Remote, but only from some countries

Of the 4,535 remote jobs that can hire someone in the EU, 3,192 (70%) name the countries they hire in. Only 1,343 are open to the whole EU, worldwide jobs included.

So where you live decides how many of them you can apply to. Someone in Germany could apply to 1,453 of them at the end of the month, someone in Liechtenstein to 784.

Most companies can only employ people in countries where they have a company of their own or an employer of record. A job ad that says “remote, Europe” often means a short list of countries further down the page. That is why every job on WorkRemotely.eu shows the countries it is open to, with the sentence from the posting that says so.
