If your organization’s RTO plans are picking up steam again after the most recent Covid wave—and the thought of spending a good chunk of your day commuting to work has you searching for an escape hatch—you may be pleased to know that when it comes to remote work opportunities, HR professionals have options.
A simple search of LinkedIn and Indeed will turn up an array of remote job postings at all different levels of HR, but if you’re not seeing anything that strikes your fancy there, you may want to poke around HR Jobs Remote.
The website, which was started pre-pandemic in 2019 by Bucharest–based HR tech analyst Alex Gotoi, aggregates remote job postings in human resources at organizations based in the US, Europe, the UK, Canada, or “anywhere.” Job seekers can click on specific titles to explore remote positions ranging from HR generalist to DE&I to HR tech.
Extremely remote. In the past week, Gotoi, 31, said he’s added over 700 new remote job listings on the website, which he sources via a feed filtered from the international job search website Adzuna (which pays him for referrals), and by manually curating listings from other websites, including RemoteOk.com and remotive.com.
Gotoi says he’s seen a surge in remote job listings for HR professionals since he launched the site pre-pandemic. But the number of remote job listings is “almost four or five times more” than it was just six months ago, Gotoi told HR Brew in a recent phone conversation from Romania. He added that the biggest increase in remote listings has been for recruiters, which he says currently comprise 85% of the jobs on his website, up from less than 50% six months ago.

Recruiting recruiters. Asked why he thinks he’s seeing a spike in remote recruiter jobs specifically, Gotoi said, “The recruiter role is one that is very easy to streamline across the globe, because the processes are very straightforward compared to an HR admin role, where you have to be familiar with local legislation and stuff like this. And another thing is that there is a huge attrition in companies and recruiters are in high demand…People are leaving and companies need to recruit.”
So if you’re looking to be recruited yourself, the remote work boom is a promising development. And once you’ve found your remote dream job, it’s time to consider getting paid to relocate. Send us a postcard from Madeira, won’t you?
