That's a good point! it's hard to run IP theft battles in other countries πŸ‘

I would not say that Health and Benefits are useless unless the candidate lives in a country where that is paid for by taxes. They are also a tax-efficient way of paying more but at the same time not adding more tax pressure on the candidate. In my experience, none of my colleagues looked for remote jobs because they wanted to move to a different country with lower costs. Some moved out of the cities, but it's a big deal to move eg. children who still have to go to school.

To your point though, the most interesting areas for candidates to look at are the hiring company's policies and how much they pay. How many vacation days, public holidays, sick days, and maternal/paternal days are available.
