RemoteOK, measured

We ingest RemoteOK continuously and score every listing. Over the last 30 days that is 55 live listings from 51 companies. Here is what those listings actually contain — not what the board says about itself.

Last measured 19 October 2026

Will you find out what the job pays?

30.9% of listings carry pay information somewhere
3.6% put it in a field a machine can read

That ranks RemoteOK 10 of 13 boards we read. The best is Seed Ats at 91.6%; the weakest is JustRemote at 12.5%. The median across every board is 46.7%.

The gap matters here. RemoteOK has pay information in 30.9% of listings but exposes it in a readable field only 3.6% of the time — a 27.3-point difference. The salary is usually there; it is buried in prose, so no filter can reach it and you cannot compare two roles without opening both.

Will the listing tell you what the job is?

Yes, reliably. Effectively every live RemoteOK listing arrives with a real description, so you can judge the role before spending time on an application.

How the listings score

38.2% graded A or B by our scorer
1.8% flagged as a possible ghost job
1.8% genuinely location-free

Our A–F grade reads pay transparency, description depth, freshness, remote clarity, role specificity and corroboration, minus a ghost-job penalty. Every graded listing on this site publishes its own breakdown, so you can see why any individual posting scored what it did.

Method, and a disclosure

Every figure is computed from the listings themselves over a rolling 30-day window, not from board marketing. A board needs at least 40 live listings before we publish a number about it. A listing counts as having no usable description when its body is empty or boilerplate once HTML is stripped.

We run a remote job board too, built partly from these same sources. We are not a neutral party, which is exactly why the method sits next to every number instead of a verdict — you can check any of this against RemoteOK yourself.
