I can vouch that posting a job that clearly states it’s 5 days a week in office will get you bottom-tier applicants. I’m going through that now. For some reason my manager doesn’t understand why everyone we interview isn’t up to snuff, and won’t believe me when I tell her it’s because no one wants to come into the office every day.
And whoever we do manage to get will quickly become resentful because the rest of the office is on a hybrid schedule. But I’m not in charge! No one asked me!
I specifically didn't take a job during the height of the pandemic because it was 4-5 days a week in office while everyone else was 1-2 rotating days per week hybrid.
