Good job guys and thanks a lot to you and HN. By using Remote Jobs we filled a position which we couldn't fill via websites such as Stack Overflow Careers (for the last ~6 months)

W00T! Thanks! That's a feel good!

Now did you remove your completed job req or do we need to? ;-)

I removed it, thanks.

I wish I could vote this up more. Sadly some one already fills the space well. StackOverflow. Too bad they charge to post...

Yeah, there are definitely a lot of job boards out there. We just wanted to see if we could help the niche of remote workers by de-cluttering jobs that don't support them.

Thanks for making this (and pivoting, which I believe is a great idea too).

As someone who lives in the middle of nowhere currently, I will definitely follow.

Very slick visually. How do you plan to support the site later? Feeds/reminders for new posts that fit your criteria would be nice too.

PS: The Drupal developer job doesn't appear to exist anymore.

I might just be looking at this wrong... Is there a way to list the jobs? I'm only seeing about 7 total.

they just made it free, give people a little time to post some jobs.

That's all there are at the moment. Maybe we'll get more today? :D

Could I get some backstory? Why is the site based on HN suggestions (which I can't say I agree with).

you didn't see the link at the top? ("the story behind . . .")

I did, but in the HN link on that page I didn't see where there was an overwhelming suggestion to make it free.

That was based on our initial Show HN here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2250526

Thanks.

The position/payment options for submitting a job should be check boxes rather than radio buttons.

Is that because you'd like to specify a job as being for design and development (as an example)? I ask because check boxes are used when multiple options are selectable, but we went with radio buttons to keep job types separated.

I agree on design/dev, but for freelance/full-time, hourly/salary - both could be options.

Smart move. Clicky: http://remote-jobs.com/

Handsome, usable, and useful. I love the color coded attributes on the grid, especially.

Thanks =), glad you like the design. I had working on it.
