How to Find Remote Job Resources

How to find 𝗨𝗦𝗔 & 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻, even if you live outside those countries. I get this question a lot, so let me simplify it in 7 simple steps: Step 1: Use LinkedIn’s job filters (correctly) Go to the Jobs tab and use these filters: → Location: type “Remote” → Country: select United States and Canada → Job Type: Full-time → Work Type: Remote This ensures you’re only seeing roles that are remote and based in North America. Step 2: Use the right keywords In the search bar, try: → “Remote Data Analyst USA” → “Remote Data Scientist Canada” → “Fully remote data engineer” Mix in keywords like: • “Global team” • “Worldwide” • “Remote-first company”    These companies are more likely to accept international applicants. Step 3: Focus on companies that hire globally Target companies known for hiring remote international talent: → Automattic → GitLab → Toptal → Zapier → Deel → Doist → Oyster → Remote.com Search “[Company Name] careers” and look at their hiring policies.  Step 4: Follow hiring managers & recruiters Find hiring managers and tech recruiters in the US/Canada who’ve posted remote jobs. → Like and comment on their posts → Send a warm DM (not a cold pitch) → Stay on their radar These relationships create long-term opportunities. Step 5: Optimize your LinkedIn profile Make your profile location say: → “Open to Remote Roles in USA & Canada” Recruiters search by location. If your profile says “Kenya” or “India,” they might assume relocation is required unless you clearly state you’re looking for remote roles. Step 6: Highlight your timezone + communication skills Companies care about async work and timezone overlap. Add something like: → “Work comfortably across EST & PST” → “Strong async communicator with 4+ years remote experience” Step 7: Prepare your pitch Once you find a job that fits, don’t just apply. → Engage with the company on LinkedIn → Reach out to an employee or the hiring manager → Show how you solve their problems Outreach > blind applications. Start your search today because roles are going fast. P.S. It’s easier if you already have a valid work visa or permit. If you don’t, focus on global-first companies or consider freelancing until you build leverage. ➕ Follow Jaret André for daily data job search strategies 🔔 Hit the bell to get practical tips that actually land offers

When I was recruiting at a startup, I didn’t have LinkedIn Recruiter or fancy sourcing tools. So I got creative and turned to Google. There’s a trick called X-ray search that recruiters use to find talent. But job seekers can flip it to find roles that aren’t showing up on LinkedIn or job boards. It works because you’re searching company job boards directly specifically sites hosted by Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby which are the three most common platforms used by startups, tech companies and design forward teams to post jobs. Here’s how it works: Say you’re a Product Designer looking for remote roles. Pop this into Google: site:jobs.lever.co OR site:jobs.greenhouse.io OR site:ashbyhq.com "product designer" AND "remote" You’ll get real-time openings, straight from company career pages. Looking for something location-based and you’re a Social Media Manager in LA, use this: site:jobs.greenhouse.io OR site:jobs.lever.co "social media manager" AND "Los Angeles" You can plug in any title, industry or location that matters to you like “brand designer,” “UX internship,” or “marketing. coordinator” This is how I found amazing candidates when I had zero tools. Now I’m sharing it with you because the best jobs aren’t always on the front page. Try it and let me know what you find!

