We Work Remotely review: remote jobs from employers who pay to post

We Work Remotely is a job board for remote work. Employers pay to post their jobs there, mostly in programming, design, product, customer support, sales and marketing. You need an account, and with the free plan you can apply only to some of the jobs. A paid plan unlocks the rest.

Who We Work Remotely is for

We Work Remotely suits people in tech, design, product, support, sales and marketing who want a fully remote job. Each listing carries a region tag. Anywhere in the World means the employer hires without limits on location or time zone. Many other jobs are open only to people in certain countries or time zones, so check the tag before you apply.

What We Work Remotely offers

• Job search by category, such as programming, design or customer support, and by full-time or contract work.
• Region tag: each listing says whether you can work from anywhere or only from certain countries or regions.
• Free account: browse and save jobs, upload your CV and follow companies.
• Pro: a paid plan with unlimited applications and custom job alerts by e-mail.
• Job Copilot: a paid AI tool that applies to jobs for you.

Who pays for what

Job seekers

Nothing for an account that browses and saves jobs. Applying beyond the jobs open to everyone, and custom alerts, need a paid plan with a long minimum term

Employers

Pay for each listing, which renews automatically unless they cancel, with paid upgrades for more visibility and a paid option to limit a job to certain countries

How to apply

Open the listing and click its apply button. You are sent to the employer's website or applicant tracking system, or asked to apply by e-mail. You need an account. With the free plan you can apply only to listings the employer has opened to everyone, marked as boosted. All other jobs need the paid Pro plan.

Where the listings come from

Employers post their jobs on We Work Remotely and pay for each listing. Some post through their applicant tracking system, which passes the job on. By its own account, We Work Remotely also spreads each listing to partner sites. So it is a source other sites copy from, and the same job may turn up on smaller boards.
