A lot of the time the company cannot make it remote global because of tax and regulatory compliance. I work for a multinational company who has employees in at least a dozen countries, but we can't employ anyone who isn't in a country we don't have a registered company entity.
Add to that the number of people we've had apply for jobs using AI and then turn out to have zero knowledge of what we've hired them for when they turn up.

There's a ton of employer of record companies that can hire for you. I've worked via Deel and Remote.com, both without any issues.
Late to the reply:
This is kind of beside my point.
What I'm saying is if you can't hire me, that's fine, but I'd like a little bit less of my time wasted up front by stating clearly where a company is hiring instead of just "remote".
