Review
We Work Remotely (WWR) is the largest dedicated remote job board on the web, attracting over 4.5 million monthly visitors. Founded in 2012 (and famously acquired by Nomad List in 2025), WWR has become the go-to destination for remote job seekers across every category: development, marketing, design, customer support, and management.
The platform's strength is its scale. With hundreds of new listings per month, WWR covers virtually every remote role imaginable. The interface is clean and scannable — you can browse all jobs by category or search by keyword. For employers, listing a job costs $299, which acts as a quality filter (free boards attract more spam listings).
However, WWR has significant gaps. There is no intelligence layer — no scores, no quality ratings, and no ghost job detection. Listings stay up until the employer removes them, meaning stale or filled roles can linger. Salary information is not required, and most listings omit it entirely. The result: you spend time evaluating jobs that might be outdated, underpaid, or even fake.
This is where remoty.work fills the gap. remoty pulls listings from sources like WWR and adds an intelligence layer: every job is scored A–F across 14+ signals, ghost jobs are flagged, and salary transparency is called out. WWR gives you volume — remoty gives you signal.
