Support.com is hiring 100 people in 100 days. Paul Vaillancourt with Support.com describes his company's hiring process as beginning with a technical interview and following up with interviews to determine if you are a good fit for the job. "We very quickly decided we wanted to go to a completely work-from-home workforce," Vaillancourt said. "You can find the right people with the right skills no matter where they are," he added.
 
Vaillancourt describes support.com's environment as 'self-directed.' He says most telecommuting jobs can offer a unique mix of structure and flexibility depending on the project, however, he says "you do need to be comfortable solving problems," since you don't have the usual office support staff.
