1 Define your criteria

Before you start reviewing resumes, you need to have a clear idea of what you are looking for in a remote candidate. What are the essential skills, experience, and qualifications for the role? What are the nice-to-have or optional ones? How do you measure the candidates' suitability for remote work? You can use a scoring system or a checklist to evaluate each resume based on your criteria. This will help you narrow down your pool and avoid bias.

More than that you have to prioritize remote experience by looking for candidates who have prior experience working remotely or in a distributed team. Experience with self-management, communication skills, and the ability to work autonomously are vital. Remote work heavily relies on effective communication. Assess resumes for strong written and verbal communication skills, including clarity, conciseness, and responsiveness.

2 Use keywords and filters

One way to speed up your resume screening process is to use keywords and filters to sort out the candidates. You can use an applicant tracking system (ATS) or a resume screening tool to scan the resumes for specific words or phrases that indicate the candidates' skills, achievements, or remote work readiness. For example, you can look for keywords such as "remote", "virtual", "telecommute", "self-motivated", "collaborative", or "cross-cultural". You can also filter the resumes by location, education, or industry.

3 Review the format and content

When screening resumes for remote positions, you should review the format and content of the resumes to get an idea of how the candidates present themselves and their work history. Look for clues such as how well-organized and easy to read the resume is, how relevant and specific the achievements and responsibilities are, how quantifiable and measurable the results and outcomes are, how consistent and accurate the dates and details are, and how customized and tailored the resume is to the role and company.

Seek candidates with traits suited for remote work, such as flexibility, resilience, adaptability to different time zones, and a proactive approach to addressing challenges independently. Also, include specific questions related to remote work in the application process to gauge candidates' understanding of remote challenges, their preparedness, and motivation for pursuing a remote role. Involve hiring managers, team leads, or current remote team members in the resume review process to get their insights on the candidate's suitability for remote work and alignment with team dynamics.

4 Ask for additional information

Sometimes, a resume alone is not enough to assess a candidate's fit for a remote position. You may want to request additional information that can highlight their abilities, character, or work style. For instance, you can ask for a cover letter that explains their interest in the role and the company, as well as how they can contribute to your remote team. Additionally, you could request a portfolio or sample of their work to showcase their quality, creativity, or expertise. A video introduction or recorded response to a question may also be beneficial in revealing their communication skills, enthusiasm, or professionalism. Finally, you could assign a test or assignment to evaluate their knowledge, problem-solving, or performance.

5 Compare and rank

After you screen the resumes for remote positions, you need to compare and rank the candidates based on your criteria. You can use a spreadsheet or a software to track and score the candidates. You can also use a rating system or a color code to indicate your level of interest or priority. You want to identify the top candidates who meet your requirements and expectations, and who have the potential to succeed in a remote environment. You can then invite them for the next stage of the hiring process, such as a phone or a video interview.
