I think remote contract only repo (in a separate repo) would be great! Thanks for putting in the work, literally

Thank you! Would it be more helpful to break this into separate repos by every geography? We have a "remote" folder at the moment: https://github.com/zcor/githubjobs/tree/master/remote

Thanks for replying, I saw the remote folder, that’s a good direction, I just don’t know if with github I can watch that single folder for communication.

My particular interest in this project was that if the many interviews I explore for a job end in rejects, then at least maybe I might get paid a referral bonus as a sourcer for the job. After spending 6 hours onsite and getting denied, seems only fair to get paid if I can help source?

How does the bounty work?

We have full details at https://jobs.rezscore.com/redballoon -- we tweak the structure each month based on results from the prior month, but it's based on a formula of clicks, applications, interviews, and hires. The leaderboard updates in real time as does your personal dashboard with a display of your stats.

Of course the payout structure is at our discretion, we can only imagine how people will try to game this. While we encourage some creative thinking, we want to avoid outright spam.

Why are the bounties so low when a recruitement company would easily take 15-20%+?

The early companies who have been trying this out this have the advantage that can could post at a discount and still get added exposure.

A big shout out to the companies who recognized this discount and will be rewarded with great value: Eight Sleep, Polis, Standard Tokenization Protocol, Zimperium, Adnomi, Checkbook, EnergyHub, Apptentive, PagerDuty, BetterHalf, Power Integrations, and EverQuote plus others I may have missed.
