Ask HN: Remote Jobs Demand

1 pointsby xfourover 4 years ago
My company is a household name, and has just switched over to a Distributed Workforce (Remote Work) longterm.<p>We&#x27;re having recruiting issues, and the narrative is there are less people searching for remote roles, therefore that&#x27;s why our recruiting pipelines are a trickle or what they&#x27;re used to.<p>To reinforce this I checked LinkedIn which we syndicate postings to, and saw there was no &quot;Company &quot; Remote filter applied jobs.<p>My thought is, if this is advertised correctly, we&#x27;d see an influx of candidates, but I wanted to check with the HN community before escalating this further.<p>What has everyone seen?

For what it&#x27;s worth, I usually search with location wide open and am ecstatic when a req actually says &quot;remote&quot; so I don&#x27;t have to ask.<p>The various job search sites (e.g. LI and Indeed) don&#x27;t deal well with &quot;Remote&quot; locations, often putting them as being in &quot;Remote, OR&quot; etc (seriously) hence my trying to factor that from queries.

The companies I&#x27;ve seen who are hiring remotely post the same job posting in every city they can think of, with &quot;Remote&quot; in the title. They&#x27;ll have 500 job listings for the single role as a result, but their postings get seen.
