Document everything, over-communicate in async channels, and make time zone differences an advantage (handoff workflows) rather than a friction.
Look for: intentional communication practices (over-communicate in async, regular video calls), virtual team-building activities that respect time zones, clear documentation and shared tools, trust-based management (outcomes over activity), and attention to inclusion for team members in different locations.
Increasingly important skill. Candidates who default to "everyone should be in the office" may struggle with modern distributed teams. Look for practical experience, not just theory.
