Tell the next applicant what is true
We read every remote listing from 14 boards and score what is written. What we cannot see is what happens after you click apply: the link that 404s, the "remote" role that wants three office days, the salary nobody published. You can. Every job page has a Help the next applicant box. One tap, no account needed.
Sign in and those reports earn points. Points are paid for reports that turn out to be true, not for taps. That rule is why the reports are worth reading, and why the points are worth something.
What earns points
| You tell us | Points | Confirmed when |
|---|---|---|
| The apply link is dead | 5 | The listing closes at its source, our link checker gets a 404, or another signed-in person reports the same. |
| It is not actually remote | 5 | The listing carries no remote signal, or another signed-in person reports the same. |
| This looks like a scam | 5 | Our scam check flags it, or another signed-in person reports the same. |
| I know what it pays | 10 | Another signed-in person reports pay within 25% of yours, in the same currency. |
| The link works, it is still open | 1 | Its source is still publishing it a few days later. Worth one point because it is the easy guess. |
| What happened when you applied (the form further down each job page) | 10 | Straight away. It is your own account of your own application, one per listing. |
A report nothing backs up within 21 days closes as unconfirmed. You lose nothing, it just pays nothing. One person can earn at most 40 points per day of reports. Reports made while signed out move to your account when you sign in, in the same browser.
What points unlock
| Perk | How | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Contributor badge | 10 points earned, kept for good | Your dashboard marks you as a contributor, and your reports count toward the tallies other job seekers see on each listing. |
| Twice-daily job alerts | 50 points earned, kept for good | Your confirmed job alerts also go out in the evening (19:10 UTC), not just the morning digest. |
| Early Access | Spend 100 points | 7 days of the paid tier: new listings on your dashboard 3 hours before free accounts see them. |
To be plain about Early Access: we are a scraper. A head start means you see a listing before other remoty.work users, not before the rest of the world.
What we do with what you tell us
- Each job page shows how many people reported each thing. Only signed-in reports are counted, and reports the evidence contradicted are dropped from the count.
- Confirmed reports feed the board's quality numbers: how often a board's links are dead, how often "remote" is not.
- We never publish who reported what, and we store no IP address with a report.
