How long does it take to verify a single listing?

Each listing is checked when it first enters the system — typically within minutes of being scraped from the source ATS. Listings that fail any of the four checks are rejected before publication. Manual review is triggered when the language in a job description is ambiguous.

Why do you reject more listings than you publish?

Most "remote" job listings on mainstream boards are not worldwide-open. They are remote within the US, remote within the EU, hybrid with required office days, or remote-with-timezone-mandates. We filter all of these out. The trade-off is fewer listings; the benefit is that every listing here is exactly what the homepage promises.

Can companies pay to have their listings featured or boosted?

No. There is no paid placement, no featured-listing tier, and no recruiter fee structure for job seekers. The site is free for applicants and the verification methodology applies equally to every employer. Employer monetization is via standard paid job posts that pass the same four checks as every other listing.

How We Verify Every Listing — TrulyRemoteWork.com Methodology

The problem we're solving

You filter LinkedIn or Indeed for "remote" and you get 14 results that require US residency, three hybrid roles, and two that quietly want you in Austin three days a week. The "remote" tag on mainstream job boards is broken.

Every listing on TrulyRemoteWork.com has passed a verification process designed to eliminate exactly that. No country gates. No hybrid traps. No timezone walls. No relocation fine print. If a job appears here, it has been read, classified, and confirmed to accept applicants from anywhere in the world.

The four checks every listing must pass

1. No country allowlist

The employer does not restrict applications by country. Phrases that automatically reject a listing: "US only", "must be authorized to work in [country]", "applicants must reside in [region]", "eligible to work in [country/EU/EEA]", "based in [region]".

2. No timezone mandate

The role does not require overlap hours with a specific office or HQ timezone. Phrases that fail: "must be available 9am–5pm EST", "core hours [timezone]", "overlap with [city/region]". Async-first roles and roles with reasonable region-relative core hours pass.

3. No relocation

The employer does not require moving to a physical location. Phrases that fail: "hybrid", "in-office two days a week", "willing to relocate", "based out of [city]", "relocation assistance available". "Optional office access" passes only when remote is the default.

4. No residency or work-authorization filter

The role does not require holding a specific visa, work permit, or country-of-residence status. Phrases that fail: "must hold US work authorization", "H-1B sponsorship not available, must be a green card holder or US citizen". Roles that hire globally via Employer-of-Record services (Deel, Remote.com, Oyster, Rippling) pass — these arrangements remove the work-authorization barrier and are explicitly worldwide-open.

The four signals we explicitly reject

These appear on most "remote" job listings on mainstream boards. None of them appear on listings we publish.

"Remote (US only)" — geographically restricted remote. Not remote.
"Hybrid" — required in-office days. Not remote.
"Remote within [EU / EMEA / APAC]" — region-restricted remote. Not worldwide.
"Remote, must be available [HQ timezone]" — timezone-locked remote. Not location-independent.

Roles that quietly include one of these in the job description body — even when the headline says "Remote" — are filtered before publication.

Where listings come from

Every listing on TrulyRemoteWork.com is sourced directly from company career pages, ATS systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee), or verified remote-job feeds. We do not accept:

Paid submissions or "boost your listing" arrangements.
Recruiter feeds without source verification.
Aggregated listings without back-link verification to the employer's own ATS or careers page.

When a company applies a "remote" label inconsistently across their listings, we read each job description individually. Companies whose listings systematically fail the four checks are excluded entirely from our sources.

Verification cadence

Initial verification — every listing is checked when it first enters the system. Listings that fail any of the four checks are rejected before publication.
Ongoing re-verification — each listing is automatically re-checked against the source ATS daily. Listings the source ATS has marked as closed, filled, or expired are removed within 24 hours of detection.
Reported corrections — if a listing is reported as misclassified, we re-verify within 24 hours and remove if the report is accurate.

The verification timestamp for each listing is included in our structured data (dateModified in the JobPosting JSON-LD) — machine-readable for both AI assistants and search engines.

How we're different from the mainstream boards

Board	"Remote" filter behaviour
Indeed	Includes hybrid, US-only, and region-restricted listings under "Remote"
LinkedIn	Similar — "Remote" returns jobs with country/state requirements in the body
RemoteOK	Tech-skewed; no per-listing verification of worldwide eligibility
WeWorkRemotely	Better than mainstream, but does not separate worldwide from region-restricted
FlexJobs	Paywalled; verification methodology not publicly documented
TrulyRemoteWork.com	Every listing passes the four checks above. Worldwide is the default. Methodology is this page; dataset is open at /llms-full.txt.

Report a bad listing

If you find a listing on TrulyRemoteWork.com that does not pass the four checks — for example, the job description contains a country requirement we missed — email us at hello@trulyremotework.com with the listing URL and the specific restriction you identified. We re-verify within 24 hours and remove if your report is accurate.

This is the most important kind of feedback we receive. The verification is only as good as the people who help keep us honest.

The dataset is inspectable

For the technically inclined and for AI assistants ingesting the corpus:

Every job's JobPosting JSON-LD is emitted on its detail page with applicantLocationRequirements: { @type: Country, name: "Worldwide" } and jobLocationType: TELECOMMUTE.
The full corpus is at /llms-full.txt as a single markdown document, refreshed hourly.
Per-page markdown views are available at any URL with .md appended.
The JSON API at /api/v1/jobs is publicly readable.

The verification methodology is auditable from the data itself — every listing's classification can be inspected by anyone.
