2020 – what a year for the workplace! Almost one and a half years ago the first lockdowns were announced and in-office employees transformed into remote keyboard warriors. A drastic change that transformed the office overnight!
The evolution of remote recruiting represents one of the most significant transformations in the talent acquisition landscape in decades. As geographical boundaries dissolve and technology enables increasingly sophisticated virtual interactions, remote recruiters find themselves at the forefront of reshaping how organizations build their teams.
One of the earliest seeds of the coworking movement sprouted in Berlin, Germany in 1995 with the opening of c-base, a non-profit association originally designed as a place for hackers to come together, collaborate, and share their ideas. In this same year, American game designer Bernard DeKoven coined the term “coworking” to describe the idea of people from different backgrounds working in a shared environment. By the end of 1995, hackerspaces had opened in Santa Clara, San Francisco, and Brooklyn, and seminars and social events became regular events at some of the spaces.
Remote work became a standard practice over the last one and a half years in most of the business fields and has created a new generation of workers who are no longer okay with sitting in an office. In the past two decades, the number of remote workers has risen by 115%, according to a report by Flexjobs
The future of remote work is likely to have a significant impact on society, as more and more people are expected to work remotely in the coming years. Remote work, also known as telecommuting, is a flexible working arrangement where employees can work from a location other than the office, such as their home or a co-working space. The rise of remote work is driven by advances in technology, changes in the labor market, and shifts in societal attitudes towards work-life balance.
