“It’s important to trust your instincts in any job interview, and this is especially true when it comes to interviewing for a remote role,” said Toni Frana, lead career expert at FlexJobs. 

“We advise flexible job seekers to familiarize themselves with common red flags to avoid wasting their time and energy on a role that isn’t going to support their professional goals.”

Here are red flags you should be aware of during a remote job interview, according to Frana:

• A long or complicated interview and application process, with multiple tests or assessments
• Any role that has been open for months or a long period of time
• Receiving vague responses to your questions or a general lack of transparency in the interview
• Being asked inappropriate questions
• An interviewer who badmouths current or former employees
• A disorganized, unprepared or unengaged interviewer
• The expectation for new remote hires to start immediately
• Not receiving a written offer
• Seeing negative reviews from former remote employees on company review sites

“Conversely, there are green flags to keep an eye out for in the interview process that may signal a healthy company culture with happy employees,” Frana said.

Here’s what Frana said to look for: 

• The interviewer is respectful of your time.
• It’s an energizing interview that feels more like a conversation.
• You’re asked about your personal passions or hobbies outside of work.
• They speak positively about current and former employees.
• The interviewer is highly prepared, engaged and familiar with your resume and work history.
• They offer concrete examples of how their company ensures healthy work-life balance — very important in a remote environment!
• The interviewer(s) talks about plans for professional growth.
• They openly invite you to speak with other employees.
