Is there any way to verify if a Remote role is actually remote before the first call? I am officially done with companies that list a job as Remote and then wait until the final offer to mention it’s actually Hybrid: 4 days a week. They know exactly what they’re doing; they want the talent pool of a remote role without actually giving up the control of an office. I spent three weeks interviewing for a role I can’t even take because I live four states away from their headquarters.

Why not simply ask the recruiter upfront to confirm if it's a 100% remote?

Just tell them outright that you are unwilling to relocate in the first ## years of employment and require it in writing from the employer that this is actually a remote position before interviewing. Phrase it as wanting to make sure that recruitment isn't wasting the time and efforts of interviewing.

I interviewed for a hybrid roll today, then they said the it team is mostly remote… but local. 🤷‍♂️

Could also ask them to describe a typical day or week in the role
