Looked at Elance (https://www.elance.com/) or oDesk (https://www.odesk.com/)?

The standard job search sites have them as well. I get lots of recruiter emails about them, especially if you're interested in full time remote work.

I could not find a job for months on any of these. If you are ok with 15/hour, then may be you can try, otherwise - do not waste your time.

Yup, there are certain low rates bids you compete against with.

Climber.com, SimplyHired etc. I think are particularly good for remote work.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

In India, we have Naukri/Monster but remote positions are seldom as Remote working isn't a culture here.

It is yet to start.
