Remote Woman - Work remotely at trusted companies

Based on what data these companies are described as female friendly? Even so, when you centralize something based on gender, all genders lost in that assumption. Why not, human-friendly jobs?

Pros:

Nice list of jobs.

Cons:

Built on a sexist ideology.

I lost faith in remote jobs as a possibility. I came across a great seeming job on a very popular remote site...only to find out it was a scam. Promised high pay & solid work, I did interviews for hours on end. Ultimately, I was able to spot the scam once they asked for too many personal details & offered a job that was too good to be true. Luckily, I didn’t fall for it…but who knows how many people have since? This is why I started RemoteWoman - by leveraging curation & a strong community, we're going to bring back trust. Instead of "pay to list" sites, our community hand-curates companies that we believe in & flags any bad actors. By doing this, we’ll never provide a flood of sketchy jobs to you. We hope to be a small part of a larger movement where companies make their workplaces & hiring process inviting for all sexes, genders, orientations and races. Note on gender: we built this for women & men - it's free for all to find & apply for jobs. However, we did choose to focus on improving the gender balance that unfortunately exists. We decided to focus heavier than our competitors on marketing, design & support jobs. We decided to build a strong community that 's female-leaning for curation, flagging issues & support. This was my focus because us women working remotely need more community & trust.

Great curated list of remote jobs. Cool name. Shocked, but not at all surprised by the responses of men in these reviews. These responses are exactly why remotewoman needs to exist.

Pros:

That someone is taking the time to vet jobs at companies that are not only remote but safe for women.

Cons:

None, I can't believe men are calling this sexist. Really?

How exactly do you shortlist the women-friendly places to work?

To quote the creator : We hope to be a small part of a larger movement where companies make their workplaces & hiring process inviting for all *sexes, genders, orientations and races* And yet its a remote work site only for women

Pros:

Personally, hand curated list of jobs

Cons:

Make it accessible to all genders. Diversity also includes men you know.

I am not currently looking for a new job, but I will absolutely use this rescource when I'm ready for a new position.

Pros:

This is a great list of curated jobs. I will be sharing for those looking for remote work with my network.

Cons:

I wish there was a Product Management section.

The men complaining in the comments seem to be basing their assumptions on the name of the product and not the product itself. Reading the description, maker's comment and product copy, I don't get how this is "positive discrimination".

Pros:

1. Job board built on a community to vet the companies/jobs 2. focus on dev & non technical jobs equally.

Cons:

It would be helpful to have a precise description of the process to vet the companies and make that more visible in the product.

This is my way to downvote this.

Pros:

Don't even looked at the product

Cons:

Why women specific ? This is positive discrimination ... Stop doing this :) This is not helpful for women.

Congrats on the lunch @jairaromero ! You've done great work. Awesome idea. Good luck to you!

This is a great idea! Individuals that work remote are always looking for a community. I think having an online forum for those that are working remote to share tips and ideas would be great.

When I started to search for remote work I turned to RemoteWoman.com. Having a list of curated position helps in navigating the sometimes overwhelming world of job searching. Jaira (Founder) is deeply dedicated to ameliorating the gender disparities within the workforce. The fact that people are threatened by the mere word "woman" even though it is clearly stated anyone can use the platform is proof there is an unequivocal chasm when it comes to fundamental beliefs. "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

Remote Woman is a fantastic community, full of resources and support. I also love the site and the variety in job opportunities. I've made some great connections through this platform and enjoy being surrounded by such smart, empathic, and encouraging women.

I'm happy to see more sites in this space.

Pros:

A great list of remote jobs

Cons:

Could also support trans/NB folks, as well, instead of being so binary.

Great resource for remote work!

Awesome website, curated jobs, community is amazing and much much more than only a job website...it's a whole support web for woman trying to find remote jobs. Thanks Jaira, your work is freaking amazing! And the comments Pros: support, community, curated jobs, whole hearted Cons: the site needs to be much bigger to help more people!

The community of women has been amazing. Everyone is very eager to help each other with either resumes or job postings or basic guidence.

I resonate with the founders story as I was also scammed when looking for remote work. Stats show that most tech companies are run my men - it’s been difficult as a latinx woman to get my foot in the door. I appreciate this community and their attempts in connecting women to top remote companies. The founder is putting in a lot of time and energy in helping connect me to remote employers. I am forever thankful of the effort being put into this community. Men, stop being babies. Take a look at the numbers - only 20% of women are employed by tech companies( the companies that offer remote work the most) A woman makes .80 cents to every dollar. Give us a break! We deserve to even out those numbers.

I'll send this to all my female friends. Cool second name btw almost as cool as my first name :)

Great list of curated jobs and companies, as well as a really helpful, personal approach!

Phenomenal list of jobs, welcoming community. Awesome customer service!
