I always wondered why US companies are almost universally interested only in Remote/US candidates when there are millions of qualified world-wide applicants ready to work remotely on US hours. There exists companies that act employers of record allowing you to hire remote workers all over the world, and other than the internet connection lag, there should be no impact for a remote employee. There must be some untappe…

Because Americans like working with other Americans why does there need to be a reason. Its simple and easy, shared culture, same laws for the most part, shared expectations, ease of communication both time and language. Why do we need to justify it!

Because it does not make economic sense. Also because that is comically inward looking and has a whiff of racism about it on the "shared culture" side..

The US economy is not struggling and is not here to serve your interests.

Mostly law, taxes, and various regulation. US to US is pretty straightforward, the rest of the world is not.

True, not every company is hiring actively at the moment. But having basic info (tech stack, etc.) you're able to take a chance anyways. BTW Feel free to subscribe to the job alerts. Every email is going beyond that companies list. Sending the next batch tomorrow.

Is the "Show HN: I send 100 remote jobs for Europeans every week" claim from last week realistic or does it also include companies currently not hiring?

Technically speaking it's just a bunch of links, always direct links to the specific roles on the companies' job boards.

Few example positions from the last DevOps issue:

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (at Atlassian)

Senior Solutions Consultant (at Cloudera)

Senior Solutions Architect - DV Cleared (at Cloudera)

Senior Solutions Architect (at Cloudera)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (at commercetools)

Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) (at Cribl)

Senior Engineer (Tech Lead, OSS Committer) (at Eukarya)

Site Reliability Engineer (at Expensify)

etc.

And it's not 100+ jobs in a single message, ofc. Every stack is sent separately. The number of 100+ is what you got when you filter out US-only / on-site positions.

Most probably the hassle/liability of messing up taxes. If you are hiring someone abroad the simplest way still is to hire it out as contract work.

That's the service that an employer of record provides: they hire the worker locally and deal with all resulting payroll & tax complications, liability under local labor laws etc. while the US company pays a flat hourly fee to an overseas service provider.

Anecdotally, this is the setup I was offered for a remote job in an EU country different from the one in which I live. They didn't necesarily want a big company, either. They seemed fine with a company-of-one (there's no "freelance" status as far as my country's administration is concerned).
