1. Access to better tech talent: The ideal talent may not be living anywhere near the office.

2. Saving time on skills assessments: there are plenty of remote skills assessment methods – some, like DevSkiller’s coding tests, are fully automated and save hours of developer time per candidate. You can also test your candidates’ skills live, without the need of being in the same room.

3. No recruitment travel costs (or relocation packages): If the talent knocked you off your feet and you were ready to extend them an offer, you don’t have to negotiate if they were open to relocation and take care of the relocation costs and/or paperwork, you’ll be saving a lot of money (not to mention, your talents’ time).

4. Lower office costs: if you decide to go fully remote, like many global tech players (including Buffer and Zapier), you won’t have to worry about an office.
5. Higher employee satisfaction: According to Stack Overflow research, remote work is one of the top priorities for software developers. Buffer, a data report platform, reports that 99% of employees who’ve previously worked remotely would want to retain at least a partial remote-work arrangement for the remainder of their careers, and according to OwlLabs research, the remote workers say they are likely to stay in their current job for the next 5 years, 13% more than onsite workers.
#6 Higher productivity levels: FlexJobs’ annual survey found that 65% of respondents are more productive in their home office than at a traditional workplace.
#7 Better employee branding: Happy employees will also be a source of good PR online in tech forums or social media groups. Zapier blog
