, Europe, and Asia. They developed a repeatable system for sourcing, vetting, onboarding, and managing distributed teams, and made it available to growing US companies.

Our Story
From operators to your hiring partners
Adaptive Teams didn’t start in a boardroom with a business plan. It started in the trenches of building a real company: SellerPlex, an e-commerce operations company founded by Nate, where Menno joined early to help build and scale operations. Since 2018, they’ve been hiring remote talent across continents, assembling distributed teams of dozens of people spanning Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa to power SellerPlex’s day-to-day operations.
Over the years, what began as an internal recruitment function evolved into something much bigger. Together, Nate and Menno developed a repeatable system for sourcing, vetting, onboarding, and managing remote employees. Not through theory, but through hundreds of real hiring decisions and the hard lessons that come with them. They learned what makes a remote hire succeed: structured onboarding, clear performance frameworks, the right tools, and a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing across time zones.
Meanwhile, they kept seeing the same story play out with other business owners: founders who knew they needed remote talent to grow but didn’t have the infrastructure, processes, or experience to hire internationally with confidence. The recruitment process was painful. The compliance questions were overwhelming. The management piece was a guessing game.
That gap is why Adaptive Teams exists. We took everything we built for ourselves and made it available to growing businesses everywhere. We’re not a recruitment agency that just sends you resumes. We’re operators who’ve managed remote teams ourselves, and we bring that operational depth to every placement.
“We don’t just find you people. We build the systems around them so they actually succeed. That’s exactly what we had to do for our own company.”
