Making sure our environment is safe, and everybody feels like they belong is important. Words are not enough, and practical, pro-active steps have to become part of our every day.
We appreciate that asking for accommodations during the interview process is daunting, and the responsibility is on us to build your trust in us.
You do not need to tell us why you are requesting accommodations. If you haven’t requested accommodations in your application, please email hiring@remote.com to request them.

- recruiters & hiring managers who are comfortable doing so, share their pronouns
- encourage applicants to share their name pronunciation with us, if they want to
- run a candidate feedback survey and share the results publicly
- published our advice when it comes to interviewing at Remote
- hire for values alignment & culture contribution not culture fit

- adverts are run through a gender decoder based on research that masculine coded adverts cause less women to apply

- where possible all take home tests will be graded anonymously to encourage interviewers to grade candidate's tests by the quality of work and reduce the potential influence of bias
- clear instructions and calendar invite for accessing Google Meet interviews

What is our Recruiting team currently working on implementing?
- building a strong relationship with Remote Culture Connection groups (Queer, Women, Disability, Minorities, and Belonging) to partner on projects (our RCCs are known as Employee Resource Groups in other companies)
