COVID-19 has put many aspects of work to the test. The most popular among them is remote work. Quarantines, lockdowns, and self-isolations have pushed organizations to find effective ways to hire and work remotely. Tens of millions of people have been pushed to adapt to Work-From-Home (WFH), an experiment that struggled to gain traction before the pandemic.
We looked at the European job market for tech startups and found that some places are in high demand for remote work. We analyzed a total of 33,000 job openings published on LinkedIn in 28 European countries in August and September 2020. As keywords, we looked for job openings that mentioned ‘startup’ and ‘remote’, as it is used as a catch-all word for remote-based jobs across languages. Job openings in Linkedin always feature a location, which we used for comparison across Europe.
