Hybrid jobs are finding their stride in specific geographies and experience levels Hybrid as an idea isn’t evenly distributed, however: ● These roles are much more popular in North America, Europe, and Australia, accounting for 1 in 14 professional roles. Companies hiring in Asia, South America, and Africa are still focused on traditional onsite and the occasional remote roles. ● These roles also tend to skew more Senior. Jobs requiring at least 5 years of experience are twice as likely to be hybrid roles compared to Junior and Entry-Level positions. This suggests that companies are still experimenting with hybrid roles for different roles and levels. Several companies, especially financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, have been vocal about the need for onsite presence for the career development of more junior talent. The data suggests that it may be how the larger employers are thinking about the distribution of hybrid roles in their workforce. But there is a lot of confusion about exactly what hybrid is Despite its rapidly increasing popularity among employers, the concept of hybrid work has led to a lot of confusion among candidates as discussed in recent articles. This is in part because employers continue to mislabel hybrid roles as “remote” (perhaps to make these jobs more appealing) and overstate the flexibility of the hybrid option. Common confusions in job posts include: ● Using “remote” in the title or location but describing the role as hybrid in the job post: “This position is a full-time remote/hybrid role with 2 days in office” ● Inconsistencies between the job description and the benefits section: “This is a full-time position based in our Springfield office.” Perks: “We have a flexible work from home policy, especially for those with families or commuters.” © Tapwage Inc 2022 6
