Our Shift to Fully Remote Job Postings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

February 2022 marked a shift in our remote job posting policy. It was then that Virtual Vocations made the switch to become a fully remote job board<\/strong>. For the last six months, all new job postings added to the Virtual Vocations job board have been 100% virtual; this means no new job postings added to our database require field travel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our decision to become a fully remote job board was influenced by two key factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Shifts in employment dynamics since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/li>
  2. Survey feedback from remote jobseekers.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The desire for remote jobs is so high that nearly one in five<\/a> global companies is now considered fully virtual. But why do jobseekers want to work from home on this scale?<\/em> The results of the Virtual Vocations “Job Satisfaction Survey<\/a>” of approximately 400 working-age adults provided answers to this question. During the survey, workers named the top work from home benefits for 2022. They include more control over schedules, no commute, and better job security during uncertain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A second survey we conducted in March 2022 delved further into jobseekers’ desire for fully remote employment. Among the more than 540 responses to our 100% virtual jobs survey<\/a>, we found that 94% of respondents preferred a fully remote work arrangement that would never require them to leave home for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
