I built People Remotely to hire without the resume pile

Hi IH — I'm Jahnavi, founder of People Remotely.

What it is: A hiring site for global remote tech roles. Employers post a role and get a small shortlist of matched candidates in about 24 hours, not an applicant feed to sort through. Candidates build one profile and get matched to roles that fit their skills and work setup,

Why I built it

Same loop, every time:

Post a role → inbox explodes → portfolios that all look the same → weeks of screening → hire someone from your network anyway.

Job boards optimize for application volume. I wanted the opposite: post once, get a short list of people worth talking to.

I'd been doing that manually for a while — JD in, screen, send names. People Remotely is that workflow with a front door anyone can use.

How companies benefit

Less screening:
You get a small shortlist, not hundreds of resumes.

Faster to interviews:
Matches come back in ~24 hours, scored on skills, seniority, and work eligibility.

Free to post. No upfront fee to list a role.

Human review before you see anyone. Matching runs first; a recruiter still approves before names hit your inbox.

Optional short trial. Try someone for a couple of days before a longer commitment.

Hire end-to-end if you want. Contract or C2H, payroll and onboarding handled, not just introductions.
Try it

Posting a role needs signup. If you'd rather not create an account, ask in the thread and I'll walk through the employer flow.

Stack: Next.js, Supabase, optional OpenAI for JD parsing. Skill matching works without the LLM too.

I'm early. Founders: would you post a role here, or is your network enough? Would a short paid trial before a senior hire feel useful or awkward?

    The shift from “job board” to a curated shortlist is a meaningful distinction, especially with the human review layer. I’m curious which side of the marketplace is proving harder to activate so far.

      So far candidates are easier. Companies less so. Curious what would actually help grow the employer side, or if you’ve hired recently, what would’ve made you try something new?

        That makes sense. The employer side sounds like the more interesting part to understand.

        Happy to compare notes sometime — what’s the best email to reach you on?
