The "Developers hired through our service" section is super fishy. I googled the 2 devs presented and found their Linkedin. The guy hired "in Portugal by a Danish company" doesn't list any Denmark based company in his profile. The one hired "in Spain by a German company" seems to live in Eastern Europe and doesn't list any German company in his employment history. Also, including Basecamp, Gitlab, Zapier, Trello, etc…

The guys have not updated their LinkedIn profiles - but feel free to reach out to them to ask them! The company that hired Klaus is now hiring 2 more remote developers through our service.

Is there a way to see potential job descriptions before signing up?

You don't see the job descriptions - the companies see your profile and get in touch. This approach is better for the developers, you don't need to make lots of applications, just 1 profile.

"We will review your profile and ask you to submit a short video to ensure that you have good fit with working remotely." Why is a video needed? Seems counter-intuitive; someone's age, appearance, and presentability are probably less important in full time remote work (should never be a factor in any job, but the reality of course is that there is a likability factor for on-site workers). The only thing I can think o…

On the internet no one knows that you’re (not) a dog.

"Pass our screening" -- I both like this, and do not like it. While I agree that not everyone is made for remote work, most of the skills to communicate and work effectively when remote can be taught. So what are you screening for? The underlying personality traits that make or break working remotely? Or the learn-able skills? Also, while not as important, it is worth noting -- for people like myself who have been wo…

May I ask, how do you find working remotely? I imagine the freedom aspect is nice, and the fact that you don't have to spend x mount of hours every week commuting, but were there other deciding factors in your case?

Would you recommend a remote job over a job "on-site"?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What if they do it locally? The information is already out there. Having someone in jail doesn't help you.

No, but they're presumably less likely to do it in the first place due to the deterrent

"presumably less likely"

The words every investor wants to hear.

Not necessarily better for the developers. If you don't have any recruiters or jobs I'm interested in, its a lot of work to create a profile and no benefit. In fact, it could just create a bunch spam for shady, underpaying gigs.

On the contrary, you'll get contacted for a bunch of stuff you have no interest in. Just like on LinkedIn if you happened to mark yourself open to offers.

Is much better as a dev to just send an app for a few jobs.
