A remote job portal for India

Hey, I built a small web app listing curated remote jobs that are hiring in India. The original idea and scope for the website are much larger, but I had to start somewhere. Job boards attract a lot of traffic, and I've been through the pain of finding jobs which are available in Indian timezone among the sea of US/EU only job postings. Here's my product:

I'd love feedback, criticism and discussion around it, thanks.

    Very nice . Can you add this job to the list https://angel.co/company/blockonomics/jobs/283350-web-developer-contract. Did you consider taking up domain having words india and remote in them. This will drive more traffic from google. A well known example is https://weworkremotely.com/

      Thanks, Adding the job to board today.

      Yeah, I did look at some domain names that include remote and India but none of them was appealing enough (simple ones are all taken). Also, I just wanted to move to execution so picked this and started building - hopefully, once all intended features are up there, I'd take another look at available domain names and rename/brand it.

        Great let me know when done and then I can retweet it. Also I think instead of company name here https://prnt.sc/qtftq6 location like Hyderabad, Bangalore is more relevant. Anyway company would be a startup and unknown. Otherwise I really like the site design, nice and clean !

          Done, the listing is live here: https://undesk.in/job.php?job=web-developer-9467

          Yeah, Since all jobs are remote displaying location wasn't the priority but it's in the plans. Currently - I'm working on highlighting jobs that are from India and hiring remotely in India (creating a map tag for the jobs that are from India to give them extra attention). Thanks for valuable feedback, much appreciated.

            Yes makes sense. The job post has been retweeted. Maybe highlighting salary would be a better idea. I like your project and would love to get more involved, sent you an email
