- spraak 10y agoI don't really like this site and others like it. I could be wrong, but it appears to be an automated scraper of real managed content like https://weworkremotely.com/ https://weworkremotely.com/ which is what I'd recommend and found my first remote position through
- zo1 10y agoThe last time I tried one of these "work remotel" sites with an "io" tld, they ended up re-using my email address on other business ventures. Essentially some tard thought that I was a "lead" because I signed up for updates for a specific set of remote job criteria. I never got any of those updates, instead got emails promoting some other website/startup that the same guy ran.
- pieterhg 10y agoAh I think that was me! Sorry about that. Email alerts are working now, and I'll never send anything else to there anymore.
- amalrik_maia 10y agothis https://weworkremotely.com/ https://weworkremotely.com/ is really interesting but I notice a lot of jobs require the candidate to be an US resident, that doesn't make any sense to me.
- spraak 10y agoWell, it's usually due to taxes. The company I work for hires people from other countries officially as contractors, otherwise they would need to maintain a legal presence in every country that they hire in - or so I'm told.
- amalrik_maia 10y agotks @spraak for clarifying.
- sytse 10y agoYes, this is a difficult issue. At GitLab we have people in more than 30 countries. In the majority of countries we have contractors, in some (US/NL/UK) we have a company, in some we hire through a reseller (India/China), and in Belgium we can hire on the Dutch payroll due to the EU. I hope someone starts the Stripe/Adyen for payrolling people. If you plan to do so please email me so I can help with advise and be your first customer and investor. EDIT I made a blog post about this https://gitlab.com/sytses/sytses.gitlab.io/commit/e9a000d321430937027fc6f30fb3e99179e61fa4 https://gitlab.com/sytses/sytses.gitlab.io/commit/e9a000d321...

- dirtyaura 10y agoA good idea. Also non-trivial to do, which would give a moat if executed well. Btw. This seems to be a more readable version of the URL, one that you posted linked to git commit https://sytse.com/2016/12/28/adyen-for-payrolling.html https://sytse.com/2016/12/28/adyen-for-payrolling.html

- pieterhg 10y agoYou're right, it's fully automated. It tries to save people time having to search all the big traditional (non remote) job boards for remote jobs.
- bdcravens 10y agoA lot of remote work sites are like web theme sites - a Google search would make it seem like there's a plethora of options, but the reality is most are recycling the same primary content.
