    Hi, I'm working on a jobs board website project. Do you have any pain point to share? edit: better question.
    • tdfx 12y ago
      Actually my experience with WeWorkRemotely was my favorite of all the jobs boards I've used. They carved out a specific niche and do it well. The other ones try to be everything to everyone, and always seem to fail.

      Regarding remote job postings - make it clear if this is US-only remote or world-wide. Also - please make sure that it is easy to search for terms like "C++" and "Go". Regarding locations, it should be easy to search for "Remote" AND "C++" AND "Europe".

  We've found great developers on oDesk.

  If you're willing/able to chop the work into tiny digestable chunks then Odesk.com or Elance.com might be a good fit. The downside is that sometimes it takes longer to explain what you need done than it would be to just do it yourself. I've outsourced to a number of agencies, but typically they find you, not the other way around (just check your LinkedIn inbox). Angellist (angel.co) and Careers.stackoverflow.com are two places worth sifting through. Typically pretty high-caliber devs. And of course there is the Craigslist gigs section...sigh... which is actually a good place to list a hiring ad if you're looking for outsource teams, because 95% of the responses you receive will be from overseas.
