Review:
Remote OK is a leading remote job board that connects U.K. employers to more than 1 million global remote workers. Tech industry jobs are more prominently featured, but non-tech jobs are also advertised. It offers customized paid job posting packages and a host of useful add-ons including featured jobs and company branding.
Remote OK is owned by Pieter Levels, Dutch entrepreneur and levels.io founder. The site's wide reach and niche focus make it a good choice for U.K. employers to attract global candidates. While the cost of a job posting is dynamic and frequently changes, it is often more costly in comparison to local options such as Reed.co.uk and CW Jobs.
Pros:
- Remote OK connects U.K. employers with more than 1 million remote workers from across the globe.
- The platform offers a choice between single or bulk job listing plans.
- Employers can specify that only U.K.-based applicants may apply, or they can invite global job seekers.
- Candidate profile views by category are featured.
- Job posts are shared across the Google for Jobs recruitment network.
- Email alerts are distributed to a candidate pool of over 91K.
- Candidates are driven directly to U.K. employers' career pages or email addresses.
- The site includes an option to share job posts via Remote OK's Twitter account is available.
- Job posting plans feature add-on options, like promoted ads and branded employer pages.
Cons:
- No free or unlimited job listing plans are offered.
- Prices are only quoted in U.S. dollars.
- All higher-visibility options incur additional costs.
- Standard job posting plans exclude candidate matching.
- No ATS or job feed integration is offered.
- Resume database searches are not included.
Reputation:
Remote OK has a reputation for being a trusted source for recruiting global remote employees and has been used by some of the world's biggest brands, namely Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, and more.
We were unable to find specific online reviews from U.K.-based users. The job board attracted mostly positive reviews from global users on Product Hunt, where the site has a 4.1/5 rating.
Pricing:
Remote OK has a dynamic pricing model whereby the cost of job posts and add-on features changes depending on the number of job ads that are posted every week. The platform limits sticky posts (ads that are featured at the top of the front page for a specific duration) to a maximum of two at the same time per company.
Job postings are automatically renewed after 30 days and are charged at the same price as the original job post. Job posts that have been closed on the edit page are not automatically renewed. Users can also disable the auto-renew features or get a refund within seven days after renewing.
Remote OK vs. CW Jobs:
Remote OK's job board connects global employers with mainly tech job seekers, whereas CW Jobs is a leading job posting and resume search site dedicated to U.K. tech jobs. Remote OK's prices are dynamic and change frequently, while CW Jobs' job posting plan costs start at £199.00 +VAT.
Remote OK vs. Reed.co.uk:
Remote OK features a free global remote work job board with a strong IT focus, while Reed.co.uk syndicates general U.K. job posts from major job boards. Remote OK's pricing is dynamic, whereas Reed.co.uk's plans start at £89.00 +VAT for a six-week job post. Only Reed.co.uk offers candidate management tools.
Remote OK vs. Working Nomads:
Both Remote OK and Working Nomads connect U.K. employers with global digital workers. Remote OK prominently features remote tech jobs as opposed to Working Nomads, which includes other remote jobs. Remote OK can be more costly due to its dynamic pricing model but offers employers more advanced add-ons.
