There is actually a ton of reshoring going on in the EU. They are just relatively quiet about it. Here’s a database that only goes up to 2018

I wonder if this is relating now to remote work as well?

Been seeing a lot more "Remote only in EU/UK" type roles, and when I ask they're explicitly not catering to other timezone-aligned regions.

Good question but I don’t know to be honest.

I was hiring that way in the previous company I worked for. Before we decided that, we had a few good candidates from UA and several African countries because initially we thought we'd limit only by the time zones.

In the end, we decided for EU/UK because of law compatibility, ease of enforcement (in case we would have to deal with some serious problems) and ease of gathering together from time to time.
