More companies are going remote these days, so we have gathered a list of over 900 companies that hire remote workers.
Overview
Many people wonder whether remote working is here to stay as the world is opening back up and slowly recovering from the pandemic. This is particularly relevant for VCs seeking to invest in companies that may influence post-pandemic work practices.
Remote hiring is the next logical step after remote working. In the global economy that we are in now, it means that employers can hire workers worldwide to operate outside of a central office in a decentralized structure.
The process through which firms or their recruiting partners source, pre-screen, interview, and onboard new employees remotely is known as remote hiring or virtual recruiting. Tools and technology (Skype, Zoom, Teams) that facilitate such a process were available long before the pandemic but gained worldwide popularity because of the sudden shift to remote work.
Global Workplace Analysis shows that even once the COVID-19 situation is resolved, nearly 80% of employees want to continue working from home. It is expected that by the end of 2021, 25-30% of jobs will be remote. This only shows that remote hiring is here to stay, and looking at and adopting the latest trends in the sector will be a critical factor in business planning.
The transition that many organizations have made to incorporating remote working opportunities has opened up the market to new talent dynamics.. Organizations are no longer as constrained by geography when looking for top talent to bring into their organizations, and individuals are no longer restricted to finding work in their immediate locations, too.

- Improved technology
- Hub and spoke
- Employee assessment

It hasn’t just been a spike and then a decline afterward, I think employees are going to increasingly demand remote opportunities or flexible work arrangements because they know it’s something they want and can do
Daniel Zhao, a senior economist at Glassdoor for CNBC
