Top 5 Pages Where Software Developer May Find a Remote Job
Year by year technology continues to advance, and remote work is becoming more common in a multitude of industries. Especially when it comes to being a software developer, there is no need to be forced to work from the office, which is also associated with a waste of time on commuting. However, a question arises — where to find the perfect remote job as a software developer? If you have no idea where to start or you have already looked through the whole internet for the right opportunity but it came to no avail, we will make it easier for you. Below you can find a list from ITCraftship of Top 5 pages to find a remote job:
RemoteOK
Remote OK is one of 12 startups set up in 2015 by Peter Levels. To be more precise it is a job board that aggregates over 25,000 remote-focused job listings across the web. However, not all of them are directed to software developers. Substantial advantages of Remote OK are certainly: an extensive database of offers and ease of use of the site. There is also no need to signup. Although, if you want to find the right job offer, you need to look through hundreds of boards and waste your time. Also, filling the resume section over and over again can be quite irritating. Clicking on any of the offers redirects you to the official job AD, where you are often required to fill out a specific form.
GitHub Jobs
If you are a dev, you must have heard about GitHub. If somehow you didn’t, we hasten to give you the answer. It is a code sharing and publishing service, as well as a social networking site for programmers. GitHub also runs a page where you can find job listings from all over the world. Pros of using it? Looking through the job board is easy, and most of the ADs are up to date, so you have a great chance to catch the right offer for you. Unfortunately, there is another side to coin. If you feel like applying, you are required to send your resume by email to a specific company mentioned in the offer and wait patiently while hoping it won’t be ignored.
nixa.io
If you value your time and do not like to browse hundreds of ads for devs, nixa.io can be a real godsend for you. It is a recruitment platform focused on finding the perfect match between software developers and employers. How does it work? All you have to do is to sign up and complete the recruitment process. You need to do it just once! No need to apply to different companies over and over again. Your profile will be displayed for employers who joined the platform. Another benefit is that your competition there is smaller in comparison to the job boards mentioned above. Nixa is dedicated to more experienced devs — if you’re a junior, you may have to pass on this opportunity. If you’re a mid or senior dev — it raises your chances of getting a job in a much shorter time than with standard application. The platform is new and still growing — that might be the only drawback.
Remotive
Remotive has many good reviews. Most of the members appreciate the work that has been done to give people the opportunity to work remotely. If you are interested you can get their tips by email, join the community, and, what is most important for this topic, browse remote jobs. To let you know a little bit more about a company that is hiring, besides the general overview, Remotive added links to social media and contact information. However, you cannot apply specific filters while browsing job ADs. The only filter you can use is the tag “engineering”, which contains, well, everything.
We Work Remotely
We Work Remotely boasts about containing the largest community on the web. It isn’t narrowed only to software developers but includes people from various industries. When it comes to job offers you can look through them by using standard categories. The downside of the platform is that the way of applying to a position is not always the same, what might be a little bit confusing. The “Apply for this Position” button can redirect you to a company’s official form, or to your mailbox. Some of the users also complain that many of the opportunities were accessible only for North Americans, not globally.
Remote work has many benefits — that we know for sure. To mention only a few of them: flexible schedule, ability to work while traveling, or being able to simply work from home. When we check the statistics, we may notice that 90% of remote workers plan on working remotely for the rest of their careers (according to the “State of remote work 2018” report). Once you go remote, you’ll never go back. We encourage you to try.
