I bet the real story is one of retention, which is not always what companies want to advertise. If you’re going into the office, it’s harder to find time to schedule interview.
But on top of that, going into the office and talking to real people and building relationships is going to result in you wanting to stay with the company for longer. This is what I like about going into the office. I don’t know if I work any more effectively, but I do like getting lunch with people and just hanging out, and I do feel a greater attachment to the team as a result. If I were totally remote, I surely would just be working for the highest bidder.
