- Zillow has gone all-in on its remote-first approach to work and has seen a surge in new applicants to its open jobs as a result. While other business leaders increasingly turn to return-to-office mandates, Zillow CEO Jeremy Wacksman said the approach has helped the company measure data on performance and collaboration in a more deliberate way. To solve some of the isolation associated with working from home, the company hosts in-person meetings, retreats, and town halls.
While some business leaders are leaning hard on return-to-office mandates, Zillow’s CEO is taking the opposite approach and seeking talent wherever they are based.
