Atlassian, Deel & Dropbox Leak Talent, Not Water Coolers
KEY POINTS
- •Atlassian's remote policy since 2020 doubled applicants per job opening.
- •Deel hired 2,000 employees in 2024 from 1.5 million applicants.
- •Dropbox’s virtual-first policy started in 2021, boosting applicants sevenfold.

Forget the office cubicle apocalypse: Atlassian’s 13,000 flexible warriors report that remote work since 2020 doubled applicants per job. Deel bragged about hiring 2,000 folks from a 1.5 million stampede of resume gladiators in 2024 alone — all while other firms cling to their RTO desks like a toddler on a security blanket. Dropbox’s "virtual-first" shift since 2021 boosted job applicants nearly sevenfold and drove attrition to historic lows. Mozilla offers work-from-hamba-office-co-working-whatevers across NYC, Berlin, and London because apparently, allowing choice is how you win 2025. Meanwhile, Olipop spends millions on employee gold PPO insurance plans instead of dusty desks, and Toptal whispers sweet nothings about an 80/20 remote/In-person fantasy existence. Zapier throws annual meetups where 800 global employees actually see each other—proof Zoom fatigue might finally get ghosted.
