Hey Product Hunt! TL;DR – 3 years ago, I launched my startup here on Product Hunt – Last month, I reached $10K/month (from my bedroom) – No employees. No investors. No debt. – You can follow me on Twitter if you're interested in building microstartups

So far, I've been solving this problem We see companies hiring remotely on job boards, but we don't know much about how they work as a distributed team – Remote Hunt answers questions like: 🏙 Which cities are they working from? 💻 Which benefits do they offer? (health insurance, home office tech, paid vacation, etc) 🙋‍♀️ How do they work? (flexible hours, daily standups, light meetings, time tracking, etc) 🗺 How would my time zone fit into their remote team? While I still have a lot of ideas about how to improve these company profiles, I think I'm ready to move on to the next step of my plan. The next problem I want to solve Today, a lot of remote companies are buying traffic from remote job boards, but I think this is not a great experience neither for job seekers nor the company itself. – job seeker has to fill in different types of job application forms – job seeker usually has no overview of the process ("did they even get my application?") – company receives sometimes hundreds of applications that are so different in their quality and intention – it's not easy for companies to give good and quick feedback even when they are ready to do it and this leaves job seekers without the knowledge So, I want to make applying for remote job easier and better. I know this is not a simple goal and there's a lot of stuff to think about and consider. I think the whole application process and approach itself have to be rethought. I'll start working on it, and will be soon back here on Product Hunt to demo what I've come up with! But now, here's a quick overview of what I've been working on so far: Map of cities where the remote company works from

Benefits

Time zones ("how would my time zone fit into the remote team?")

Find remote companies based on your preferences (flex hours, retreats, etc)

Your journey is so inspiring, @raunometsa! I just checked the website and it looks superb. Btw, what's the source of the information for each company? Is it through AngelList? I think we will need to update our information since the team has expanded significantly this year :)

@adityavsc Thanks, Aditya! I started out by adding remote companies myself mostly based on their websites. Today, most companies join themselves and add their own info: locations, benefits, describe their remote work culture, etc – ike Talarian who joined today (https://remotehunt.com/talarian). I think it's true that Product Hunt's profile (https://remotehunt.com/producthunt) hasn't been updated since I last launched here 3 years ago (at least the map part). And I can't remember where I got the locations (I think I talked to someone from PH, but can't remember who). I'm happy to update, just let me know (DM me on Twitter or rauno@raumet.com); I can also send you login details so that you could update everything youself.

@vincentguittet Nice, thanks! I had to change the name from RemoteHub to Remote Hunt, because I had the domain remotehub.io and .com was for sale for $6K. I didn't have the money, so I thought I'll buy it in the future. But then, someone bought the .com and built a remote jobs site on it. I thought that there's no room for both of us in the same remote work field, and them owning the .com I ended up buying remotehunt.com (of course inspired by Product Hunt) for $3K and changed the name. Took some time to get used to, but I'm fine now :)
