The salary difference between US and EU makes me cringe.

#42Congrats! I launched a job board recently too [1] specifically for Anon Friendly jobs (jobs where you can work pseudonymously). We have similar domain names :D One thing you might want to look into is adding Structured Data [2] for job postings. Doing so "makes your job postings eligible to appear in a special user experience in Google Search results". It could help you reach more people. [1] https://anonfriendly.com…
I don't think I understand what it means to work pseudonymously and esp. to hire/get hired that way. How does a company check references, past work history, diplomas, anything really, if the candidate won't share their name?
The idea is super interesting, though, but a detailed explanation on the website would help.

#43One very simple feature that most job boards seem to lack is to filter out companies; if, after checking out one position, someone decides they don't want to work for a specific company, it makes little sense to still show them all the other positions.

#44Job boards need to focus on signals and data that matters. - remote definition plus remote where? Not everyone is US based. Timezones may be important - salary currency, benefits, rays, bonus, etc. Salary based on geo or wherever you are? - tell me about culture without a team ping pong photo - why is the company worth applying to, what's the growth rate and funding, how long in business - leadership info and views t…
A link to the "Remote working" policy document publicly hosted on their main domain would be a solid choice, with key points summarised in the job posting.

#45Personally I can't wait until non-remote job boards start showing up. Most jobs I see advertised are remote or at least hybrid and list this as a headline benefit. But I want to go to an office and be around other people. I know I'm in the minority these days but I can't be alone.

Good question! So a candidate is sharing their name. It's just not necessarily their legal/government name. They're not anonymous. They're pseudonymous. Meaning they're just working under a different name. But there's still a name.
In many cases, the individual would operate online and work under that one pseudonym, as opposed to changing their pseudonym every day. That way, they can accrue reputation, and an employment history, and credentials, under that identity, just like they could with their legal/government identity. So if you wanted to evaluate a potential candidate, the process would look pretty similar to evaluating a candidate who has provided their legal name. With a few differences here and there.
I think it's interesting too! Thanks for saying that. You're absolutely right about including a detailed explanation on the site. Will add that for sure.
Of course, people could choose to have multiple pseudonyms too. Each would have its own reputation and history. There's a lot of interesting work going on to make it possible to port some reputation between identities without necessarily having to expose your different identities.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
Good question. So many of these jobs all you to work pseudonymously but your legal identity is still shared with some members of the organization (like execs/HR/finance) for onboarding purposes. Some just pay out in cryptocurrency to a wallet address.
Interesting, but if my legal information is still shared with the company, what are the benefits of getting paid in crypto?
Many of the benefits of being paid in crypto are just benefits of crypto in general: decentralized, permissionless, censorship-free money.
Aside from that, there's an emerging trend that I think is both really cool and will end up being the default way most people are paid. That trend is "payment streaming". Products like Superfluid [1] let you stream cryptocurrency payments. Staff could be paid in realtime rather than waiting to receive a monthly paycheck. That will prove really compelling for prospective employees and I think that most organizations will eventually make the switch to streaming salaries. Some organizations even have public dashboards that show how much is being streamed in realtime and to whom. The transparency is super cool!
In the near future, we'll look back on the way we get paid today as unbelievably suboptimal and anachronistic.

#50I maintain a GitHub repo of companies that hire remote devs: https://github.com/nmajor25/companies-hiring-remote-devs.
Could give you some additional sources for your job board.
