Building remote teams requires trust, async collaboration, remote support and an understanding of context and culture for other team members. We are the first remote jobs platform to make these a key part of the conversation between candidates and employers.
Hey folks 👋,
Excited to be in the Maker seat for the first time and thanks very much to @pollock for the hunt!
Before you run screaming at the thought of another remote job board, ask yourself:
"what do existing remote job boards do that's specific to remote?"
Existing solutions don't cater for the things that make remote work - trust, async collaboration, team culture, and remote specific support.
🧑🏾🤝🧑🏼 People and teams first
With Remotely, each job listing shows the location of remote team members, the hours that team members tend to collaborate, the exact countries the role can support working from, and remote specific benefits and support such as home-office budget or location independent pay.
This gives job seekers a much better sense of the kind of remote team they might join, and employers a chance to show that they are genuinely committed to making remote work.
🏆 The best experience for everyone
Existing pricing models for traditional remote job boards are unrealistic. Posting a job often starts at several hundred $ and then quickly ramps up with 'extras' like paying just to show your company logo.
Not only do we think this is unfair, it creates a dark pattern where companies can pay extra for a 'featured' ad, which is coupled with a poor search experience for job seekers. This incentivizes poor UX in order to charge more to job posters.
With Remotely we offer a single, low fee based on the length of time you want to post your job (starting at just $89). All ads are treated equally, and we provide powerful search features on top to let users easily find what they are looking for, including searching by time of day!
🎁 We want your feedback!
We are just getting off the ground and have a lot of plans for how we put people, teams, trust, culture and async first when finding the right fit for a new role - but more than anything we are really excited to hear your ideas and feedback.
As well as the Product Hunt discount listed above, we're offering a 1 month listing on Remotely completely free to 3 of the best questions, ideas or suggestions of the day.
🙏🏻 Lastly, a special thank you to some of our super early supporters @triketora@stanmarion@colinpflynn@beuno and @benoj - all hiring on Remotely right now!
Let us know what you think! 🎉
@bea_heathers Thanks Bea!
We have offer 3 pricing levels based on the length of time you want your job to remain active:
$89 - 1 week
$149 - 1 month
$199 - 6 weeks
No matter which option you choose, all posts receive all features and are displayed equally. We have some localised currencies as well (£ and EUR) and will be adding more very soon!
@pollock Thanks Tristan - I spent a long time looking at how e-commerce sites handle filters and facets to get inspiration and I'm pleased with the results. Over time with more roles added it'll be interesting to see the different facets that emerge - and happy to take any suggestions!
As a remote engineer myself, I really like how well the data is structured and how easy it is to find appropriate working timezones. That’s a hassle most of the time. UI is amazing and I’m happy to see more and more products being build with tailwind. Accessibility is great and the UX is close to perfect. Having worked with Duncan before, I know the passion and attention to detail that will ho into this product. Great job, my friend
@_duncanhall Congratulations on the launch! Really like the clean UI of the website. In terms of usability, I would love to see some more filterable categories, especially non-tech categories. It would also be great to have some resources for the new visitors, for example some material on how to approach the job opening, how to apply, etc. I understand that this is just the beginning but these suggestions can be put in the back-log for future reference 😅
@adityavsc Thank you Aditya, this is fantastic feedback!
A really big ambition for Remotely is to enable remote work for everyone - not just those of us in tech related roles. We've focussed early on with tech and related roles to get quick feedback on the basics but we are keen to branch out and support remote work in areas where it's currently less available.
Part of that challenge is helping companies themselves approach remote work, so resources on how to do so is a great idea - for both job hunters and posters! We definitely hear you on better category filters as well - we're striving to keep the interface as clean and simple as possible so this will be our next fun UX challenge!
@_duncanhall So true. There is a need to work on both ends of the spectrum. We are in the transition zone but the future is remote, I have no doubt about that! Love your energy. Wishing you all the success :)
