É importante analisar se as tarefas do candidato podem ser realizadas remotamente sem prejudicar a colaboração ou a produtividade, e se a função dele exige horários fixos para interações com clientes. Uma abordagem eficaz pode ser testar essa flexibilidade por um período antes de adotar a mudança de forma definitiva, garantindo que o ajuste não comprometa o fluxo de trabalho, mas sim contribua para um ambiente mais produtivo e satisfatório para todos.</p> <button class="contribution__see-more-button absolute bottom-0 right-0 hidden cursor-pointer border-0 bg-color-surface p-0 text-md

I remember negotiating with a candidate who wanted full remote work, but we couldn’t offer that. Instead, we proposed a hybrid model where they could work remotely a few days a week while coming into the office for key meetings. This compromise helped satisfy the candidate’s need for flexibility while adhering to our operational requirements.</p> <button class="contribution__see-more-button absolute bottom-0 right-0 hidden

Se o pedido inicial não puder ser atendido, sugira opções como uma semana de trabalho compactada ou alguns dias de trabalho remoto.

Essa flexibilidade não só reforça a relação de confiança, mas também pode resultar em maior satisfação e retenção do talento.</p> <button class="contribution__see-more-button absolute bottom-0 right-0
