The Job Board Report: Remote Jobs
Another Job Board Report is here. This edition is all about finding remote jobs.
While many big tech companies are mandating a return to office policy, there are still many companies hiring remotely.
You just have to know where to look.
Let's get into it.
This week's focus: Remote Job Boards
Review: RemoteWoman and RemotePOC
Overview
-- Both Remote Woman and Remote POC are job boards focused on the intersection of remote jobs targeting women and People of Color respectively.
Who it’s good for
-- Women and POC job seekers looking for jobs in Marketing, Design, Development, Product, Sales, or Support.
Pros
-- Remote Woman has 4000+ roles posted on their job board.
-- Both job boards have major tech companies (Hubspot, Zapier, NYT, Wikipedia, etc) posting open roles
-- Many job postings have the salary listed
Cons
-- If you are not looking for jobs in one of 6 job categories above these job boards are not useful for you.
-- There is no search bar on the home page of either site (it's in the drop down menu to the top) so the UI is a little frustrating at first.
Unique features
-- The founder of both these job boards, Jaira, has a podcast where she interviews women who work remotely to uncover the real stories of remote workers.
-- The RemotePOC job board has a section for paid internships which is cool.
-- Both job boards also have associated Slack communities where recruiter source directly and you can network with others in your field.
Ease of use rating - 4/5
Job quality rating - 3/5 (because of the limited job categories)
