I can't be the only one that gets frustrated at these remote only career sites that don't display salary/day rate. It's such a waste of time for both parties to have to go through the hoops just to find out that the compensation is not worth it. Stackoverflow does it best - provide a filter for jobs that don't provide compensation info.

Salary has been added to the job search results for the positions that list it.

As a former remote worker, showing the salary would be priceless and instantly put you on top. Nothing worse than wasting your time and finding out a position is severely underpaid.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It also searches job descriptions for those keywords. If the keyword is in the job description, the result is returned.

Searching for `nim` the language, returns results with words like `animation` or `minimal`.

This is a known problem and I'm afraid I don't have an easy solution for that right now.

The problem is that a separate index must first be built to assign all related tags to job listings as some don't have any and others don't have all related ones.

Once that is completed, the search functionality will be reverted to what it was initially with the ability to search by strings and/or tech tags individually.

I've been contemplating how I'm going to achieve this for a couple weeks and have a pretty good model in mind but no ETA on when it will be implemented.

I think this area has been done to death. You should make it free to post a job. There is no traffic on this site I would post a job for http://textita.com but $300.00 for a zero web traffic website is crazy

Zero traffic? It's far from zero traffic. The domain was averaging 1k unique visitors per day before there was even a site from typo's while people were looking for other remote job sites. That's actually what convinced me to finally develop it.

I initially launched it in September but that was more of a soft launch to see if it would be worth my time and the traffic has been increasing. The past 2 days have been a bit higher with this HN post and averaged between 4-5k unique visitors / day.

Congrats, on launch. But change the logo. It looks pretty similar. https://remoteok.io/hire-remotely BTW how are you getting listings?

Yeah, we both use the Google font named Pacifico. I may change it but a font change is pretty low on my priorities list.

The listings come from feeds of numerous job sites and applicant tracking systems. I run them through custom filters to pull out the ones that are specifically remote-friendly.
