So the next report / analysis needs to be:
Of everyone who asked for work or applied for work via these posts - how many secured a position?
I've long given up on these posts trying to find freelance work or other permanent work. There's to much competition (here) to stand out from the flood of replies.
- jedberg 8y agoAnecdotally, the one time I posted a job, I had about 80 replies for a remote work junior engineering job where I specified the salary at $60k/yr in the post (this was in 2015). Of those 80, about 10 were promising and I probably would have made an offer to at least one or two if we hadn't shifted priorities and stopped the hiring process.
- Domark 8y agoI applied to matching jobs for three months about five years ago. Also did the same earlier this year for three months. My advice: skip this site and weworkremotely.com. Both are complete wastes of time based on the responses. If you’re in IT, your best bet is LinkedIn (for a referral) or Careerbuilder/Dice/Indeed. At least those will result in face to face interviews. Also find companies you like and apply directly on their website.
