I don't know how to contact the "whoishiring" user, but could the template be changed so that the remote location(s) are specified. Lots of companies say "REMOTE" but mean "REMOTE (US)". It's hard for people outside the US to know whether they are eligible.
I suggest location(s) are comma-separated in parentheses with a special value "Anywhere" for any country in the world.
Timezones should also be allowed, in which case they should be in brackets []. The assumption with timezones is that any country in the timezone range is allowed.
eg:
"REMOTE (Anywhere)"
"REMOTE (US, Canada)"
"REMOTE [UTC-1 to UTC-3, ET, PT]"

- luzojeda 2y agoYep, it's not very useful to people outside the US really. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a niche for a latin american Hackernews (•̀ - •́ )

- dang 2y agoOK, I've adjusted the text at the top. Is it better? I had to take out the INTERNS and VISA bit in order to make it fit, but those (especially INTERNS) didn't seem to be much used.
