Why do managers want more skilled employees when advertising for remote work positions? The authors offer several reasons. For instance, remote positions attract a much larger number of candidates. Thus, firms need tougher screening criteria. Moreover, managers may find it more difficult to train remote employees. Thus, they need employees who can hit the ground running much more quickly.<\/p>\n

In addition, I wonder if managers worry about the productivity of these remote employees. Applying tougher screening criteria may be one strategy for trying to insure that they have self-motivated and self-disciplined workers who will be highly productive in a remote work environment.<\/p>\n

The authors offer a word of caution for young employees looking for work. Co-author Letian Zhang explains, \u201cThis may hurt the entry-level workers who need training. Those are the workers who might be left out because organizations, after becoming remote, may have a stronger preference for more-experienced workers.\u201d Put another way, younger employees may be able to increase their odds of landing a job if they apply for non-remote work opportunities. Beyond that, I would argue that younger workers should be focusing on non-remote work because it offers better opportunities to receive on-the-job training, learn from mentors, build relationships, and extend their professional networks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
