Remote jobs are no longer a niche topic. Destatis homeoffice data 2024: 25% of German employees work at least partially remotely — in IT and knowledge-intensive professions up to 60%. Specific platforms for remote jobs: Remote.com, We Work Remotely, LinkedIn with remote filter, Stepstone with homeoffice filter. In your application: explicitly emphasise remote experience and competency (self-organised, asynchronous communication, digital tools). Objection: 'full remote' positions are increasingly being replaced with 'remote-first' — many companies expect 1–2 days on-site per quarter. GDPR: home workplace data protection — employers have obligations for secure IT equipment. WEF: from 2025, remote competency is listed as an independent qualification in job postings.
