'Choose your own adventure': Recruitment expert on the evolution of remote work

Following the sudden onset of remote work during the pandemic, many companies are now adjusting their policies to get employees to spend more time in the office, in what a recruitment expert calls a “significant shift.”

“We went from a world where everyone was like: ‘work wherever, we're great with that,’ to a world that's really been sliding back towards an increase into the office,” said Michael Scissons, founder and CEO of Careerlist.

Scissons told BNN Bloomberg in a Monday television interview that the majority of public and mid-market private equity companies his firm works with now expect employees to work in-office at least three times a week.

He added that even those with senior positions who have been able to retain a remote work profile are increasingly expected to go into the office every other week or so, even if that means flying in.
