The short answer

CareerDubai : CareerDubai is a Dubai professional and executive board with recruiter screening, on a subscription plus a success fee rather than a one-off post. From $475/mo
Remote Army : Remote Army lists fully remote roles at remote-first companies worldwide, from $249 a listing, without a UAE focus. From $249/listing
Remote OK : Remote OK is a global remote board from $299 a post with crossposting to other boards, better for reaching remote talent outside the Gulf. From $299/post

Why people look past RemoteDXB

There is only one standard listing tier, priced in dirhams, and the audience is UAE residents only, so it does not help with hiring elsewhere.

What we noted

Single standard listing tier only
Priced in dirhams
UAE audience only

Not the right fit for

Employers hiring outside the UAE
Teams that need a resume database
High-volume hirers who want a subscription

Worth keeping in mind: Every listing is filtered to roles that actually hire people living in the UAE, and a single AED 349 post also goes out on its Telegram channel and Monday email.

What each one does differently

CareerDubai

$475/mo

Why it comes up: CareerDubai is a Dubai professional and executive board with recruiter screening, on a subscription plus a success fee rather than a one-off post.

Stands out: Both plans carry a 12-month free replacement guarantee, and candidates are pre-qualified on UAE visa status, notice period and package before interview. The Inbound plan includes a premium LinkedIn Job Slot that CareerDubai pays for.

Watch out: Every hire carries a success fee of 10% or 20% on top of the monthly charge, so total cost is higher than a flat job ad. The Inbound plan allows only one live role at a time and is billed annually.

Best for

Employers hiring professionals based in Dubai
Confidential CXO and senior mandates in the UAE
Teams that want screened shortlists, not every applicant

Remote Army

$249/listing

Why it comes up: Remote Army lists fully remote roles at remote-first companies worldwide, from $249 a listing, without a UAE focus.

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

Remote OK

$299/post API

Why it comes up: Remote OK is a global remote board from $299 a post with crossposting to other boards, better for reaching remote talent outside the Gulf.

Stands out: Each post is crossposted to 257 job boards that use the Remote OK API and listed on Google for Jobs. Remote OK guarantees 200+ apply clicks or bumps the post again for free. Worldwide posts rank above location-restricted ones, which rewards employers who can hire anywhere.

Watch out: Posts auto-renew at full price after 30 days unless you turn it off, and posts are not refundable. Prices are dynamic, so the final cost with add-ons can land well above $299; the checkout showed $447 with default options. There is no applicant tracking, so applicants go to your own apply URL or email.

Best for

Remote-first companies hiring worldwide
Startups hiring remote developers
Employers posting several remote roles a year
