We hired some remote engineers from South Africa through stack overflow. Now we have a permanent office in Cape Town. Give that a go maybe. A lot more bang for the buck comparatively than hiring remote engineers from the U.S., and the programmers there (shouldn't even be surprise) are as good as from any country including the U.S.

Awesome.

I can think of a ton of reasons a hiring manager would say "I can't do that." Not about race, but about remote and time zones.

So kudos to you for trying something that opened you up to far more candidates, finding them, making them successful, and sharing this example for others to learn from.
