How Long Can I Work From Home?
It is wise to work from home when you start your new business. This keeps your overhead down and limits your financial exposure. There are however some areas of specialization that require an office. These include: light industrial temps, office support placements, customer service and other niches that mandate face-to-face interviews and often the administration of various tests.
If you are placing at higher levels, there is no need to have a physical office. Interviews can be conducted off site, through the utilization of teleconference or Skype technology. Many Staffing and Recruiting Firms, who had offices, now employ a 100% virtual team. It is important to realize however, that a virtual team is harder to train, monitor, manage, track and motivate.
