How to apply
Open the listing and use its apply button. The employer decides where it leads. It goes either to an external page, such as the company's application system or career page, or to an e-mail to the company. Premium members see new jobs before they are public, so they can apply first.
Where the listings come from
By its own account, employers post their jobs on Remote OK and pay for each post. Remote OK then passes every paid job on to a large network of other job boards and sends it to its subscribers by e-mail. So Remote OK is a source other boards copy from, and the same job can turn up on many smaller sites.
