| To search a job from a specific employer, you can just search

| Thanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate your responses.
| We will be incorporating recommendations as received in the

| I offer this perspective as someone who is only willing to work

| painful for me to look at, even for a second. It's the first time
| I can remember ever yanking my phone away from my eyes because of
| how jarring a logo was.

| There's a good chance this is not an issue for people who just
| have a _preference_ for working remotely, and so might not be
| worth considering if they 're your target market. But for those
| of us who might come across your site because we _depend_ on
| remote work for gainful employment, it 's so bad as to be
| exceptional.

| That's an interesting ailment. Have you tried Dark Reader? It

| If you're on Windows, you can apply filters to your display
| output. f.lux has those. I used to use grayscale mode.
| Sometimes you have to turn colors off to realise just how
| distracting they can be.

| i guess it's inspired by google's logo. but for reasons that i

| MaxCool wrote:
| I guess it could be because of the brighter yellow of the

| em-bee wrote:
| i think it's more than that. google logo only has four
| colors. though you probably don't want to copy the google
| colors exactly. i'd research some sensible color schemes.
| there are design tutorials about that.

| Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry if the logo hurt your eyes

| make it appear less painful. I guess the colors are brighter
| which may have made it feel that way.

| Because this is going to come up, what's the advantage of using
| this over, say, weworkremotely?
| MaxCool wrote:
| One of the advantage is that all the jobs are from authentic
| sources and we plan to have the highest number of remote jobs.

| There are tons of job boards out there. Every flavor imaginable.
| The main problem is not finding the job listing, it's:
|
| 1) the signal to noise ratio both for the employer and for the
| job seeker
|
| 2) the broken and high-cost interview process
|
| 3) the uncertainty of how the employee will turn out even if they
| pass the interview and the uncertainty of how the job will turn
| out for the employee

| Thanks for your comments. Those are really valid and good
| points. We will consider those in further development. Can you
| please also provide your recommendations on how can we assist
| in solving that issue.

| If you search for a term that has no results. It says "Snap! Your

| MaxCool wrote:
| Thanks for your comment. Can you please suggest a better
| phrase?
| danaris wrote:
| Perhaps something that indicates _no_ results, rather than
| (erroneously) _one_ result?
| MaxCool wrote:
| Thanks for the suggestion. The snap! was added to show that

| intended search.

| Pet peeve: please allow filtering by location and/or nationality

| MaxCool wrote:
| Thanks, will do. Perhaps a filter for this will be a good idea?
| throw14082020 wrote:
| Agree, but this is not a pet peeve. This is quite a fundamental

| MaxCool wrote:
| Thanks for checking out the link and commenting. Will include

| Seconded, especially as most jobs clearly state in their

| yep, 100% agree with you. This also became a lot more common

| Verified handpicked 19k jobs? Really?
|
| I'm a little bit skeptical...
| MaxCool wrote:
| All the companies who offer remote jobs are handpicked and
| their jobs are checked to ensure that they are for remote work

| notwhereyouare wrote:
| Yea, second that. I think they just picked some sites to
| scrape. I found a paid research study listed as a job.
|
| While it's technically a 1 time contract job, it's not a job
| MaxCool wrote:
| Thanks for your comments and pointing that out. There is no
| scraping done. We are not claiming all jobs to be permanent.
| The only thing is that all jobs are remote. Will include a
| filter for this reasons.

| The service is provided for free for job seekers.

| There is no affiliate link and we are not getting paid from
