Remotive review: curated remote jobs, most of them behind a paywall
Remote job board
Remotive is a job board for remote work, with many jobs in software, data, customer service, marketing and sales. Free visitors see only a small share of the listings. A paid membership unlocks the rest.
Who Remotive is for
Remotive suits people who want a fully remote job, above all in tech and other office roles, and who are ready to pay for their job search. Each listing says whether it is open worldwide or only in certain regions or countries. Remotive points out that many remote jobs are limited to some regions for legal, tax or time zone reasons.
What Remotive offers
- Job search by category. Members also filter by location, skills, seniority, language and salary.
- Location filter: shows the jobs open in your country, your region or worldwide.
- Membership: a paid plan with all listings, new jobs a day before others see them, custom job alerts and saved searches.
Who pays for what

How to apply
Click a listing and you are sent on to the company's career page or application link. Remotive takes no part in the application. As a free visitor you see only a small share of the listings. For the rest you need the paid membership.
Where the listings come from
Companies can post jobs on Remotive for a fee and import them from their applicant tracking system. By its own account, Remotive also curates a far larger number of remote jobs, which it says it takes straight from the source. Either way, each listing sends you on to the employer's career page or application link. Paid listings are also shared with Google's job search.
