Remotive

Review:

Remotive is a platform that makes it easy for employers to post their remote job opportunities and find quality staff members fast. The site is easy to navigate and offers a wide range of job posting upgrades from increased visibility.

Canadian employers can use Remotive to find both local and international candidates for remote jobs. More than 50 companies actively seek Canadian hires using this website. However, with only around 70 Canada-based jobs on the site, there are better job boards that employers can use when sourcing local talent.

Pros:

• Nonprofit organizations are eligible for discounts.
• There are special offers on bulk postings.
• Employers can source 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.
• Employers can create professional profile pages and job ads with company logos.
• The site features a user-friendly interface with great filtering options to help candidates find job postings fast.
• Remotive is a trusted site used by brands such as Pixel Union, The Well - Creative Consultants Inc., and Big Viking Games.

Cons:

• Pricing is not available in Canadian dollars.
• Remotive does not offer a free trial or job posting option.
• Listings must be renewed after 30 days and employers are charged the full price of the posting each time they renew.
• The site does not offer French or multilingual options, which may limit the size of the talent pool.
• The platform 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 platform.

Remotive vs. Remote OK:

Remotive and Remote OK are both niche job boards for remote work. While Remote OK's pricing is dynamic and frequently changes, Remotive charges a fixed fee of US$299.00 for a basic job post. Both platforms offer additional upgrades, but Remote OK features more tech jobs, while Remotive lists a wider variety of general vacancies.

Remotive vs. Recruit.net:

Unlike Remotive, Recruit.net is a general job board with over 500,000 job listings in and around Canada, which includes remote positions. Remotive's basic job post costs US$299.00, while Recruit.net does not readily disclose pricing on its website. Recruit.net does, however, have a dedicated Canadian job site, which Remotive lacks.

Remotive vs. FlexJobs:

Remotive charges for job listings every 30 days, while FlexJobs has one-month, three-month, and one-year subscription plans. For US$100.00 more than the cost of a basic ad with Remotive, FlexJobs offers unlimited postings and resume searches, as well as extras you'd have to pay for with Remotive.
