Why people look past Remote1stJobs

Prices are in euros only. Most of the board is gathered from company career pages, so a paid post competes with thousands of free listings, and new jobs are held back from free visitors for three days unless they pay for Pro. There are no outside reviews to weigh yet.

What we noted

  • Euro pricing only
  • Paid posts sit among thousands of gathered listings
  • No outside reviews yet

Not the right fit for

  • On-site or hybrid roles
  • Employers who need USD invoicing
  • Hiring limited to Asia-Pacific or Latin America

Worth keeping in mind: Eligibility is the point: each listing says which regions the employer can hire from, hybrid roles are filtered out, and scam signals such as upfront fees or mismatched apply links are flagged. Listing grades reward posted salaries and direct employer links and cannot be bought.

What each one does differently

Remote Army

$249/listing

Why it comes up: Curated remote-first board with a free first listing too, priced in USD at $249 for 30 days.

Stands out: Every role is fully remote, and listings show the region a role is open to and a salary range. Employers can try it with a free first listing before paying.

Watch out: Many listings carry estimated salary ranges rather than ones the employer posted, so check the Salary posted mark. It is smaller than the long-running remote boards, and there are no outside reviews to weigh.

Best for

  • Remote-first companies hiring worldwide
  • Tech, data and AI, sales and product roles
  • Employers who want to test a remote board with a free first listing

Why it comes up: One of the largest and longest-running remote boards, with a bigger audience and a higher listing price.

Stands out: A remote-only audience, with no subscription to manage.

Watch out: Priced per post rather than monthly, and there is no resume database.

Best for

  • Remote-first companies
  • Teams buying a single remote job post
  • Employers who want a remote-only audience

Himalayas

Quote Free tier API

Why it comes up: Free remote job posting for employers plus a searchable talent directory, with a paid pinned upgrade.

Stands out: Posting, company profiles and unlimited candidate messaging are all free, which is uncommon for a board of this size. Employers can search a directory of 200,000+ job seekers rather than waiting for applicants. An MCP server lets you post jobs and run candidate searches from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor.

Watch out: Every job is reviewed before it goes live, and listings expire after 30 days. It only covers remote roles, so it will not help with onsite or hybrid hiring. No ATS integrations are named in the employer docs, so applicants may need manual handling.

Best for

  • Remote-first startups on a tight budget
  • Teams hiring remote engineers worldwide
  • Employers who want to source, not just post
