How long does my job listing stay live for?

Job postings on We Work Remotely have a lifespan of 30 days.

At the end of the 30-day term, the job automatically renews to help make your hiring process more convenient - you can leave your job posting up for as long as you need to!

If you only want to leave it up for one month, don’t worry, you can easily turn the auto-renewal off anytime. We send an email reminder 5 days before so you don’t forget.


What is the Candidate Filtering Feature?

Filtering candidates is one of the biggest obstacles and frustrations for many remote companies. Screening through hundreds of remote applicants can feel overwhelming and it often delays the overall hiring process.

With the Candidate Filtering feature selected, you’ll receive manually prioritized batches of applicants 3, 14 and 30 days after posting your job, ensuring you see the right people first.

All applications from candidates will automatically be emailed to [email protected].

A real human (not a bot!) takes a look at your job description, sorts through all of the applicants, and prioritizes them based on the requirements you've indicated.

Candidates will be filtered on the basis of technical requirements, location, regional restrictions, experience level, etc. Please make sure these requirements are clear so we can filter them effectively! We do not remove any applicants from consideration, we simply prioritize which applicants you should look at first.

You will receive an email from [email protected]:


First batch - 3 days after posting your job

Second batch - 14 days after posting your job

Third batch - 30 days after posting your job


All batches will include a document that outlines the candidates’ contact information, the date the application was sent, and of course, the application itself (along with the candidate’s original email). Please keep in mind this feature is still in beta and we appreciate your patience while we improve it!


Do you have any tips for creating a successful job listing?

We’re so glad you asked!

One thing that many people forget is that a job posting is an advertisement, and they need to sell the company and the role. Job boards are busy watering holes these days. Companies have to step up their game if they want to score the attention of the best candidates.

Here’s How to Write a Remote Job Listing that Sells, and be sure to check our Job Posting Template for remote-specific tips as well.


What is the auto-renewal?

Many of our customers prefer to have their job listings posted for longer than 30 days. With auto-renewal turned on, listings will renew automatically every 30 days. But don’t worry! You can turn this off anytime through the receipt emailed after purchase or through your account dashboard. Don't have an account? Create one here


Can I integrate my ATS?

At this time, we have an integrations set up with Workable and Wrk.

Save time by posting your job through their platforms and choose for it to be distributed on WWR. And, don’t worry, we'll be adding more ATS partners soon!


How do I promote my role as 100% Remote?

When posting your job, select 'Yes' under 'Is this Role Fully Remote?'.


We Work Remotely

At WWR, "fully remote" means your future hire can work anywhere in the world without any location or timezone restrictions.

You'll see that the regional restrictions and time zone fields are grayed out - no other action is required in this section and you can move onto adding your job description details.

The job posting will include the 'Anywhere in the World' tag.


Our company operates as 100% remote but I can only hire in a specific region. How do I add location and time zone restrictions to my job posting?

When posting your job, first select 'No' under 'Is this Role Fully Remote?'.


We Work Remotely

Under Regional Restrictions, select the region or location that you're hiring in for this role.

You'll see that timezones will auto-populate per region. Feel free to deselect any that don't apply or click on the dropdown to select additional time zones.
