Do remote jobs get more applications than hybrid or onsite?

When you choose a work modality for your job on Get on Board, fully remote roles generally reach a larger candidate pool—but modality alone does not guarantee better results.

What usually changes by modality

1. Fully remote often increases visibility and applicant volume.
2. Hybrid can improve quality when proximity to the office is relevant.
3. Onsite can work well for local talent needs but usually narrows the pool.

Why two remote jobs can perform differently

Performance also depends on:

• salary range competitiveness,
• clarity of responsibilities and requirements,
• selected seniority,
• location restrictions when the role is remote-only-in-specific-regions.

How to decide with less risk

1. Pick the modality that matches the actual way your team works.
2. Keep role scope, salary range, and requirements consistent with that modality.
3. Check early results and adjust the posting if volume or fit is below expectations.
