NO Search Option but still a good thing. How is it gonna be different than 37Signals' http://weworkremotely.com
great job on launching something! i'm working on something similar in this space. i think you will have a hard time attracting users (and therefore jobs), being that there are already remote job boards out there. chicken/egg markets are though to enter, thats why i'm trying a different angle with my project. especially weworkremotely will be a though competitor, since developed by the guys from basecamp they get a lo…

Great initiative! It seems like remote working is becoming more of a thing lately, which I think is aweseome, after ~7 years in the it-business I've made myself the promise of never taking a mandatory 40h/week inside-the-office-job again. So kudos for helping getting remote offers out there. That said, I always cringe when I see the "employer confidential" flag on job postings... I for one would never apply for a job…
Their application was one of the more onerous, asking all kinds of questions, but I put up with it. It took me about an hour to complete.
The promise made on the website was "once we get your application, we'll send you an email with info about the company".
Well, I got an email... and in it was several more questions, plus the comment "we're in europe so we're used to paying european salaries, are you willing to work for less? How much will you work for?" ... but no information about the company.
Won't be doing that again. They basically just wasted my time.

At the same time, some companies that formerly embraced remote employees have decided that it's better to have them under one roof. Recent notable examples: Yahoo and Reddit have told all of their remote employees to relocate or find a new job.
These changes, particularly in the Yahoo case, reflect poorly on those managers in my mind, not on the concept of remote work.
The ideal programming environment is effectively remote- every engineer in their own office, with multi-party audio or video (e.g.: google hangouts) for collaboration.
If your primary cost is engineering staff, why would you make them %50 less effective when they're working and on top of that take 2 hours out of their day each day for a stressful commute?
Hi, this is my first potentially revenue-generating project, that I built in 2 weeks. There are still a few features missing (e.g. CV upload) but the general functionality is there - including the Github authentication. Would love to hear what people think :)
Let me search for that elusive remote FORTRAN position! :-) I would prioritize this over all others as it lets you search for "european" or technology, or "hip chat" if, for instance, you're sensitive to the chat system the employer uses.
Covers a lot of bases.

It's focussed purely on developers (hence the Github integration that some jobs require) and it provides clarity on whether a job is truly remote anywhere or remote within a specific region.
That said, how would this be different from StackOverflow Careers? They have a search option for remote and it seems like companies are actually respecting what the checkbox means.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I like the concept! I'm a freelance developer and working on my own web app for freelancers as well. One problem I have with services like these tho is the chicken/egg problem. I just did a search for contract positions and only saw two. As a dev, I wouldn't want to visit the site again unless I know there will be a lot more jobs posted.
Yep, I always knew this would be a problem. Nevertheless I felt it would be worth putting it out there to gauge the interest in something like this. I'm happy to say a lot of people are interested (and new jobs are showing up on the board too) so I think there's scope to solve this problem. I have a few other ideas with respect to increasing traffic which I hope to apply to it in the near future.
