Posting a Remote Job
Remote, hybrid, and on the road jobs give people flexibility in where they work. A remote job means no regular in-office time. A hybrid job means the job is split between in office and from home or another location. An on the road job means employees are expected to travel for work and may not have a consistent starting location or office.
Key details for posting remote jobs
Posting your job with the right location type helps job seekers find it more easily. It also ensures your posting follows our Job Posting Location Policy.
Remote and hybrid role requirements
Be clear about whether your role is fully remote, hybrid, or on the road. This helps job seekers know what to expect.
Suggested keywords for job descriptions
- Fully remote roles
- “This is a remote position”
- “Fully remote”
- “100% remote”
- Hybrid roles
- “Hybrid remote/in-office”
- “Hybrid work schedule”
- “Work from home [x] days per week”
- On the road roles
- “Travelling [job title]”
- “On the road”
- “Travelling required”
How to list occasional work-from-home options
Some jobs are mostly in-person but allow occasional work-from-home days. These are not remote or hybrid jobs. If you want to highlight this benefit, use phrases like:
- “Flexibility to work from home as needed”
- “Work from home days possible”
- “Ability to occasionally work from home”
Location information for remote and hybrid jobs
Even when you post a job as remote or hybrid, we still ask for a location. If you decline to provide residency requirements for a fully remote job, Indeed will assign the entire country as the location. This is expected and ensures the job appears broadly.
For hybrid jobs, provide the exact in-person location. List the correct state or region for fully remote jobs with residency restrictions (for example, must live in a specific state for tax purposes).

Updating a job to be a remote or hybrid job

Posting a remote or hybrid job using XML files
If you post jobs via XML, add a <remotetype> field with one of these values:
- Fully Remote
- Hybrid Remote
If the job is fully remote but has residency rules (for example, must live in a certain state), include that in the <state> field of the XML. It is rare to use city-based restrictions, so use state or region instead.
FAQs
Question: Do I have to list a location for a remote job?
Answer: Yes. If you don’t provide a specific residency requirement, Indeed will set the entire country as the location by default.
Question: Can I post my job as remote or hybrid if it’s in-person with occasional work-from-home days?
Answer: No. These jobs aren’t considered remote or hybrid. Instead, describe the perk in your job description using phrases like “Flexibility to work from home as needed.”
