Most of the top names hire for other companies

The top six on this list all sell remote hiring to other companies, going by their own websites. Huzzle says it's free for candidates and that companies pay when they hire you. Pavago calls itself a remote talent marketplace. Hire Hangar, VirtuHire, ReWorks Solutions and Hire Overseas also offer remote staff to companies. Together these six post 824 of the 2,191 roles, or 38%.

So the company you'd end up working for may not be the name on the advert. Before you sign, ask who the client is, who pays you and how.

Who names the most countries

Most named roles point to just one country: 2,022 of the 2,191. The other 169 name more than one. A few employers go wide. African Leadership University (ALU) has 2 roles open across Sub-Saharan Africa, which covers 49 countries. Teach For All names 13 countries, Dentons 11, and GiveDirectly, OpenFn and Gramian Consulting Group 10 each.

The other 119 of our 458 employers don't name a country at all.

Applying is free, and nobody should pay for a job.
