I would say that a job available on site OR remotely will attract more candidates than an on site only. To share my own experience, I've just bought an apartment and I've been thinking of working in a new company. I will automatically exclude non-remote positions (also the reason why I might leave my current company as the managers can work remotely no question asked but the devs can't...)

The most annoying ones are:

- REMOTE (US West Coast Only)

- ONSITE or REMOTE (onsite preferred)

There are also REMOTE (...possible after 6-9 months onsite) and REMOTE (1-2 days per week upon confirmation).
Yes, that's a good point that I forgot to mention in my post, Outpox.

Whilst I'm currently enjoying the flexibility of renting, I may well buy a house within the next year or two, and at that point re-location will definitely not be an option. The transaction costs of buying and selling property are eye-watering. Ideally I'd like to buy in an affordable rural or semi-rural area and continue to work remotely.
