There's TOO MANY (remote) job boards. But many of my friends are still unable to find a remote job. Why? Because they don't have the time to look through hundreds of boards for specifically remote jobs. And the remote boards out there are too dispersed. So I built this. Think of it like a search engine for ALL remote jobs out there. It aggregates all remote jobs from lots of different sources and then if you'd like to apply for a job, it links you back to the source. I'll be adding more sources, like @rodolphedutel's Remotive Jobs (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) and many others. I meet many people that are ready to go, but simply can't cause they're tied to a desk job. I hope this makes it easier for (normal) people to actually go remote. And that'll help my little nomadiv revolution go faster too 😍 — as that's become somewhat like my personal mission :)

@rodolphedutel @levelsio Good luck. It seems very clear.
David McGraw
@rodolphedutel @levelsio Well done! Passed it over to a few buddies who are having trouble keeping up with all of the job boards out there.
Rodolphe Dutel
@levelsio Looking good Pieter, well done on creating an aggregator here! Cool to see an overview :) At Remotive, we'll continue to focus on selected jobs from our Partners (Remote Startups), we're happy to be part of Remoteok.io :)

@levelsio Hey Pieter, I notice you have "Follow @levelsio" and "By Levels.io" at the bottom-right of your site. Have you ever written about why you brand each site towards yourself rather than towards the project? I have about 5 projects on the go and often debate whether I should brand them back as a "RossDCurrie company" or to develop each brand separately. Would be curious to see your reasoning.
levelsio
@rossdcurrie It was kind of random at first, but it's definitely helped to lead people back to my blog and from there to my other projects. I think in this zeitgeist people like to follow a story and the building of a product, so it works. Like most of these things, I really didn't plan that at all though, honestly :)
David Parrelli
Looks a lot like Working Nomads (www.workingnomads.co/jobs), which I launched this time last year on Product Hunt. Lots of traction now in the remote space!
levelsio
@dparrelli Thanks David! Working Nomads is a big one, would love to source that too if you like. Difference is that R|OK tries to index all jobs out there, the opposite of curated.
Pedro
@dparrelli @levelsio i'm currently driving my team to push for more remote jobs on JOBBOX.io - could be interesting to source from us too. Congrats btw!
levelsio
@dparrelli @pcbo sure, can you provide me with a json feed?
Jonny Miller
Rad idea. I can see this scaling very quickly!
Rachel Berry
Well done yet again, @levelsio. Can you explain how the points work and what they represent? Can't seem to find a pattern to them.
levelsio
@cmrberry Yes, good question! I should make that clearer 😀 The points are based on salary, equity and popular tags like iOS, Swift, Node. I'll be tweaking the algorithm to score the jobs better.
levelsio
@cmrberry Added a tooltip now :)
Marko
What a coincidence. I just put together a collection of remote jobs for designers today. @levelsio maybe you can find some additional sources to implement in Remote | OK. It would be cool to have all the high quality job boards in one place. www.producthunt.com/xzarexhc/col... :)
Rob Williger
This is wonderful. I am really focussed on finding a remote job so this will be a wonderful tool for me and I am sure many others. I have signed up for the weekly list. I love the layout and design of the web page. Great work.
levelsio
@robertwilliger Thanks Robert, hope you find your job!
Fred Rivett
@levelsio Looks really useful & beautiful too. One small design tweak I'd look to make would be to add something like tr.job:nth-of-type(2n) { background-color:#fcfcfc; } (that probably won't work perfectly, but is along the right lines) would make browsing a little easier. Other than that though looks great.
levelsio
@fredrivett Thanks Fred, tried adding that but for some reason the whole block after this week becomes colored. Can you try it live?
Fred Rivett
@levelsio Hey Pieter. The issue with my code is that nth-of-type will select all elements, including date headers and other rows. The easiest way would probably be to wrap each section in tbody tags (as you can have multiple of these) and then style those with tbody.jobs tr:nth-of-type(2n) { ... }. Details on tbody here: http://stackoverflow.com/questio... Sorry I can't be of more help, a tricky one to fix that.

This is pretty cool @levelsio! You said it pulls from multiple sources already, but just from poking around a few minutes I've only seen jobs from Angel List. Maybe I haven't dug deep enough. Also, will there be a way to filter by type of position at all? For non-technical people like me, even though these remote jobs are all in one place now, I still have to sift through most of them to find something relevant to my skill set. Still pretty great though!
levelsio
@mccauley_jay Yep, I'm adding sources as fast as I can. Angel List is overrepresented because posts there are non-paid. It'll balance out in the future once I add more sources.
Bhavesh Patel ✌️
This is great! Recently started looking for remote jobs so this will be really helpful! Great job @levelsio! Question: will you be adding filtering, by job type?
levelsio
@bhavesh yes filters are next, probably will look like those on Nomad List

We recently launched https://tarta.ai, a good alternative to all these remote job boards. Tarta AI can monitor open vacancies, match you with the best jobs and set up an interview with a recruiter in seconds. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Badass.

every time i try to search using custom keyword, it jus doesn't allow you, instead preselects the keywords that they have in site.

Pros:

site is buggy

Cons:

the search doesn't work well

Remote OK is a job board for remote-focused job opportunities.

I've been applying to different companies for the past few months, and it's definitely the best of class of the remote job boards – Solid design, easy-to-use, great job postings.

However, most of the job postings are developer-focused, so if you're not a developer you may not get immediate value.

Pros:

Great for developer jobs, clean design, no need to signup

Cons:

As of Jun 2018 not many non-developer jobs

Pieter, this looks awesome! Fantastic idea, serving a real need, yet building off the value proposition and strengths of Nomad List. You're on an amazing roll!
Dylan Feltus
Great stuff @levelsio ! Similar concept to Jobscribe (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) but it isn't hand picked like JS. Guessing it is similar to Working Nomads in terms of being automated and quality. Keep up the great work man!
levelsio
@dylanfeltus I think most others are curated, R|OK is an aggregator.
Avi Zuber
Just checking this out now, looks awesome! Since you're pulling in from other sources, is there a way for you to a) take off jobs that are already filled and b) weed out the ones that are not actually remote? I love Working Nomads but once of the issues I faced using it (while searching for a job) was that every now and then I would contact a company and they would tell me the position is not actually remote or that it's remote, but only for the right candidate.
Kimberly Wolfson
I love remoteok.io! I also love weworkremotely.com. I think the latter is influenced by Jason Fried's book, "Remote." I'd love to see more marketing and analytics postings on all of those Remote work sites. I would also love to see more employers offering Remote work, Remote with travel, or flexibility for occasional Remote work in roles that require more in office work.
Marcus Karoumi
Great. Levels is back (or he hasn't even left yet)!
levelsio
@mkaroumi Haha yes, I was a bit busy with growing Nomad List :)
Lewis Lin
Great work! Can you put salary information more prominently in the core feed? It's probably the first criteria I would filter for, and it would save me a click.
Steve Harman
Great idea @levelsio ! If the data's available (and if not, could it be....) have you considered showing a small country-flag on the home page alongside each job listing, to identify which country / countries the poster accepts applicants from? atm it's a case of going into each posting only to find there's a 'US only...' restriction.
