In my experience these kind of companies attract either juniors or people who cannot afford to work for a 100% remote company (because they cannot pass the interview). It’s like the Nigerian prince scam: the emails are written badly on purpose because they are targeted to those people who won’t realise about the nature of the scam.

In a scam, you actually want to attract the dumb, rich people. If hiring, probably you want someone with higher IQ?

Seems more likely that they think they're offering a legitimate concession or benefit in allowing 1 day WFH.

Just keep in mind that most recruiters get paid when they place someone.

So -- at least a few years ago -- they were trying to cast a wide net and get as many interested leads for the job as possible. It's just a numbers game for them.
