U.S. workers are getting scooped up by international companies hiring remote roles. American workers are most likely to be hired by companies in the U.K., Canada, France, Singapore and Australia.
The spike in U.S. workers vying for remote jobs headquartered overseas "feels correlated with the elimination of remote roles" stateside, says Deel CEO Alex Bouaziz. He knows from experience people are quitting jobs with return-to-office requirements to be remote: "A couple of our competitors did that, and we hired their best people. So I welcome them to keep doing it."
