Important: If your company is temporarily offering work from home and you are hiring remotely due to COVID-19 do not mark your jobs as remote. To find eligible candidates, advertise the job in your city so the new hire will be able to work from the office at a later time. See more details below 

With Workable you can advertise jobs which may be fully remote or have work from home flexibility.

Follow these guidelines depending on the circumstances of the job you're hiring for.

 

Fully remote

The employee is not and will not be required to work from the company's office. They will permanently work from their own location.

Note: Please keep in mind that remote positions are only eligible for sponsored postings on the job boards that Workable partners with, according to their posting guidelines.

  • Include details in the job description 
    • “This is a remote position”
    • “Employees will be working remotely”
    • “Remote work allowed”
    • For free LinkedIn posts ("Limited Listings") include "#LI-Remote" for the post to receive a special remote label on LinkedIn
  • Set a location based on where the role should appear on job boards and your careers page. We recommend including a full location (with zip/post code) even for remote jobs as this improves visibility and exposure with candidates
  • Check the "Remote job" box when editing the job description

Temporary remote due to COVID-19

The employee will be working remotely due to COVID-19, but will be expected to report to an office or job site as social distancing restrictions are lifted.

  • Include details in the job description
    • “Work remotely temporarily due to COVID-19”
    • “Work from home during coronavirus”
    • “Can start remotely due to COVID-19”
  • Set the location based on the office the employee will report to
  • Do NOT select the "Remote job" checkbox when editing the description

 

Work from home flexibility

The employee will have flexibility to work from home, but will be expected to report to an office or job site on a regular basis.

  • Include details in the job description
    • “Flexible work from home options available”

    • “Options for working from home”
  • Set the location based on the office the employee will report to
