What is Remote Work?

A work arrangement where employees perform their job duties from a location outside the employer's traditional office, typically from home but also from coworking spaces, coffee shops, or anywhere with a reliable internet connection.

Why it matters in hiring

Remote Work comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
