Remote job boards

There are dozens of websites, facebook groups and communities dedicated exclusively to remote job listings. I highly recommend utilizing remote-specific job boards in addition to the usual suspects (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.). Not only will you have a greater chance of reaching the right candidates who prefer remote positions, you'll be increasing your company's reach in general.

Hiring remotely: It's a numbers game

Our remote job board list is extensive for a reason.Don't just cherry pick a couple of sites that look good; post your remote job opportunities everywhere you can! After all, the more places you post, the wider the pool of talent you'll have to select from!And keep in mind, if you're worried about spending days filtering through hundreds of candidates, we can help. Read our article here to learn more. We talk about the top 5 traits every remote employee should have, as well as how to quickly identify and filter out unfit candidates.

Access to talented candidates worldwide

One of the biggest benefits of offering remote jobs is the ability to choose from candidates anywhere in the world. Limiting your company's visibility to only a few job boards is a HUGE missed opportunity. Our list includes some of the major remote job boards in multiple different countries. After all, the best talent for your open position could be anywhere. Utilizing remote job boards across various countries will open your company up to more talent and more growth.

Stand out by increasing brand awareness

Making sure the right candidates see your job postings is much more challenging for smaller companies or startups. This is another reason to play the numbers game. Posting your job opportunities in as many places as possible will make you more competitive. Just think about it. During any candidate's job-seeking journey, chances are they will visit TONS of job board sites on a daily basis looking for the right opportunity. The more remote job boards you post to, the higher the chances of any one candidate seeing your company's name multiple times a day. At the end of the day, they'll remember yo. For startups and smaller businesses looking to grow, this tactic is fantastic for brand awareness. Now that you know how to be competitive as a remote hiring manager, let's get to work!
