I wish recruitment platforms would start classifying the level of remoteness instead of a blanket remote allowed statement.

These days remote often means work from home due to COVID in the time zone of the physical office. Presumably won't be remote forever.

Remote used to mean people would be working asynchronously, and it didn't matter where you were physically situated and what hours of the day you were online. Obviously this only tends to work for places that are results driven as opposed to ones that care about the number of hours you put in.

Good point. I imagine there must be ongoing research to define the most relevant (frequent, desirable) "classes" of remote work.

If there's isn't, then large moderated communities like HN and Stackoverflow are in an unique position to survey folks and help define these classes. If the "Who's Hiring" threads here adopted a "remote work classification" catalogue, I think it'd catch on easily
