Remotive

Review:

Remotive aims to streamline the hiring process by allowing employers to post their remote job opportunities at affordable rates and find quality staff members fast. The site uses a simple interface for easy navigation, ensuring job seekers can search for employers by name, and filter job opportunities using categories, keywords, and titles.

Remotive does not receive high traffic from Australia, but it is still a useful place for Australian employers to find high-quality staff from around the world. There are at least 6 profiles for Australian companies on the site, and more than 60 companies looking to hire Australians for remote positions.

Pros:

• Discounts are available for nonprofit organizations.
• There are special offers on bulk postings.
• Employers can access talent from a network of more than 30,000 tech-savvy candidates.
• Job categories include software development, business and management, sales, education, copywriting, and more.
• Listings are emailed, tweeted, and shared through Google Jobs Careers Network and Slack.
• Candidates can search for jobs through remote companies to find vacancies easily.
• Remotive has a user-friendly interface with great filtering options to help candidates find their job postings fast.
• Employers can create professional profile pages and job ads with company logos.
• Local brands such as PropertyNow, coreplus, Split Payments, and PreviousNext have used the site to find remote hires.

Cons:

• Pricing is not available in Australian dollars.
• There are more affordable job boards, such as Adzuna, where remote positions can be advertised.
• Remotive receives low traffic from Australia and may not be best choice for employers in search of local hires.
• Listings must be renewed after 30 days and employers are charged the full price of the posting each time they renew.
• There is no resume database or free posting options.
• The site lacks local customer support.

Reputation:

Remotive enjoys a solid reputation among remote professionals and is seen as a trusted source for remote job opportunities. However, we were unable to find any online reviews of the job board.

Remotive vs. Adzuna:

Unlike Remotive, Adzuna receives almost 90% of its traffic from Australia, making it a great place to source local remote workers. Both platforms lack free posting options, but Adzuna's basic posting costs A$199.00 +GST, while Remotive's basic posting is US$299.00. Adzuna also offers ATS and a free mobile app, which Remotive lacks.

Remotive vs. Gumtree Jobs:

For finding local talent, Gumtree Jobs is a better option, offering more affordable posting packages and access to millions of job seekers each month. However, you won't find global talent on Gumtree Jobs, and because the platform isn't a remote job board, those seeking remote work may not necessarily use it.

Remotive vs. SEEK:

SEEK is a job board with most of its traffic coming from New Zealand and Australia, while Remotive has a more global reach. SEEK offers many additional services that Remotive lacks, such as resume searches, applicant tracking, and personalized messages.
