If you need the “absolute 1%” of engineers on your team, you go to them where they are, by having a remote-first team and hiring remotely.

IMO, most are already working in the Bay Area at the big companies or unicorns. If you know how to find that ultra top tier talent remotely I'd love to hear what's worked for you.

Frankly just being remote is sufficient - HashiCorp (for example) was almost entirely remote for engineering for a long time (and may still be, I haven't kept track).

Some people ended up in the Bay Area, many people appreciated being able to live and work elsewhere. Not least, Europe.
