Why We Choose We Work Remotely, Working Nomads, and Jobspresso:

Our top three remote job boards are established and well-trafficked. Their focus on remote jobs and wide reach attract both remote job seekers and employers. Typically, remote workers from Australia and around the world do not limit their job searches to general, local job sites and they are highly likely to visit these popular niche sites.

We Work Remotely is our top choice. The site is easy for job seekers to navigate as it allows them to view the latest jobs by category, geographical location, and type. Since We Work Remotely only lists remote work options, users don't have to filter through hundreds of listings to find what they are looking for.

For employers, We Work Remotely is easy to use and has transparent pricing with add-on options for those who want to promote their listings.

Working Nomads has categorized remote job listings. When you create a listing, you can add tags so that it appears in custom searches on the site. Remote job seekers subscribe to email updates from Working Nomads, so they are notified of new job postings on a regular basis.

Jobspresso allows employers to list jobs worldwide, or by country or continent. Any employer who purchases a job posting package has instant access to a database of more than 5,000 remote candidates. The site also shares new postings on its social media accounts.

Things to Consider When Evaluating Remote Job Boards:

  1. Top-ranking remote job boards serve an international audience. Australian employers can either benefit from their wide global reach or opt to post jobs that are restricted to local candidates.
  2. Some job boards advertise a mix of remote and location-based jobs. Posting on a site that is geared toward remote work may help you to attract more relevant candidates.
  3. Major job boards, such as Indeed, are good for exposure, but they often do not have remote work filters for job seekers, so your opportunities may be difficult for remote job seekers to find.
  4. Options to promote your posting or add a company logo may cost extra, so look at more than just the base price.

We Work Remotely vs. Working Nomads vs. Jobspresso:

The top remote job boards all offer access to a large but niche audience of global remote job seekers. However, We Work Remotely (WWR) has the largest audience by far with approximately 230,000 hits per month on their website. It also features a search filter for job postings that are restricted to Australia-based applicants.

WWR is also the only remote job board of the top three to offer an add-on applicant filter option. With this option, WWR will manually screen applicants and discard any applicants that are not qualified for your advertised role. If you anticipate a high volume of applications, this could save you a lot of time sorting through resumes on your own.

Working Nomads does not have as large an audience as WWR, but all of their job postings are shared with their email subscribers, even if you purchase the least costly option.

Even though Working Nomads features no filter to show job postings that are restricted to Australian candidates, job posts include companies' locations, and employers can create job posts with country-specific requirements.

Finally, Jobspresso is the only one to offer access to a database of over 5,000 candidates, but only if you've purchased a job posting package. Jobspresso only offers a slight discount for buying multiple postings and is far more costly than Working Nomads. However, the larger packages also give you access to all of their premium options.

What is a fully remote job?

A fully remote job is a job that can be done entirely off-site, meaning that the employee never has to be at the business's physical location in order to complete their work. In most cases, fully remote workers work from home or in a co-working space and rely on the Internet to collaborate with their colleagues.
