About

A remote job index you can actually trust.

RemoteCurrent reads job listings straight from employers’ own hiring systems, every hour, and shows you exactly where each one came from. The story of why it exists is a separate read.

What it is

Most job sites are aggregators. They copy listings from other aggregators, keep stale posts alive to look busy, and route your application through their own funnel. RemoteCurrent does none of that. It polls the public feeds that employers’ career pages already use — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and others — normalizes what it finds, classifies how remote each role really is, and links you to the employer’s own application page. Nothing in between.

Every listing shows its source, the employer’s posted date, and that it was still live in the most recent sweep. The feed status page shows how every source is doing in real time.

The pledge

• No account required to search. Ever.
• No paywalled listings, no paywalled application links.
• Every job links to the employer’s real application page.
• Employers cannot pay for ranking or placement.
• No resumes stored, no profiles, no auto-apply.
• Remote-location restrictions are stated with a confidence score and evidence.
• Corrections are public and versioned in the open-source repository.

Who runs it

RemoteCurrent is built and maintained by Orpheus Rook (rook.works) as an independent project. It has no company behind it, no investors, and no advertising. The code, the source registry, and every classification rule are open at github.com/JJHerrmann/remote-current — audit any of it.

What it costs

Today, almost nothing. The crawler runs on GitHub Actions’ free tier and the site is served from GitHub Pages; the only real expense is the domain name. That is why there is no funding thermometer here yet — there is barely anything to fund.

If RemoteCurrent grows enough to outgrow the free tiers — a real database, a search API, email digests — that move to paid infrastructure will be shown here in full: what it is, what it costs per month, and how close reader support comes to covering it. Paid services get switched on only when donations can carry them, never on credit and never by adding ads.

Support it

If RemoteCurrent has saved you time, you can chip in on Ko-fi. A few dollars once is welcome; a few dollars a month is what keeps a new source online and the lights on as it grows. It stays free for everyone either way.

Read directly from the source. Linked straight to the employer. Free, and staying that way.
