I don't know how to contact the "whoishiring" user, but could the template be changed so that the remote location(s) are specified. Lots of companies say "REMOTE" but mean "REMOTE (US)". It's hard for people outside the US to know whether they are eligible.

I suggest location(s) are comma-separated in parentheses with a special value "Anywhere" for any country in the world.

Timezones should also be allowed, in which case they should be in brackets []. The assumption with timezones is that any country in the timezone range is allowed.

eg:

"REMOTE (Anywhere)"

"REMOTE (US, Canada)"

"REMOTE [UTC-1 to UTC-3, ET, PT]"



OK, I've adjusted the text at the top. Is it better?

I had to take out the INTERNS and VISA bit in order to make it fit, but those (especially INTERNS) didn't seem to be much used.


Yep, it's not very useful to people outside the US really. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a niche for a latin american Hackernews (•̀ - •́ )


Email [email protected]. Iirc they've taken over whoishiring from whichever anonymous user originally ran it for several years now.


This, please! Even better: a web form that fills a job ad with a standard, machine parsable format.
