At TOP, we hear this condition often and we regularly see it become the exact reason a strong candidate walks away from an otherwise great match.
A strong profile. A good match on paper. Technically exactly what the company is looking for. And then the remote work policy comes up, and the candidate steps back.
Not because they are unwilling to work hard. Rather, flexibility has become a serious consideration for many professionals today, one that carries as much weight as salary or career development.
We recognise both perspectives. Companies want new employees to properly integrate, become familiar with the culture and build genuine relationships with their team. Something that is undeniably easier to achieve in person.
Candidates have experienced in recent years that working from home simply works and donโt want to give up that freedom so easily.
The companies that handle this smartly are transparent about the expectation and show that thereโs room for a conversation after that initial period.
This is the same honest approach we take at TOP when advising candidates, ensuring there are no surprises later and that the match remains a genuine one.
Does this resonate with your experience, whether as an employer or a candidate? Weโd love to hear how youโve approached this.
