Does the remote premium survive by market?
Remote postings are more common in North America, where pay is higher, so a global average would overstate the premium. Comparing inside each market, remote HR roles still pay more than on-site ones in North America, EU and UK.
| Market | Remote | Hybrid | On-site |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | €99,000 | €97,000 | €84,600 |
| EU | €51,800 | €49,200 | €42,000 |
| UK | €55,800 | €47,800 | €42,300 |
Part of the premium is the work itself: remote HR postings lean towards experienced specialists, such as HRIS, payroll and talent acquisition, while on-site postings include more coordinators and administrators.
