That's a clean design. I'd make the top part smaller though. Maybe trim down the logo size, move it to the left, move the search bar up top, and put the results closer to the top.
Also, since your listings are one liners, I'd put more listings per page.
Those tags you have, (design, content, management, etc.) make them clickable and group all those jobs under it. It at least looked like it would be that way.
I noticed that you are getting a fair amount of postings from Authentic Jobs. Are you importing them by hand? How are you determining if they are truly remote? I find AJ is a really strong source of freelance remote work, but I also noticed that not all of the jobs using the "telecommute" tag on AJ are entirely remote.
Similarly, there are a good deal of postings on AJ with geographic restrictions on who the poster will work with due to time differences. For a site that is strictly remote jobs, you may want to include either a work day filter, where night owls on the West Coast can still team up with European companies or a filter that hides European positions with time constraints from West Coast users.
Thanks! Yes, I'm importing jobs from Authentic Jobs using their API. I'm looking at doing the same with a few other sites, too. Any suggestions are welcome :-)
I filtered their results by both the "telecommute" flag and searching for "anywhere".
It's a really interesting idea to list timezones. I hadn't thought of that. Maybe when I get some more jobs posted, I'll ask employers if it's something they'd want.
I'd say timezones is definitely something you want to have available as information.
I've gotten needlessly excited about possible remote jobs way more times than I can count only to find out that they only want people within ~2~3hrs of NYC or SV(I'm in UTC+2 so that's 7hrs and 10hrs respectively)
Thanks, yes, I'm going to install an SSL cert shortly. Technically it's low risk without it, but I definitely want to cover my bases, and make the user feel good, too.
I honestly couldn't find another job board that only listed remote jobs. As of yesterday, there's one other :-) And searching for remote jobs on the established sites was generally very clunky. So I think it's a niche that needs some attention.
SimplyHired, Indeed, & JobG8 all have api's you can use to backfill jobs that you might want to check out. You can drill down your search query to just include remote jobs I'm guessing.
Please please please add an optional field for salary (hourly or yearly), and let me filter by jobs that specify salaries. Emailing dozens of jobs just to find out they pay $15/hr is a huge waste of time.
Would it be worth adding some sort of optional region field? Some people may only be willing to hire people in certain countries or time zones for whatever reasons.

EDIT :: Sorry, for the bluntness, I read the tittle as ONLY remote worker job board, rather than the remove worker ONLY job board..
I actually reached out to him. We both have remote-only job boards AND personal finance apps. I'm nervous to find out what he's building next :-)
This looks well done. Good job.

Also, what other technologies did you use?
