Now that more people are realizing that a remote job is well within their reach, they want to put themselves in the best position to try and snag one. This is where Remote.co can help. Remote.co was traditionally (and by “traditionally” I mean since they launched in July 2015) a resource for companies who want to have the best remote teams, but they recently added a bunch of new features that job seekers will find invaluable. Remote.co was founded by Sara Sutton Fell, who is also the founder and CEO of FlexJobs, an online service for people seeing flexible jobs. She realized after starting FlexJobs that there was a gap that needed to be filled when it came to providing businesses with information and best practices about starting, developing, and managing successful remote workers and teams. Now Remote.co is coming full circle by helping job seekers as well. They already provide a very in depth Q&A section from those who run and work for remote teams, as well as a robust blog. Some of the new features include:
Community-ranked answers that allow readers to vote for their favorite answers to questions;New graphs and charts that illustrate, among other things, the most common tools for remote teams; andNew remote company filtering to find information from the companies that most appeal to you.
Remote.co currently boasts advice from leaders of over 70 successful remote companies and over 6,000 members who participate by giving feedback and answering questions.
