Sorry, what makes this different than all the other remote job boards that have been posted at HN over the past years? https://hn.algolia.com/?q=remote+job+board

That it is not a job board :-) You create your profile once, and the companies contact you with remote work job offers.

Fair enough. So it's more of a LinkedIn with a focus on remote work?

Thanks for the explanation!

There's never any remote FPGA or circuit design work posted.

I know it's niche, but a ton of embedded stuff requires or utilizes them, and it's a relatively difficult skill to hire for. So you'd think it would be a great fit for remote work.

How many companies are actually on the platform?

I'm currently in the market for a remote job, but have a hard time seeing how this would deliver me value over actively applying to remote job board positions.

Quick EDIT: I just noticed Basecamp as the first company in your showcase. Basecamp has been on a hiring freeze for 18 months now with a public blog post about it.

Are you actually working with those showcase companies or simply mention them because they're well known remote-first/remote-friendly companies.

Doesn't that have a pretty big hardware dependency? That seems like the biggest challenge of working remotely.

"Commission per hire: 15% of annual salary" So basically getting the same fee as a normal recruiter, without them doing any of the work. Lower fees will attract more companies. For the standard recruiter fee, I rather just use a firm.

They are claiming to pre-screen candidates which in case of remote job I think is not a bad idea.

The recruiter fees start at 20%, and they are usually 30%+.

Also, with our service, the companies get instant access to lots of pre-screened developers, which they don't with recruiters.

Last time I consulted for a startup, they sent me something like 15k worth of hardware, and I just expensed stuff like cables.

You can get a big bad FPGA development board for a few grand, but finding people who are any good at all with FPGAs is really difficult.
