The mobile workforce trend and supporting technology have been fantastic for businesses who know how to use it. Especially companies that are comfortable hiring remote employees. The War for Talent is far less vicious when you can reach out and hire employees from all over the country (or all over the world) and not even require them to relocate to your home city.
