I can confirm it also goes the other way. Posted a remote job where we needed applicant to be only one or two time zones away from UTC and 80% of the 500+ applicants in the first 24 hours were from the US. I guess it makes sense as the cost for ignoring the clear notice in the job description regarding location is borne by the hiring side, but very annoying.

Or they just said they were in the US? Resume spammers rarely read the job advert well enough to change tactics. They probably still weren’t close to UTC.
