There's just one issue with the survey (although this is fucking brilliant!):
You should have first defined what "Remote" means.
A company could be willing to hire remote, but to them remote could mean somebody within the area who can drop by the office from time to time.
Still, I am very impressed by your efforts.
- kungfooey 13y agoIf I had to do it again I would have asked "Does your company embrace a remote work culture?" That's more what I was looking for. Oh well. It was still interesting to talk to 45 different companies and get their take on it. I did ask a few details about how they accommodated remote work (most had teams on IRC, Slack, or Hipchat and only one said they used Jabber) but I didn't standardize as much so I didn't write down all that data. I only had about 2 hours to collect all this so I had to make some sacrifices somewhere. As it was I missed a couple of companies that folded their tables up before I could get to them.
- phantom_oracle 13y agoPerhaps you don't need to make the process completely manual. You could collect the data through some hosted form from all the companies at the same time.

- zura 13y agoExactly. I barely look for [remote] jobs at US companies, because most likely it is US-only remote. This trend became popular in UK as well. On the other hand, remote jobs at companies from other countries are usually world-wide remote. Employers - please take this in count in HN Who is Hiring threads as well.
