Is it a product company? For now, the list is focused around product-based companies (while having few of the consultancies included, too).

No it’s a consultancy

I always wondered why US companies are almost universally interested only in Remote/US candidates when there are millions of qualified world-wide applicants ready to work remotely on US hours. There exists companies that act employers of record allowing you to hire remote workers all over the world, and other than the internet connection lag, there should be no impact for a remote employee. There must be some untappe…

Most probably the hassle/liability of messing up taxes. If you are hiring someone abroad the simplest way still is to hire it out as contract work.

remote.com makes it easy

What, pray tell, does "decent" mean in this context?

Means they made the list. Oracle is on it, so decent can't be used in the popular sense here.

Fair point, I wanted to avoid big tech. Forgot about that one, TBH

"hiring", checked like 20 companies, and only found one that was actually hiring

True, not every company is hiring actively at the moment. But having basic info (tech stack, etc.) you're able to take a chance anyways. BTW Feel free to subscribe to the job alerts. Every email is going beyond that companies list. Sending the next batch tomorrow.

Is the "Show HN: I send 100 remote jobs for Europeans every week" claim from last week realistic or does it also include companies currently not hiring?

That's the service that an employer of record provides: they hire the worker locally and deal with all resulting payroll & tax complications, liability under local labor laws etc. while the US company pays a flat hourly fee to an overseas service provider.

True but you still need a willing employer on the receiving end.

Judging by the list it probably means "not gambling/crypto/laundering" so pretty good filter. Edit: nope, has got some online casino stuff in there. Ew...

Yep, this is also one of the conditions.

Forgot about that one you've mentioned though. Another one to get rid of.

Have to admit, it's sometimes hard to check. One of the companies I was interviewing with, pretended to make sports software. Later on it was just pure gambling.

Because Americans like working with other Americans why does there need to be a reason. Its simple and easy, shared culture, same laws for the most part, shared expectations, ease of communication both time and language. Why do we need to justify it!
