How we check every job

RemoteHunt is a small, independent team. We are not a recruiting agency, and no employer pays us to show a job or to rank it higher. This page says what happens to a job before it reaches you, with real numbers.

Numbers with a date were measured on our live database on 25 September 2026. The numbers in the boxes below update every hour.

Where our jobs come from

We collect remote jobs from two kinds of places. The first is the employer's own career page: the hiring system a company uses to post its jobs, such as Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby. We follow 2,263 of these pages. The second is remote job boards: websites that list jobs from many companies.

On 25 September 2026, our search held 50,474 remote jobs posted in the last 30 days. 19,410 of them (38%) came straight from the career pages of 2,014 employers. 30,832 (61%) came from 11 remote job boards. The other 232 came from places like the Hacker News “Who is hiring?” thread.

A job marked Direct in your list came from the employer's own career page, and its apply link takes you there. A job from a job board is not worse, but its link takes you to that board first.

Our public job pages, like remote jobs by role and the country pages, list jobs from employers' career pages and the Hacker News hiring thread, not from other job boards.

How often we check again

Our collection runs every 2 hours and visits the career pages and job boards we follow. In the 24 hours to 25 September 2026, it ran in 13 different hours.

We don't remove a job the first time we miss it, because sources sometimes skip a job for a day. If we have not seen a job on its source for 14 days, we treat it as closed and remove it. In the 7 days to 25 September 2026, 8,104 jobs left our search this way.

Jobs posted more than 30 days ago also leave your main list, even if the page is still up. Many companies leave old jobs online long after they stop hiring.

One job, shown once

The same job is often posted in several places. We match copies by the company, the job title and the job's text, and show each job once. When we have the job from the employer's own page, we hide the job board's copy of it.

When a company posts the same job for several countries, we keep one version for each country, so the version that can hire you is not lost.

On 25 September 2026, 16,386 jobs that were still online on their own sites were hidden as copies of a job we already show. 7,076 of them were job-board copies.

Posts that are not real openings

Some posts are not jobs. A “talent pool”, a “general application” or an “expression of interest” collects resumes without an open role behind it. We hide these by their title. On 25 September 2026, 538 such posts were hidden.

We also look for common signs of a job scam: a fee for training, a promise of guaranteed income, network or pyramid selling, and company names already known for scams. A post with two of these signs is hidden. One sign alone does not hide a job, because real companies sometimes use the same words.

Where a job can hire you

Many “remote” jobs can only hire people in some countries. We read where each job can hire from the job's own text and from the location its source gives. When a job names countries or regions, and your country is not among them, we don't show it to you.

When a job doesn't say where it can hire, we keep it in your list. We never guess a restriction the job did not state.

Right now, of the 52,862 jobs on our public pages, 26,076 say where they can hire: 1,222 say anywhere, and 12,169 say only the United States or Canada. The other 26,786 don't say, or say it in a way we can't read, and they stay open to everyone.

How the 0–100 score is made

Every job in your list gets a score from 0 to 100 for your resume. It is made in three steps.

  1. Simple rules first. We remove jobs that can't hire in your country, are far from your level, need a language you didn't list, or are a different kind of work from the roles you picked. No AI is used in this step.
  2. A quick first reading. An AI model hides clear mismatches before the full reading.
  3. A full reading. An AI model reads the job and your resume side by side, the way a recruiter would, and gives the score. For every job that scores 40 or more, it writes down why: what fits and what is missing.

We call a job with a score of 60 or more a match. A score is our estimate, not a promise: a high score does not mean you will get the job, and a low one does not mean you shouldn't apply.

You never pay to apply

You apply on the company's own page, or on the job board the job came from. We never charge a fee to apply, and a real employer won't either. If anyone asks you for money to apply, for training or for equipment, stop: that is how job scams work.

Free: your scan, a score on every job in your list, and the company and apply link on your best matches. We look for new matches for you once a week.

The 90-day pass is one payment, and nothing renews. It shows the company and its apply link on every job in your list, and we look for new matches every day for 90 days. You have 14 days to withdraw and get your money back.

The pass does not apply for you, does not change your scores, does not add jobs that can't hire you, and does not promise interviews. Employers can't see who has a pass.

What we don't check

We check the things on this page. We don't check that every company is real, and a job can close before we notice. Before you send personal documents or bank details to anyone, find the job on the company's own website. Read our disclaimer for the full list.
