That's not at all true... We (Silent Circle) have hired plenty of people without any sort of face-to-face conversations. It's not uncommon for someone to work for us for several months before getting the chance to meet some else in the company face-to-face.

Seconded--I was hired without ever having an in-person interview. I've still never met any of my colleagues in person, after ~18 months.

I didn't have any video chat interviews, either, although that's typical practice for us.
