Is there a way to see potential job descriptions before signing up?

#12Sorry, what makes this different than all the other remote job boards that have been posted at HN over the past years? https://hn.algolia.com/?q=remote+job+board
That it is not a job board :-) You create your profile once, and the companies contact you with remote work job offers.
Fair enough. So it's more of a LinkedIn with a focus on remote work?
Thanks for the explanation!

#13There's never any remote FPGA or circuit design work posted.
I know it's niche, but a ton of embedded stuff requires or utilizes them, and it's a relatively difficult skill to hire for. So you'd think it would be a great fit for remote work.

#14I hope you are screening based on actual skills and not just what they look and sound like.

#15"Commission per hire: 15% of annual salary"
So basically getting the same fee as a normal recruiter, without them doing any of the work.
Lower fees will attract more companies. For the standard recruiter fee, I rather just use a firm.

How many companies are actually on the platform?
I'm currently in the market for a remote job, but have a hard time seeing how this would deliver me value over actively applying to remote job board positions.

Quick EDIT: I just noticed Basecamp as the first company in your showcase. Basecamp has been on a hiring freeze for 18 months now with a public blog post about it.
Are you actually working with those showcase companies or simply mention them because they're well known remote-first/remote-friendly companies.

Doesn't that have a pretty big hardware dependency? That seems like the biggest challenge of working remotely.

They are claiming to pre-screen candidates which in case of remote job I think is not a bad idea.

The recruiter fees start at 20%, and they are usually 30%+.
Also, with our service, the companies get instant access to lots of pre-screened developers, which they don't with recruiters.

Last time I consulted for a startup, they sent me something like 15k worth of hardware, and I just expensed stuff like cables.
You can get a big bad FPGA development board for a few grand, but finding people who are any good at all with FPGAs is really difficult.
