How Olive reads a listing

  1. 01

    Remote

    The employer lists the role as remote on its own career site. Olive keeps what the posting says instead of guessing from the description, so a listing that never says remote never becomes one here.

  2. 02

    Country of hire

    A remote role can still carry a country of hire: the employer takes people who can work from there. Most Olive employers are US-based, so most remote roles on Olive are worked from the United States. When a posting names no country, Olive shows the role as remote with the location unlisted.

  3. 03

    Hybrid

    Hybrid means some days at an office, so a hybrid listing keeps its city and shows up in searches near that city. A remote listing shows the country it can be worked from instead of an office address.

The default, and how to remove it

When a search leans remote, Olive scopes the remote results to the country you can work from and shows that scope as a chip: Remote from United States. A default on Olive is always a filter you can see, never a setting hidden behind the results.

The country comes from the most specific thing Olive knows: a saved location on your profile when you are signed in, otherwise the location in your search, then where your visit comes from, and the United States when nothing else is known.

Remove the chip and Olive shows remote roles without a country scope. Add a different country and the scope follows it. Either way the change is yours to make, and the results say which one is in effect.

What a remote card shows

A remote listing shows the country it can be worked from, such as Remote · US, never the office city the employer happens to be headquartered in. When the posting names no country, the card says Remote · location unlisted and the employer's own page is the place to confirm.

A hybrid listing keeps its city, because some days are spent there. It shows up in searches near that city and has its own filter, separate from remote.

Every listing on Olive is ingested from the employer's own career site and swept daily; a role that leaves its source leaves Olive.

Common questions

What does remote mean on Olive?
Remote on Olive means the employer lists the role as remote on its own career site. Olive does not infer it from the description. Most Olive employers are US-based, so remote results show roles you can work from the United States by default.
Why do my results say Remote from United States?
That chip is the country scope on remote results, and it is a filter you can see and remove, not a hidden setting. Signed in with a saved location, the scope is that location's country; otherwise it follows the location in your search, then where your visit comes from, and it falls back to the United States. Remove the chip to see remote roles without a country scope.
Can I work a remote role from anywhere?
Not always. Many employers hire remote workers only in the countries where they can employ people, and a posting that names a country of hire means exactly that. When a posting names none, Olive shows the role as remote with the location unlisted, and the employer's own page is the place to confirm.
How is hybrid different from remote?
Hybrid means some days at an office. A hybrid listing keeps its city and appears in searches near that city, and it has its own filter, separate from remote. A remote listing shows the country it can be worked from instead of an office address.

Remote roles you can actually work from where you are.
