It's interesting that there hasn't been a remotes jobs board dedicated for Australia up until now!

Kinda weird right. I guess it shows how little consideration there was for remote working in Australia pre COVID.

"pay what you want" feature is too risky, but quite interesting and affordable. Just curious - How do you think how many companies will pay more that $1?:)

With this job board, can everyone from other part of world can work for Australian companies? or is it for Australians only?

Initially, the job board will show all remote jobs that Australian’s can apply for meaning the companies could be from anywhere. So the answer to your question is yes BUT it depends on the company and their specific requirements. For example there is a bunch of jobs live on the board right now that are open to anyone from anywhere. Hope that helps.

There are two main reasons we chose to launch with ‘pay what you want’ 1. We wanted to to our little bit to help businesses during COVID

2. Drum up interest during launch and make the barrier to posting a job as low as possible initially.

‘Pay what you want me is not a long term pricing strategy. Likely we’ll raise it to $99 in August and test higher prices until we find our sweet spot.
