All my work has been on-site, and now I'm considering remote work. To successfully gain consideration from a company that's hiring remote workers, it may be useful to know why they decided to run their business remotely. What are the biggest reasons that explain why any company would hire remote workers? For example,
- maybe it's a lack of qualified local candidates?
- To have a large selection of talent to choose from?
- To eliminate the cost of office space?
- Remote workers will accept lower salaries?
These are just guesses. Has anyone had experience with remote work, to answer the question of why?

There is a multiplicity of reasons why a company will accept remote work, not just one. Your list of reasons is by nomeans exclusive: The President of Sales at a company I used to work for got married while a New York City resident and moved to the state of Maine. Since he was a the CEO's friend, the CEO allowed him to teleconference with us instead of showing up. Nobody including myself missed the fact that he was not physically with us.

If you have a track record as an employee and you argue that not having to go through a commute from hell will enable you to kick in more work instead of being held hostage to morning traffic,yyour case might resonate with your management if they value both you as an employee and the work you do and there is a critical deadline looming. If the job requires your physical presence every day,forget it. If you are a nurse or a paramedic, you HAVE to be onsite.

Having said that, I don't like the format of your question because it doesn't look like you are in a situation where you have to have the answer and your question has the look and feel of a question that is asking for speculation.

@VietnhiPhuvan there are jobs listed which make a point of noting that the work is remote. I was wondering why some companies are searching for remote workers to hire. I am considering working remotely and knowing the likely motivation for wanting a remote worker may help in getting hired.

If you want to know their likely motivation, you can ask them directly. Speculating about the possible reasons either throws your cover letter out of focus or if you guess wrong, off-target. Needless to say, communications that don't have focus because you're trying to cover all the angles or that are off-target because you're guessing wrong - that won't help you get hired.
