Remote Work Index: Solve for Remote
Launching Gyfted’s Remote Work Index
Remote Recruiting is hard due to applicant volume
Remote work opened up global talent pools, but it also opened the floodgates. Companies now face hundreds—sometimes thousands—of applications per role. How do you efficiently identify the candidates who will actually thrive in your remote environment?
Gyfted’s Remote Work Index tackles this head-on with a science-backed screening solution designed specifically for high-volume remote hiring.
How Remote Recruiting Is Different
After extensive research and interviews with remote hiring leaders from companies like Ultra.io, Doist, and Remote.com, we’ve identified the core challenges:
- Overwhelming applicant volumes that crush recruiting bandwidth
- Complex time zone and work style alignment requirements
- Difficulty assessing remote-specific traits like self-management and async communication
- The need to evaluate culture fit without in-person interaction
