Show HN: Created a Job Board for Remote Programming Jobs
Based on the multiple "Who's hiring remotely?" and similar posts on HN, I thought it might be useful to have a site that aggregates remote programming jobs. There is way too much spam out and an inconsistent way to say "work from home" so traditional searching doesn't work (or rather, takes a long time per person). I've worked in a few remote programming positions so I figured I might know of some companies or searching tricks to find them.
Let me know if you'd find this type of thing useful. If we can get some traffic going, then maybe we can start attracting companies to actually list their jobs with us.

- jolan 16y agoIt'd be nice if freelancers could post their resume/company info as well.
- kls 16y agoI disagree, I think this is a good idea with potential, diluting it with freelancers, will attract the crap shoot that elance, guru and the rest are.
- AmberShah 16y agoYeah, I would only want to do this if I had a way to impose a certain level of quality. But really, that's the problem I'm trying to solve with www.codeanthem.com

- horofox 16y agowill do good if you get enoght jobs :)
- kungfooey 16y agoWhat sets this apart from Elance, oDesk, Rent-a-coder, et al?
- anthonyb 16y agoTo me it looks like they're aiming for more nichey, hand picked full time jobs, rather than sites like Elance which are geared more toward one-off contracts.
- AmberShah 16y agoYep that's it. It's for full time "regular" coding jobs, and not part time gigs. Plus the big time sites mentioned tend to have ridiculously low pay gearedat outsourcing, NOT recruiting top talent.
- RACNicole 16y agoAmberShah, vWorker hosts jobs contracted at wide price ranges. Some jobs are priced low as very small business projects under $100(USD) while others are priced at $50,000 and more (enterprise business projects are priced at $50,000(USD) and above). You can bid on jobs of your prefered price range by customizing the site to filter out Projects that you aren't interested in. Projects that don't meet your filters, will not show up on the site, nor in your daily newsletter (if you've chosen to receive it). -Nicole
