[Analemma_]

I can't remember if I read it here or somewhere else, but someone once made a really good point: that the incentives are strongly skewed against hiring remotely.

Think about it: the benefits of remote work go mainly to the employee, but the drawbacks (harder to communicate, harder to evaluate productivity) fall disproportionately on the manager. Since the manager is the one making the hiring decision, they don't hire remotes.

So to give a really broad answer, my suggestion would be "change the incentives so managers will hire more remote workers". That could mean internalizing costs of on-site workers, better communication tools, etc.
