Why You Need a Remote Hiring Toolkit
Let’s face it: remote hiring is more complex than it looks.
You’re not just evaluating skills—you’re assessing time zone compatibility, self-discipline, communication style, and tech readiness.
Without the right tools, the process can quickly become:
- Disorganized and overwhelming
- Prone to hiring mismatches
- A waste of time and money
That’s why we created this Remote Hiring Toolkit.
At Artemis Recruits, we’ve built and refined these templates across dozens of successful placements. Now, we’re sharing them with you so you can streamline your hiring and feel more confident about every decision.
The Role of Templates in Successful Remote Hiring
Templates bring consistency, clarity, and speed to your hiring process.
Whether you’re hiring your first virtual assistant or building a full remote team, templates help you:
- Avoid reinventing the wheel
- Communicate clearly with candidates
- Document and evaluate each step
- Reduce bias with structured evaluations
They don’t replace human judgment—they support it.
And in remote hiring, where so much is asynchronous, having clean documentation is a game-changer.
Templates We Actually Use at Artemis Recruits
These are not just theoretical. These are the exact templates we use internally and with our clients to make remote hiring smooth and scalable.
1. Job Description Template
A good JD does more than list tasks. It:
- Sets expectations
- Sells the role to top talent
- Communicates your brand voice
Our JD template includes:
- About the Company
- Role Overview
- Responsibilities
- Required Skills & Experience
- Working Hours & Tools
- Compensation Range
- How to Apply
Pro Tip: Add a personality filter question to your JD like: “Tell us about a time you overcame a challenge working remotely.”
2. Applicant Tracking Spreadsheet
Stay organized and avoid losing great candidates in your inbox.
Our tracker includes:
- Name & Contact Info
- Source (LinkedIn, referral, etc.)
- Stage (Applied, Interviewing, Offer, Hired)
- Notes & Score
- Follow-Up Dates
This keeps your pipeline visible and helps you move fast without dropping the ball.
3. Interview Scorecard
Avoid “gut feeling” hires by scoring candidates on:
- Communication clarity
- Role-specific skills
- Culture fit
- Problem-solving approach
- Remote readiness
Scorecards promote fairness and make post-interview discussions easier.
Pro Tip: Use a shared Google Form version to collaborate with your team.
4. Offer Letter Template
Even for freelance or project-based roles, a clear offer letter builds trust.
Ours includes:
- Role title and duties
- Compensation terms
- Start date and reporting line
- Tools and logins
- Termination clause
Bonus: We add a welcome message and a few next-step tips to set a warm tone.
5. Onboarding Checklist
Don’t make new hires guess what to do. A great onboarding checklist includes:
- Access to communication channels
- Tool setup (email, ClickUp, Notion, etc.)
- Company culture overview
- Key SOPs and documents
- First-week goals and check-in schedule
When onboarding is clear, remote talent becomes productive faster.
How These Templates Save You Time and Improve Results
Using these templates has helped our clients:
- Cut hiring time by 40%
- Reduce mis-hires and early turnover
