Article first published July 29, 2022 and last updated February 28, 2024.Trends show that remote jobs are dominating the recruiting playing field. Jobs that allow you to work from home at least part of the time attract seven times more applications than in-person jobs, according to research from CareerBuilder.  Get your job listings in front of the right people by posting to the right job boards — ones that cater to remote workers and remote companies. Here are the 16 best job boards for remote work based on their pricing, features, reach, and ability to help you attract top talent as efficiently as possible.

Best job boards focused on remote work

Attract job seekers who are exclusively interested in remote work opportunities by posting to these job boards. These are great sites to post your open roles to because they get your job listings in front of candidates specifically looking for remote roles.

1. We Work Remotely

We Work Remotely (WWR) is one of the most popular remote job boards for remote workers in all industries and positions. The site provides resources that help both remote workers and remote companies, whether through its blog or its remote work Slack community — the largest in the world. With its brand recognition also comes results: We Work Remotely fills 90% of its listings, with an 80% customer return rate month-over-month. Save time on sorting through applicants by having WWR specialists manually screen and prioritize candidates into batches based on the best fit for the role. You can boost your listing’s reach with a host of add-ons. WWR can promote your job posting on its social media, Slack, and partner networks or through its daily mailing list sent out to remote job seekers worldwide. Other add-ons improve your job posting’s visibility on the site itself by highlighting the post or pinning it to the top of its category. Audience size: Over 3M visitors/monthPrice: $299 per month per listing. Bundle pricing is also available upon request.

2. FlexJobs

FlexJobs focuses on remote and hybrid roles in all industries, helping over 4 million job seekers find flexible roles. More exclusive than many other job boards, FlexJobs vets every employer and job listing to make sure that they’re legitimate. Meanwhile, job seekers must purchase a membership in order to browse job listings. Because FlexJobs charges job seekers for access to its job board, you might reach a smaller audience than its free-to-view competitors. However, this exclusivity grants businesses access to high-value candidates who aren’t interested in wasting time.An employer subscription to FlexJobs includes an unlimited number of job listings and access to valuable features like candidate resume searches, ATS integrations, a branded employer profile, and reporting insights. Increase visibility for your job listings through add-ons like virtual job fairs, webinars, social media promotion, highlighted placement and targeted email blasts.Audience size: 3M visitors/monthPrice: $399 for one month/$859 for three months/$2,999 for one year

3. SkipTheDrive

SkipTheDrive advertises remote and virtual jobs in all industries, though it mostly focuses on tech. The site makes it easy for job seekers to find your jobs by setting up alerts when new openings are posted. And if you don’t find the right candidates, that’s okay; SkipTheDrive guarantees a full refund within 30 days of listing your job if you’re not satisfied. SkipTheDrive is light on features and add-ons, though. Employers can’t search through a candidate resume database, filter applicants, or restrict their listings to a specific region. Its user interface is a bit messy and inconvenient to browse. Despite all this, overall, you’re still likely to get a large number of applicants for a lower price point than with its competitors.Audience size: 120,000+ visitors/monthPrice: $99 per listing for 30 days

4. Remote OK

Remote OK is a colorful, easy-to-browse remote job board, focused mainly on tech jobs but also catering to broader roles. Its API cross-posts listings to 126 online job boards and guarantees at least 200 “Apply” clicks, or it will automatically bump your listing for free. It encourages employers to post remote job opportunities without location restrictions, with a filter for “Worldwide” jobs featured on its homepage. Everything comes at a cost, though, and Remote OK’s is rather steep — and that’s without including any add-ons. The company offers a wide variety of options, from adding your logo on listings to auto-matching with suitable candidates. These range in cost from about $50 to well over $1,000 per post.Audience size: 5,000+ site visitors/month, 1.8M cross-post reach, and over 205,000 email subscribersPrice: From $269 per post for 30 days. Bundle discounts of up to 50% for multiple listings.

5. Jobspresso

One Jobspresso, please! This remote job board focuses on remote positions that let employees work from anywhere, including a café. Jobspresso is hard to beat when it comes to value, with its relatively cheaper pricing and included features that competitors charge extra for.Whether you’re paying for a single job listing or five, jobs posted on Jobspresso run for 90 days, three times longer than its competitors’ typical 30-day subscription. In addition, Jobspresso offers a longer satisfaction guarantee than competitors: within 30 days of your listing’s expiration date, instead of its posting date. If you’re not satisfied, the site will either post your listing again for free or offer a refund. All pricing plans get access to Jobspresso’s candidate database of over 5,000 remote workers all over the world, which you can filter by title, skills, and location.The downside: Jobspresso’s audience isn’t as big as its competitors, so it’s up to you to decide if the price gives you enough bang for your buck. Audience size: 100,000 visitors/month, 15,000 Twitter and Facebook followers, and 5,000 email list subscribersPrice: $299 for a basic job listing or $349 for a featured job listing/$889 for three listings/$1,219 for five. Listings last for 90 days.

6. Working Nomads

Working Nomads targets digital nomads — professionals that work from anywhere while regularly traveling or moving around. Its thorough tagging and category system allows for easy navigation and browsing. Working Nomads attracts a dedicated but smaller audience of job seekers that want to work from all over the world. This is a great site for posting your job listings if your company gives employees the freedom to travel and live abroad while they work. Priced cheaper than most competitors, Working Nomads also lets you relist a job for a 50% discount.You get what you pay for, though, and with Working Nomads and its lack of add-ons, that’s not much. You can’t make your job listing stand out on the site, with no options to highlight your post or build your employer brand. Working Nomads also lacks candidate filtering or an applicant database to search through, a downside for more proactive recruiters. Audience size: 2.5+ million yearly users and 200,000+ LinkedIn page followersPrice: $199 for one job/$567 for three jobs/$895 for five jobs for the first 30 days.

