I just started looking for a new job and only want remote work. Is it smart to tell recruiters that right away? I don't want to spend hours interviewing for a job that ends up being in an office. Has anyone found a good way to ask without being filtered out?

I'm looking for the same and I tell them right away that I would either want 1) Remote, or 2) Significant flexibility and limited days in office. If either is a deal-breaker, we move on to other options.

Companies usually describe job offers as “remote”, “in office”, and “hybrid” to avoid confusion.

I despise WFH and have serious boundaries in this matter.

Companies never liked people WFH.

You don’t need to bring it up until you’re satisfied with the work as described more fully in your interview.

I think it's more useful for you to tell them up front and weed out the companies that will sell hybrid but actually end up forcing you in an office rather than let your be remote.
