🤦 Remote… but not really? Let’s talk about it.
Lately I’ve noticed in job postings labeled as “Remote”, only to find out once you open the description the role actually requires you to live in a specific state or city (for example, “Remote — must reside in Kansas”).
For job seekers like me who are putting in the time and effort to search, apply, and stay motivated, this can be very misleading. Clear and accurate job descriptions matter. They help candidates focus their energy on the right opp

There are business reasons why companies operate in specific states. Legally, they have to establish entities to pay employees in each state (or work with a third party to make it happen). Unfortunately, many of the job boards / search engines haven’t updated their search tools to facilitate these requirements.

This isn’t nearly as bad as those job postings that say hybrid position but want you in the office 4 days a week. At that point you might as well just designate the position as “In office” and sell the one remote day as a perk.
