Remote does not always mean anywhere

Before you apply, find out what “remote” really means.

Many remote jobs still limit where you can live, which hours you must work, or how often you visit an office. Paste the listing for a clear reality check, then use the interactive timezone overlap calculator to test required working hours.

How it works

From vague listing to useful questions

The checker does not guess your legal eligibility. It finds wording that deserves a closer look and shows you what to clarify.

  1. STEP 01

    Paste the listing

    Include the location field and full description so important wording is not missed.

  2. STEP 02

    Review the evidence

    See the matched phrases, score impact, positive signals, and plain-English verdict.

  3. STEP 03

    Confirm with the employer

    Use tailored questions and a professional email before relying on the result.
