Show HN: Free Remote jobs search platform with verified handpicked jobs
- d3nj4l 5y agoBecause this is going to come up, what's the advantage of using this over, say, weworkremotely?
- MaxCool 5y agoOne of the advantage is that all the jobs are from authentic sources and we plan to have the highest number of remote jobs.
- theonething 5y agoAre you insinuating that not all weworkremotely jobs are authentic?
- MaxCool 5y agoWhat I am trying to imply is that these are jobs that are authenticated by us and we are striving to list the highest number of jobs posted on daily basis. These jobs are ones verified by a team (group of friends) and shared which are then put in database for users.
- gregoriol 5y agoYour mention of "highest" goes to the direct opposite of the quality you make us expect by "verified handpicked".
- MaxCool 5y agoI can understand that in general we would assume the increase in quantity may impact the quality negatively but I think we should not generalize this. Highest in this case is in relative terms. We are striving to verify and put higher number of active jobs on daily basis than other similar tools available plus we are trying to ensure the quality is not reduced for the listings that we make available.
- boffinism 5y agoPet peeve: please allow filtering by location and/or nationality requirements. So many remote jobs have them, but half the time you only find out when you apply that it's for, e.g. US citizens only, or GMT-5 to -8 etc.
- MaxCool 5y agoRelevant filter has been included. Please have a look at the new and improved site
- d3nj4l 5y agoSeconded, especially as most jobs clearly state in their requirements which time zones or jurisdictions they accept. If you're hand-picking them, it should be fine to add or scrape that data from the posting itself.
- throw14082020 5y agoAgree, but this is not a pet peeve. This is quite a fundamental feature to avoid 99% of jobs being irrelevant. This is the first think I looked to do when i got on the page, and I lasted 1 second.

- abinaya_rl 5y agoThis is the exact reason I've created Remote Leaf[1]. Remote Leaf helps job seekers save time by scouring hundreds of remote job boards and send them the ones that are fit based on the skills and location. [1] - https://twitter.com/abinaya_rl https://twitter.com/abinaya_rl
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks for checking out the link and commenting. Will include the relevant filter for this purpose.

- isuckatcoding 5y agoVerified handpicked 19k jobs? Really? I’m a little bit skeptical...
- notwhereyouare 5y agoYea, second that. I think they just picked some sites to scrape. I found a paid research study listed as a job. While it’s technically a 1 time contract job, it’s not a job
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks for your comments and pointing that out. There is no scraping done. We are not claiming all jobs to be permanent. The only thing is that all jobs are remote. Will include a filter for this reasons.
- MaxCool 5y agoAll the companies who offer remote jobs are handpicked and their jobs are checked to ensure that they are for remote work before they are inserted in database.
- gregoriol 5y agoWhat is the product exactly here? Who is paying for what?
- 6510 5y agoOr... How post jobs?
- MaxCool 5y agoWe are planning to add that feature for verified employers. If you would like to include a job as an employer you can contact hello@beefrii.com
- Bedon292 5y agoIt appears to aggregate remote jobs from platforms with affiliate link programs.
- MaxCool 5y agoThere is no affiliate link and we are not getting paid from any of the listings.
- MaxCool 5y agoThe service is provided for free for job seekers.
- dopidopHN 5y agoSmall aside : « be free, work? » those are antinomique in my book. The author of this job listing must be from the United States.
- CoastalCoder 5y agoAnother helpful search criterion would be permanently remote vs. temporarily remote.
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks for the suggestion. Will try to incorporate
- smeej 5y agoI offer this perspective as someone who is only willing to work remotely because I have significant sensory sensitivities, because I suspect there are many other people like me: The colors in your logo clash so badly/scream so loudly they're physically painful for me to look at, even for a second. It's the first time I can remember ever yanking my phone away from my eyes because of how jarring a logo was. There's a good chance this is not an issue for people who just have a preference for working remotely, and so might not be worth considering if they're your target market. But for those of us who might come across your site because we depend on remote work for gainful employment, it's so bad as to be exceptional.
- dmos62 5y agoThat's an interesting ailment. Have you tried Dark Reader? It has modes where it can desaturate everything on the web page. If you're on Windows, you can apply filters to your display output. f.lux has those. I used to use grayscale mode. Sometimes you have to turn colors off to realise just how distracting they can be.
- em-bee 5y agoi guess it's inspired by google's logo. but for reasons that i can't explain, the google logo screams less than this one.
- MaxCool 5y agoI guess it could be because of the brighter yellow of the last e. Will try to fix it.
- em-bee 5y agoi think it's more than that. google logo only has four colors. though you probably don't want to copy the google colors exactly. i'd research some sensible color schemes. there are design tutorials about that.

- rubyfan 5y agoI like the site. It would be nice to search or browse by employers.
- heliodor 5y agoThere are tons of job boards out there. Every flavor imaginable. The main problem is not finding the job listing, it's: 1) the signal to noise ratio both for the employer and for the job seeker 2) the broken and high-cost interview process 3) the uncertainty of how the employee will turn out even if they pass the interview and the uncertainty of how the job will turn out for the employee
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks for your comments. Those are really valid and good points. We will consider those in further development. Can you please also provide your recommendations on how can we assist in solving that issue.
- oliv__ 5y agoI'm having a very hard time understanding how this landed on the front page of HN
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks for taking time to check and comment. It will be nice if you can provide suggestions that can help in making the platform which you think will make it reach and/or go beyond your level of expectations.
- Bedon292 5y agoIf you search for a term that has no results. It says "Snap! Your search resulted in 1 jobs. Try searching again using a different keyword."
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks for your comment. Can you please suggest a better phrase?
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate your responses. We will be incorporating recommendations as received in the comments.
- j22jfineman 5y agoWhen I search for perl it returns entries for HyperloopTT which doesn't have any openings for perl. I assume you are just sub-string matching against all text. If I add a blank before and after perl it doesn't match any text. Wrapping blanks around perl would also preclude matching "^perl" or "perl\.". Do you have any plans to allow matching only words?
- culopatin 5y agoFor some reason your search bar lets me move it around lol. I can place my finger on it and move the text. Not a big deal. The main issue I have is that I get to the landing page and I don’t know what to do. What do I search for? A list with filters would at least give me an idea of what categories I have to choose from, or what fields are available to look at.
- MaxCool 5y agoThanks for checking the site. The behavior you mentioned about the search bar is not the expected one. Can you please tell me the browser you are using? As for the main issue you mentioned, the search bar mentions search remote jobs and the title of the site is clear about it which we believe is good enough. As for the categories we are working on the filters for them.
