Remote, but not really

Head of Procurement – Benchling carries "(Remote)" in its location line and states, in the posting, "a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration", without a number of days. The pay is stated ($187,425–253,575); the office expectation is not. Its Hybrid Transparency Score is 10 of 100.

One data observation

Hybrid listings rarely say what hybrid means. Of 1,969 hybrid listings in the browsable index, 66 state how many days a week are expected in the office: 3.4%. Where a number is given, it is three in 55 of the 66 cases. Employer career pages, which publish most hybrid roles, state it least: 2.3% of Greenhouse-hosted listings, 7.1% of Ashby-hosted ones. The write-up: Hybrid means how many days?.

One transparency statistic

Of 3,858 live remote listings on 15 October, 0.9% say worldwide or anywhere, 2.5% name a region, 20.3% are United States only, and 76.3% say only "remote" or name one country. (Live listings, RRS location component; method at /how-we-score/.)
