Hum... Fully, total remote, hiring included is a bit utopia IMO, it can be done practically of course but demand a society that's not there and is in contrast with "being together"...

IMVHO remote work, where possible (around 30% of jobs in the western world probably), should still be inside country borders in the same way multi-national company subdivide themselves by country because local laws can be too incompatible to manage a unique entity. Similarly for salary: in theory we must get paid for what we do so regardless of where we are in, but in practice cost of living must be taken into account because the same amount of money in math terms have not the same value everywhere and taking cost of living into account is simply too complex to be solved. The world is not a global world where anywhere we are things are equal, there are of course similarities, in the end humans are similar, but definitely not enough.

"local" remote work is perfectly doable with little travel and common profit, world-scale remote work is potentially doable but not in the present world, also fully remote work is hardly possible IMO/IME...

My honest opinion is that there is no "test" possible anyway, just negotiation not really different than any "non remote" job.
