That it is not a job board :-) You create your profile once, and the companies contact you with remote work job offers.

Fair enough. So it's more of a LinkedIn with a focus on remote work? Thanks for the explanation!

How many companies are actually on the platform? I'm currently in the market for a remote job, but have a hard time seeing how this would deliver me value over actively applying to remote job board positions. ---- Quick EDIT: I just noticed Basecamp as the first company in your showcase. Basecamp has been on a hiring freeze for 18 months now with a public blog post about it. Are you actually working with those showcase companies or simply mention them because they're well known remote-first/remote-friendly companies.

  Looks like a "growth hack" :|

    But they post their summer vacation photos on the company web site. What's more legit than that? https://remotemore.com/about https://remotemore.com/about

      A lot of mega companies faked it until they made it

  "We aim to bring all of those companies on our marketplace" Sounds like they are not working with them at all, but want to. If I were them, I'd be worried about those companies coming down on them for mis-use of their logos.

    Ah, I skimmed over that. Looks like this site is going to be a hard pass for me. Questionable ethics touting companies like that.

      Pretty standard "made you look!" SEO strategy, just like how Walmart and Amazon list products on their sites that are out of stock.

      It's a rough in, I guess. Site has spelling errors, you sign in with linkedin.. but, you still have to enter all your details (job experience, skills, etc). There's no way to change your email address, or delete your account. When you click on 'contact', you have to use email.. they don't have a build in messaging app. I'm guessing it's very much a work in progress. Which is fine, but ... not for me yet.
