Before you mark a role as globally remote

On Global Sponsor Hub, Remote — Global should generally mean that you are open to considering candidates based outside your main hiring country.

It does not mean you can hire in every country, sponsor every visa, or support every employment structure. It does mean the team has thought through international candidate eligibility and is not using “remote” to mean only “no office”.

Choose a more specific location or eligibility label if the role is remote within one country only, remote within a region only, limited to existing local work authorization, available only in payroll/entity countries, contractor-only, or unclear internally.

Clear labels reduce unsuitable applications and help candidates avoid discovering eligibility limits late in the process.

Before posting, check whether you can hire someone based outside your main country, whether candidates need existing work authorization, whether visa sponsorship is available, and whether the role is employee-based, contractor-based, or supported through an Employer of Record.

Also confirm any country, region, time-zone, salary, or benefit restrictions before candidates invest time applying.

If the role is globally remote: “This role is open to candidates based internationally, subject to our ability to employ or contract in the candidate’s location.”

If sponsorship may be available: “Visa sponsorship may be considered for eligible candidates, depending on role requirements and location.”

If sponsorship is not available: “Applicants must already have the right to work in [country]. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.”

If the role is contractor-only: “This is a remote contractor role. Candidates may be based internationally, subject to local contracting requirements. Visa sponsorship is not provided.”

If you are unsure whether your company can employ, sponsor, or contract with candidates in another country, you may need qualified support.

Depending on the situation, that could include Employer of Record, global payroll, immigration, relocation, contractor compliance, legal, or tax specialists. Global Sponsor Hub may feature trusted partners in these categories, but employers should verify advice and contracts directly with qualified providers.
