Quality over quantity
We’d rather list 100 great roles than 10,000 noisy ones. Every job is reviewed by a human, every employer is verified, and listings that don’t meet the bar don’t go live.

Our story
Built by engineers who got tired of the noise.
Independent · Remote-first · 40+ countriesJobboard started in 2024 with a simple frustration: every modern job board had become a slot machine of spammy listings, recruiter middlemen, and ghosting. Hiring teams were drowning in irrelevant applications. Candidates were sending CVs into a void. Both sides were losing — and the platforms were profiting from the chaos.
We spent the first year talking to hundreds of engineers, designers, and hiring managers across remote-first companies. The pattern was clear: people don’t need more listings — they need fewer, better ones. They don’t want a black box — they want to know exactly where their application stands. They don’t want recruiters in the middle — they want a direct line to the team.
So we built the opposite of what the industry shipped. Every listing is reviewed by a human before going live. Every applicant sees the same predictable pipeline — Applied → Test → Interview → Offer — with real-time status updates. Every hiring team gets a focused inbox of candidates who actually read the job description.
Today Jobboard is used by thousands of remote-first teams across 40+ countries. We’re still independent, still small, and still building the product we’d want to use ourselves.
Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Akbar Abdullayev
Founder & sole curator · Based in Baku, Azerbaijan
I built JobRemotely because I was tired of LinkedIn noise — recruiter spam, ghost jobs, scam listings. Every job here is reviewed by me personally before it appears.
I spend roughly two hours every weekday curating. You are paying for that time — not for a database scrape.
My promise
If you do not find the platform useful in 30 days, email me — I refund you personally. No forms, no questions.
Why we exist
Three commitments we won’t break.
Transparency over guesswork
Candidates always see where their application stands. Hiring teams always see who they’re really talking to. No black boxes, no algorithmic shadows, no “we’ll be in touch.”
Respect for everyone’s time
No spammy emails. No recruiter middlemen forwarding the same CV across ten roles. No “urgent” fake-deadline pressure. Just a calm, focused workflow from apply to offer.
Principles
How we make decisions.
We don’t have a slide-deck mission statement. We have six rules that shape every decision — from a one-line copy edit to a year-long bet.
Build for the long term
We optimize for the next decade, not the next quarter. Trust takes years to build and minutes to lose.
Default to clarity
Plain language beats jargon. A clear no beats a vague maybe. A short product beats a sprawling one.
Treat candidates like customers
Most platforms forget who actually generates the value. We don’t. Candidates fund our integrity bar.
Charge fairly, charge once
Flat pricing. No per-applicant fees. No surprise upsells. Hiring teams know exactly what they pay.
Stay independent
No outside boardroom decides what’s best for our users. We answer to candidates and customers — in that order.
Ship calmly
No drama, no manufactured urgency. Good software comes from focused work, not from heroics.
