Full remote freelance, but [CITY] only?

· Published · 1 min read

What is this new trend of:

“Full remote freelance, but [CITY] or [COUNTRY] only”?

It makes absolutely no sense.

At a stretch, saying:

  • French/European registered company only
  • French working hours only

That can make sense from a legal and organisational standpoint…

…but requiring someone to be physically somewhere for a truly full remote job is absurd.

I freelance fully remote myself.

Curious to hear your views (especially from recruiters).

PS: it’s a shame for recruiters, you are one red flag away (one that makes no sense?) from really attracting top talent.
