I'm not currently looking for work but whenever recruiters contact me (which is a lot since the pandemic for some reason) I always make a point of saying that I will only consider remote work just to get that idea out into the universe.
Make it a point to also ask the hiring manager or someone on the team what remote means. Sometimes recruiters are not on the same page as the team or the rest of the company, and some companies have "unique" definitions of remote work.
Anything else is a potential waste of a lot of our time.
