Finding a remote job can be difficult and feel very overwhelming, especially when everyone is searching the SAME job boards and openings disappear within days or less!
Sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, Flexjobs, and Glassdoor are popular and high-quality — and I maintain they should be go-to sites for anyone looking for remote work. That said, they’re also extremely crowded, and this makes it so much harder to stand out when you apply due to all the other applicants.
Another side note you may not be aware of — many companies post hidden remote job opportunities on niche sites that are tailored to specific industries! This makes it even more important for you to know about other good boards to search, just to ensure you don’t miss anything that might be specifically what you are looking for.
So today, I’m sharing some lesser-known but high-quality boards that give you a serious advantage in your search for a work at home job.
I hope some of these are new to you and that you decide to add them to your list of sites you check daily!
Remote Impact
Remote Impact is a site with a focus on work at home jobs that will make a social impact, if that is something that is important to you.
Many of the jobs posted are with companies committed to fighting climate change, transforming healthcare, eradicating poverty, and more.
They also list jobs that are both inside and outside the US.

NextCommit
NextCommit is a job aggregator specifically for work from home jobs in the tech industry.
If you do a search, you’ll find a lot of positions open in software engineering, machine learning, and DevOps.
While it does appear most of the jobs are US based, you will find some things open to people in other countries worldwide.

Welcome to the Jungle
On this job board, you will also find various tech roles posted. You can also create an account with them and get personalized job recommendations based on whatever preferences you set.
Many of the positions are with tech start-ups.

The Mom Project
Despite the name, The Mom Project has a focus on supporting working parents in general, not just moms.
It’s an online marketplace that makes it possible for you to bid on various remote work opportunities.
Unlike some of the other sites I’ve listed today, The Mom Project does cater specifically to US residents.

ilovecreatives
ilovecreatives is a site set up for creative professionals to find job opportunities in design, marketing, social media, and more. And most of them are remote!
This site has some other cool features in addition to the jobs they post. You can also get training in creative fields like digital marketing, graphic design, video creation, and much more.

MediaBistro
MediaBistro is another lesser-known job board for creatives. If you browse, you’ll regularly see jobs posted in media and content creation. And yes, many of them are remote!
They additionally have a feature for their newsletter where you can set up job alerts. It’s very easy to set it up so specific types of jobs are sent straight to you once they are posted!

This company has a focus on tech and startup companies, as well as remote work.
Their jobs page has detailed information on companies that are known for hiring remotely along with descriptions, number of employees currently working there, and more.

This is another tech-specific job board with great filtering options if you’re looking specifically for remote work.
You can filter for fully remote, partially remote, or remote within commuting distance.
Most of the jobs on this board are open worldwide, or open to countries outside the US.

Authentic Jobs
Authentic Jobs is best known for job posts that are in the creative and tech industries. It’s been around for many years now, and I have linked to it on this site before.
Most of the time, you’ll find remote roles for web developers, graphic designers, and digital marketers.

Career Vault
Career Vault focuses on posting remote jobs in design, marketing, writing, customer support, and software development.
They post jobs daily, and many of them are open to candidates worldwide — not just the United States.

Listiller
Listiller shares daily writing jobs and gigs, compiled from other job boards. Updates are done daily, and there are usually tons of listings posted at any time.
If you create an account, you can see the writing jobs for free. But you can pay for membership if you want to do things like get the jobs sent to your email, bookmark the jobs you find and want to go back to later, promote yourself, and so forth.
The paid account is not required, but you may want to consider if you find you really like Listiller (and I’ve heard that many people do).
Go here to browse Listiller.
ProBlogger
The job board on ProBlogger is updated almost daily with new jobs posted for writers and bloggers. It’s also really easy to sort so you can see what is full-time, part-time, freelance, and so forth.
I do see listings here for people worldwide, so that is another plus.
ProBlogger is one of the oldest blogs in existence about blogging that I’m aware of (it started in 2004) and still to this day it is a wonderful resource for writing job seekers.
Go here to check out ProBlogger.
And that wraps up our list today! I hope you find a new site for remote jobs you never knew about, and that this year is your year to find a remote position.
Don’t forget I also post remote job leads several times a week right here (and I have been doing so for almost 15 years). These are all hand-selected and carefully vetted by me.
Good luck!
