I've seen variations of this. I think this is to get around the problem of lack of core hours.
If you are in the UK and you have somebody in your team from NZ, then there is never going to be any overlap in working hours, which might work, e.g. somebody likes to work late/early or might not (people like to stick to business hours)
edit:
The ones saying (US only) probably don't want the headache of dealing with people in a different tax jurisdiction
- viraptor 7y agoI completely understand why companies may prefer some country/location restriction. I just wish that we had better names for those categories, so we don't waste each other's time in mismatched recruitment. And so it's easier to say "I'm looking for unrestricted global-remote jobs".
- jinglebells 7y agoAnecdata: I'm in the UK and have worked with someone from NZ, it worked really well. He was a designer and tester so when we came in the morning, he'd tested everything and left new designs to be built up, then handed over to him overnight.
- reallydontask 7y agoIt's more of a problem if half the team is UK and the other half is NZ. I think a project on my company was run along the same lines as you mentioned but reversed: Testers in UK, Devs in NZ Worked well but occasionally Test manager would stay late for a call, I presume that it was early for NZ guys.
