How to get more quality matches by opening up to remote talent:
First, if you’re open to remote workers, be sure to always include them when you create a position or private search. If you do, you’ll increase the volume of your matches by up to 5X.
Keep in mind, you can include or exclude remote candidates based on their current location. These actions can be performed during position creation or after (by opening the filter panel):
In the filter panel, you can get even more specific about your remote position by selecting enable working hours, which allows you to filter by timezone and hours of overlap.
Viewing Candidate Remote Preferences
You can see candidate's location preferences when clicking on their profile! This includes their onsite location and remote timezone. The candidate can also specify whether they prefer to be onsite or remote, and how many days they would be willing to come into office.
