Senior-level roles lead the way in flexible work options
Our Q3 2025 analysis of new hybrid and remote jobs shows flexible work arrangements are more common for senior-level roles, but there are also opportunities for mid-level and entry-level professionals. Overall, employers are more likely to offer hybrid work arrangements than remote work options to employees at all levels.
Newly created hybrid and remote jobs—by experience level*
Senior-level (5 or more years of experience): 30% hybrid, 15% remote
Mid-level (3-5 years of experience): 25% hybrid, 12% remote
Entry-level (0-2 years of experience): 18% hybrid, 11% remote
*Experience level refers to the years of relevant experience a job candidate has for a specific type of role. For example, a senior-level accountant would have five or more years of relevant experience in the accounting profession.
Remote and hybrid jobs outlook: continued stabilization, with one-third of jobs featuring some remote work
One of the most significant remote work trends we have been tracking in our research for the Demand for Skilled Talent report is the growth in hybrid job postings from 15% in Q2 2023 to nearly a quarter (24%) of new jobs in Q2 2025.
Fully on-site roles have declined as hybrid options rise. We found that new, fully in-office job postings declined from 83% to 66% during 2023. And over the course of 2024, the rate of new, fully in-office jobs continued to decline, reinforcing that flexible work arrangements are here to stay.
We have also observed that job postings for hybrid and remote positions are stabilizing. This suggests many employers continue to see value in offering their employees flexible work options, like the ability to work from home either some or all of the time.
Hybrid work trends by geography
Robert Half analyzed hybrid and remote job postings across the United States to see how trends vary by location.
We found many employers in more rural states—where it can be challenging to find available local talent—are offering flexible work arrangements. Meanwhile, in states with larger metro areas, hybrid roles are more common than fully remote positions.
