What is the IH equivalent for the remote job search community?

Hey IHer,

I truly appreciate how supportive and engaged the IH community is.

I'm building a product for remote job seekers and would love to understand the community and its pain points better.

Apart from a few subreddits, I haven't found an engaged remote job seeker community yet.

Has anyone come across a community they would recommend?

Thanks so much.

    Apart from reddit, there are some remote jobs groups on facebook .

    Hi Salil, I'm not a job seeker, but in the past few years, I hired quite a few remote colleagues. Not sure if it helps, but here's what worked for me, as the employer. By the way, it's typically the employers who pay for "job seeking" services, not the job seekers if you see what I mean...

    One obvious choice is UpWork. It has it's idiosyncrasies, but if used well, it can do the job. For hiring developers, Stackoverflow Jobs works wonders. It's ridiculously expensive but when hiring multiple employees with a single job posting, it can send a lot of really great people your way.

    Hope this helps refine your idea :) .

      Thanks @tmoravec, this is very helpful.

      How expensive is it to post a job on Stackoverflow?

        IIRC we paid something around 6000 EUR for a year. But it's been a while. Considering it's a B2B relationship, I can imagine every client gets different price.

          Wow. That's a lot. Thanks for sharing this.
