We Work Remotely

Review:

We Work Remotely claims to be the largest community of remote workers in the world and receives over 1 million website views each month. While very little of the website traffic comes from Australia, the platform offers employers access to a large international audience of candidates for remote working positions.

We Work Remotely is a career platform that only features remote jobs, which limits the number of job seekers actively using the site compared to a more general job board. The site offers a few useful features such as logo displays and job highlights, but not as many as similar boards, such as Adzuna.

Pros:

• We Work Remotely is a global, niche job board dedicated to remote working opportunities.
• Job posts are distributed to over 20 partner sites, including Google for Jobs and SitePoint.
• The candidate filer option utilizes specialists to screen and match candidates with employers.
• Job posts can be shared via social media for increased reach.
• We Work Remotely integrates with Workable and Wrk ATS.
• The site features employer branding and company profiles to help attract candidates.
• We Work Remotely offers several additional features, such as job highlights, logo displays, and being placed prominently in emails.
• The site receives over 1 million visits each month.
• Employers receive up to a 40% discount with job posting bundles.
• The site features a number of resources, such as a podcast, newsletter, events, remote working trends, and hiring guides.

Cons:

• We Work Remotely is costlier than similar competitors, such as Mumbrella Jobs.
• There is no region-specific search category for Australia.
• The website automatically selects add-ons for purchases. Employers must manually un-select these.
• All three job posting plans limit social media sharing to two posts.
• All plans are quoted in U.S. dollars.
• Customer support is only available via email and trading hours are not stipulated on the website.
