One big point about remote companies is that most companies even if they are remote still want employees that are in a similar time zone. So if you're in Japan it's unlikely a European company will hire you as the times zones are so different you essentially never be able to communicate with each other in real time.
This means that you should have something on this job board to indicate where they want to hire people from otherwise it's completely useless.
- achow 4y agoValid point. But another reason for hiring to be restrictive is due to taxation reasons. Companies may have constraints. Starting in September, you can live and work in over 170 countries for up to 90 days a year in each location... https://news.airbnb.com/airbnbs-design-to-live-and-work-anywhere/ https://news.airbnb.com/airbnbs-design-to-live-and-work-anyw...
- Dave3of5 4y agoYes you're correct also local labour laws. One countries generous holiday package may be below the legal minimum for another. Most companies I know that operate internationally have subcompanies in each company they have employees in. Any FTE is employed by the sub company for taxation and legal reasons. That's a high admin burden for a 10 person start-up easier just to employee people in the same country.
- AbiTyasTunggal 4y agoCouldn't agree more! It's clearly not obvious enough, but you can filter jobs by time zone or visa requirements if you head to https://himalayas.app/jobs https://himalayas.app/jobs - sounds like we'll need to add something similar to the /companies search eventually :)