7. Remote.co

Remote.co caters to a large audience of remote workers and job seekers. Its clients get a dedicated employer page, where you can answer questions about your remote work culture to attract more applicants and build your brand. Unlike other sites that charge to include your company logo, Remote.co posts your logo on your job listings for free. Your job listings also come with quality control and design review by a Remote.co admin. Despite its large audience, the site’s UI isn’t as clean as its competitors. There’s also a limited number of categories for jobs. If your listing doesn’t fall into one of those, it’ll be placed in the undistinguishable “Other” category. Remote.co also doesn’t offer a candidate database or any add-ons to make your listings stand out.Audience size: 1.5M views per month.Price: $299 for 30 days. Bundle pricing available for multiple jobs.

8. RemotePOC and RemoteWoman

RemotePOC and RemoteWoman focus on getting remote job listings in front of diverse candidates in various fields. They also curate remote work Slack communities that uplift women and professionals of color. Posting your remote jobs to these forums is a great way to build a diverse team. All job listings come with a tracking link that integrates with your ATS.On the downside, both RemotePOC and RemoteWoman are growing brands with smaller audiences than most remote job boards. Your mileage may vary depending on which site you choose to post on. Audience size: RemotePOC - 10,000–20,000 visitors/month and over 5,000 email subscribers. RemoteWoman - 50,000–60,000 visitors/month and over 25,000 email subscribersPrice: $199 per job for 30 days/free for paid internships/$499 monthly for unlimited job posts on Remote POC or $499 monthly for unlimited job posts on RemoteWoman. Or $799 on both sites, billed monthly, for unlimited job posts.

Best remote job boards to find developers and designers

What do developers and designers have in common? They’re both in-demand and highly skilled roles, requiring many years of experience and a robust portfolio to prove the quality of their work. Post to these job boards to recruit for these roles specifically, getting your listings in front of candidates already looking for remote roles in their specialty.

9. Authentic Jobs

Authentic Jobs helps you source candidates from all over the world with its wide global reach — according to SimilarWeb, only 11% of its visitors come from the US. It includes a job-monitoring dashboard to keep track of your applicants and job listings, giving you better visibility and organization throughout the recruiting process. The site also offers promotional add-ons to boost exposure, like cross-posting to We Work Remotely’s job board or a feature in UX Booth’s newsletter. Authentic Jobs offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, providing a free repost or full refund within 30 days after a listing is published.Because it’s industry-specific, Authentic Jobs advertises job postings to a smaller, more niche audience than more general-purpose remote job boards. It also lacks features like a candidate resume database, candidate matching, and ATS integration that help proactive recruiters find the right candidates more efficiently.Audience size: 143,000+ visitors/monthPrice: $149 per job for 30 days. Upgrade to $199 for featured listings.

10. Dribbble

Dribbble is one of the most popular job boards for connecting employers with web designers, graphic designers, and UX designers looking for work.

Dribbble also offers a designer search engine, through which you can search through 190,000 open-to-work graphic designers. Filter through candidate tags for better candidate matching and save your searches for faster recruiting.With Dribbble, you save costs on hiring multiple roles; if you fill one job opening, you don’t need to pay for a new listing. Instead, you can delist the filled job and use your slot to swap out for a new job title and description. Since its pricing is more expensive or on par with all-purpose job boards, Dribbble makes sense for companies that want to accelerate their search for the best designers at a premium cost.Audience size: Over 6M visitors/monthPrice: $5 per day, billed monthly, for the job board, or $10 per day, billed monthly, for their hiring suite, which includes the job board and the ability to search their whole database of designers.

Best job boards to find remote contractors

Sometimes, hiring remote independent contractors makes more sense for your company than hiring remote full-time employees. Here’s where to look for remote contractors for your business needs:

13. Fiverr

Fiverr is one of the top sites to find freelancers offering all kinds of professional services, from social media management to logo design to copywriting. Fiverr tends to work well for one-time contractor projects, as you commission and pay for services per project.Unfortunately, you can’t post your own job listing — instead, you’ll have to find a freelancer on your own. And the plethora of freelancers make it time-consuming to find the right contractor for your needs.

Custom pricing for Fiverr Enterprise.

Remote-friendly online job boards

LinkedIn and Indeed are giants in the world of online job postings.

Posting your remote jobs to LinkedIn and Indeed can get those listings in front of a huge audience, drawing in talent from all over the world.

15. LinkedIn

With over 830 million members in over 200 countries and territories worldwide, LinkedIn is the most popular social networking platform for business professionals, making it a great place to post your listings. It’s also remote-friendly, featuring a “Remote” filter that job seekers can toggle to specifically find remote work. The ability to search for people’s profiles is open to all users, though sending messages to third-degree connections is a premium feature only available through LinkedIn Recruiter Lite. With Recruiter Lite, you can send up to 30 InMail messages per month, set candidate search alerts, and use up to 20 candidate search filters. And if 30 messages per month aren’t enough? Then subscribe to LinkedIn Recruiter.

Recruiter Lite: $170 per month for a single license or $1,680 per year for a single license. Recruiter: Contact for a quote.
