About OnlyRemoteJobs

What is OnlyRemoteJobs?

It is a job board that indexes only remote work. Listings are collected from public job sources, normalised into a single schema, and published as canonical landing pages by role, country, experience level, and contract type.

The problem it solves is filtering. Generalist boards treat remote as a tag on a mostly-local corpus, so a search returns hybrid roles that require office days. Here the entire corpus is remote, and the filters people actually need — region, seniority, contract type, salary — do the work instead.

The site runs at reativa.dev. OnlyRemoteJobs is the product name used across the interface.

Where do the job listings come from?

From public job sources. Listings are aggregated and classified rather than written by us, and each one links back to the original posting, which is where you apply. We do not crawl employer career pages ourselves today.

Classification is what is added on top: a listing arrives as free text and is normalised into role, seniority, country, contract type, and salary fields so it can be filtered reliably. That normalisation is also what makes the taxonomy pages possible.

The employer's own posting is always authoritative. If a listing here disagrees with the company's career page, the career page is correct — and a listing can be stale if the role closed after it was collected.

How does OnlyRemoteJobs make money?

Through an optional subscription for job seekers who want the full feed and its filters. Applying is always free, and there is no charge to a candidate at any point in a hiring process.

Anyone can browse and read job listings without an account. The subscription unlocks the complete feed and the filtering that makes a large corpus usable, and it is what funds the aggregation and classification work.

We do not charge candidates for applications, introductions, or placement. Any site that does is operating a different and far less trustworthy model.

Free versus subscribed

• Free: browse listings, read job details, use the canonical landing pages, apply at the employer.
• Subscribed: the full feed, salary filtering, and per-user read-only API tokens.

Is OnlyRemoteJobs legit?

Yes. Every listing links to the employer's own posting, the site never asks a job seeker for payment to apply, and it never requests bank details or identity documents on an employer's behalf.

The honest caveat is that an aggregator inherits the quality of its sources. A listing can be stale, or an individual employer can behave badly, and no board can fully prevent that. What we can do is always link to the original posting so you can verify it at the source before engaging.

Standard job-search safety still applies, and it applies to every board including this one: no legitimate employer asks you to pay for equipment or training, sends a cheque before a signed contract, or requests bank credentials during interviews.

What we will never do

• Ask you to pay to apply for a job.
• Ask for bank details, card numbers, or identity documents on an employer's behalf.
• Sell your profile data to recruiters.
• Publish a listing without a link back to the employer's original posting.

Can AI agents use OnlyRemoteJobs?

Yes, deliberately. Every page is server-rendered HTML with structured data attached, and the same job corpus is exposed through a documented read-only HTTP API and a Model Context Protocol server for agent clients.

Pages carry Schema.org JSON-LD — JobPosting on job details, CollectionPage and BreadcrumbList on landing pages — and stable data attributes for automation. Nothing about the job content requires JavaScript to read.

For programmatic access, paid subscribers can issue read-only API tokens scoped to `jobs.read` and manage them from their account. The MCP server exposes the same scoped HTTP APIs to agent clients rather than any direct database access.

Machine-readable surfaces

• llms.txt describing the site's URL patterns, structured data, and crawl guidance.
• XML sitemaps for job details and for count-positive landing pages.
• A documented read-only jobs API with per-user tokens.
• An MCP server for agent clients.

How do you contact OnlyRemoteJobs?

By email, using the support address published on the terms and privacy pages. Use the same address for listing corrections, takedown requests, billing questions, and press enquiries.

For a wrong or expired listing, include the job URL and what is incorrect. Corrections are handled at the source classification, so the fix applies to every page that listing appears on.

Frequently asked questions

Is OnlyRemoteJobs free to use?

Browsing listings, reading job details, and applying at the employer are free and do not require an account. An optional paid subscription unlocks the full feed, salary filtering, and read-only API tokens.

Who writes the job listings?

Employers do, on their own sites. Listings are aggregated from public job sources, then normalised into consistent role, seniority, country, and contract fields. Each listing links back to the employer's original posting, which remains authoritative.

Are all the jobs really remote?

Yes. Every landing feed locks the corpus to remote listings before any other filter is applied. Many roles are still region-locked for employment-law reasons, so a remote job may require residence in a particular country — that constraint is shown on the listing.

How often are listings updated?

Continuously. New listings enter the feed as they are published and classified, and the sitemaps and landing directories are regenerated from live counts, so a landing page with no current matches is excluded rather than published empty.
