- Search for Job Positions
The main focus of Remote.io is the ability to search for remote job positions.
You can search for remote job positions in two ways: By keyword search and by browsing category.
Keyword Search
You can type in keywords you want to find in a job position.
Then hopefully, you will get a listing of job positions containing the keywords (or keywords) you typed in.
You then can select a job position from the job search list to get more details about from the Federal Trade Commission Job Scams – https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams

- Remote.io appears to emphasize technical positions, with the category “Remote Software Development jobs” having the most job positions from all the above categories.
What is in a job description
The descriptions of the job positions I saw will give details about what the job does, the requirements, and the skills also needed to complete the job effectively.
The jobs descriptions will have features like
- How to apply
The link will take you to the job position
When I tested out four job positions, 2 of the job positions were no longer available; 2 other job positions were available. - The place where the job position is occurring;
The United States appeared to have the majority of the job position listed - Job Description will list what Browing Categories the job position listed under
- Job Description lists when a job is posted on Remote.io.
Other features
Some other features listed.
- Remote Tools (link appears on the top right part of the website screen)
Remote Tools appeared to be a marketplace of other commercial services that may help fulfill the needs of the remote worker.
You may want to evaluate the services of that commercial service to see if that commercial service will fulfill your needs.
One suggestion is to do a Google search with the commercial service name and then add the word “Review” or “Reviews” to the Google search. - Magazine (link appears on the top right part of the website screen)
The magazine gives articles about the remote work field. I found a good layout of magazine articles: clear titles, pictures, and easily able to find articles. The most current article is from July 8, 2021. - Sweepstakes (link on the bottom left of the website)
You have information about sweepstakes conducted by Remote.io
I believe the sweepstakes is no longer running.
What I liked about Remote.io and did not like about Remote.io
Here is what I liked about Remote.io
- Clarify of Purpose
Remote.io makes very clear what the intention of their website happens to be; it is a website that lists remote job positions, and this is the major function of the website.
- Job positions may be less competitive
(This is my guess). Job positions may be less competitive than those on larger job board sites. Fewer people may visit Remote.io than larger job board sites.
What I did not like about Remote.io
- io has about less than 300 remote jobs on their website
You may not find the job position you are looking for on this website - Some features appear no longer functional. Some features of concern:
- Remote Magazine
Remote.io Magazine section has their last article from July 8, 2021 - Sweepstakes feature
Remote.io has a sweepstakes link that gives information about sweepstakes.
The sweepstake appeared to accept entries no longer. - Some job positions no longer work
I clicked the “Apply Now” link for about four positions listed. Two of the job positions were no longer available. Most job positions may work; these were just the positions I examined.
- Remote Magazine
In Conclusion
I think Remote.io is worth your time.
Remote.io clarifies what the Remote.io website is designed to do; Remote.io lists remote job positions.
You can quickly come to the website and find out if Remote.io has job positions you want. If you find a job of interest, your job search may be over. If you do not find a job position of interest, you can check Remote.io at a later time to see what opportunities may exist in the future.
Remote.io may be able to help you in your job search by looking at what opportunities may be available.
