I also subscribed to your list. It sounds like what I have been looking for recently.
Just to comment on my experience, after selecting skills I spent a while looking for a button to continue or to save what I selected. I had seen the notification that my selections were saved automatically but I still looked for a button to click. It might be very basic but I finished feeling slightly unsettled and with a nagging feeling that the sign up process was incomplete.

Thanks for the subscribe and feedback! I've just updated the "onboarding" a bit by adding
Nextbutton so it's more clear what to do next.

Well you convinced me to sign up for weekly emails. :D
However, for step #3, I received an email that has a link to confirm my email address, but the link goes to

Post a job for $199 ?
Is that a mistake? Is it suppose to be $1.99?-

It costs a lot to post a job. That's actually less money to post a job than most places.

WOW... sry, im really not into "posting jobs" kind of thing... never new that posting a job would a "Luxury" purchase. Thanks for letting me know I'm gonna keep my self away from those kind of websites.

If you're looking for a job, then the site and similar sites to it are free.
If you're looking to hire people, then that's where the cost comes in. A $200 - $400 purchase to hire the best talent is not a luxury, but the average and expected cost of doing business. To spend less would be to endanger yourself and your company by increasing the chances that you'd hire less talented people and, in the long run, cost yourself many, many thousands of dollars.

I am actually experimenting with the pricing a bit; for each session, random value from [$99, $199, $299] is chosen.

what a milestone!
what I want you to do is to invest in inbound marketing. Because it will help you in a lot of ways like improving your search engine ranks and establishing your website as an authority in the space.

Asking the user to select the kind of job they want might help give the sense that you have all kinds of remote jobs available
Yes that's what happens right after you subscribe, but apparently I need to make it more obvious that it's really personalized.
Thank you!
