remote jobs in germany
May 5. 2025
In Germany it’s called “Home office” elsewhere it’s referred to as “work from home.”
Almost everyone wants an option to WFH, but the remote job openings seem to be less and less since the covid or corona time.
I checked and it turns out there are only 11,501 remote jobs available in Germany compared to ca 642,000 total jobs.
That’s just under 1.8% of all job posts in Germany that offer remote possible in their description!
This is considering Full-time, English job posts.
If you only look at permanent (unbefristet) positions, that amount drops even lower to 9,902 remote jobs.
Not everyone wants to work from home every day, but having the option on Mondays or Fridays is something that really appeals to a lot of people.
What you could do instead is write to the manager of your hiring position and ask him or her if the job post is 100% accurate:
“Is there any possibility for home office?”
You might be surprised if they tell you that in reality they are more accepting for people to work at home a few days of the week.
What is your favorite day to work from the home office? And how are you finding these jobs in your searches?