Most job seekers are searching the wrong way—typing job titles into search bars and hoping for the best. 🚨 There’s a better way. It’s called *Boolean search* It’s the exact method recruiters use to find top candidates - faster But, YOU can use it to reverse engineer their search or to find *better* jobs—faster. 👇10 Boolean Search Basics (that could save you hours of scrolling) 🎯 Find jobs in a specific industry & city → "sales director" AND ("tech" OR "software") AND "San Francisco" Only shows sales director roles in tech/software companies in SF. 🎯Exclude job types you don’t want → "project manager" AND "Los Angeles" NOT "contract" Filters out contract roles, so you only see full-time positions. 🎯Find remote jobs (and ignore entry-level roles) → ("data analyst" AND "remote") NOT ("internship" OR "junior") Focuses on remote data analyst jobs while avoiding entry-level roles. 🎯Search multiple job titles at once → ("product manager" OR "program manager" OR "project manager") AND "Seattle" Expands your search to three similar job titles in Seattle. 🎯Find recruiters in your field → (recruiter OR "talent acquisition") AND ("finance" OR "investment banking") Connects you with recruiters who specialize in finance & banking. 🎯Locate hiring managers at a specific company → ("hiring manager" OR "team lead") AND "Tesla" AND "engineering" Helps you find decision-makers at Tesla in the engineering department. 🎯Search for companies currently hiring → "We're hiring" AND ("cybersecurity" OR "network security") AND ("remote" OR "hybrid") Finds job posts from companies actively looking for cybersecurity professionals. 🎯 Discover networking events in your industry → ("digital marketing" OR "SEO") AND ("conference" OR "webinar" OR "networking event") NOT "paid" Finds relevant events for digital marketers without paid ads cluttering results. 🎯Find companies growing fast (new jobs soon!) → "hiring surge" OR "expanding team" OR "new office" AND "biotech" Targets biotech companies that are scaling up—new roles are coming. 🎯Boolean search combo → ( ("UX designer" AND "Austin") OR ("Google" AND ("hiring manager" OR "design lead")) OR (recruiter AND "user experience") ) NOT ("junior" OR "assistant") A power search for UX jobs in Austin, hiring managers at Google, and UX recruiters—while skipping junior-level roles.

The surprising place where 40% of my clients found remote dream jobs (hint: it's not a job board)... 👇🏼 Successful job searches always come down to the details…🍊 The more we take action, the more clarity we get. Everyone's fighting over the same positions on LinkedIn and Indeed. But after helping thousands of professionals build remote careers, I've discovered many of my most successful clients landed their roles through an entirely different channel. The surprising source? Online communities dedicated to their specific industry or skill set. ✅ 1 // Niche communities deliver higher-quality opportunities Most remote job seekers exhaust themselves scanning job boards. Meanwhile, hiring managers for the BEST remote positions are posting in specialized Slack groups, Discord servers, and community forums where they already know qualified candidates hang out. These communities might have 1/100th the traffic of major job boards, but the signal-to-noise ratio is dramatically higher. ✅ 2 // The application-to-interview ratio is transformative On traditional job boards, you're competing with 250-500+ applicants per role. In specialized communities, that number often drops below 30 - and many of those aren't even qualified. My client Sarah applied to 50+ remote marketing positions through job boards with zero interviews. Within her first week of joining two marketing Slack communities, she applied to just 3 positions and received 2 interviews. ✅ 3 // These communities offer the "hidden" advantage When you apply through these channels, you're not just another resume in the ATS. You're seen as a peer who's already part of the same professional ecosystem as the hiring team. This subtle distinction completely changes how your application is perceived and evaluated. ✅ 4 // Finding your perfect communities is simpler than you think: • Ask 3-5 respected colleagues which online communities they value most • Search "[your field/skill] + community" or "[your field/skill] + slack" on Google • Look for niche newsletters that curate specialized job opportunities • Join Github discussions for technical roles or specialized subreddits My client James found his dream remote developer position through a small Discord server dedicated to React developers. The role was never posted publicly because the hiring manager filled it through community referrals first. — 📌 Pro tip (if you’re in product management): As an example, joining Lenny’s Newsletter’s paid community on Slack opens up new PM jobs weekly. This stuff is a goldmine. Remote job searching isn't about applying to more positions - it's about applying to the right positions through the right channels. Question: Have you ever found a new opportunity via smaller communities? Here’s to “escaping the cubicle” Wes #remotework #jobsearchtips #resumewriter 🎥 (@wangzg8)

I was promoted 3x: Sr. Manager - Vice President while working remotely from home. Prior to working from home, I remained an individual contributor for 10 years. Perhaps it was easier to find my stride of excellence with limited distractions, no longer spending time talking about someone's dog who could jump through rings of fire. Working from home allowed me to fully tap into my flow state. (yes, I know remote work is NOT for everyone) If I was looking for a remote job in 2024, here's what I would start my search 6 months in advance: (this strategy also works for my clients) 1. Dedicate 1-2 hours daily on my search strategy :  -Create a job tracker  -Get clear on the job titles  -Focus on becoming an early applicant  -Interview me against job descriptions  -Ensure those roles are in demand by conducting a search  -Setting up alerts on all major job boards including niche remote sites 2. Use 𝐊𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 to level up my resume and discover my ideal career path and save $$ by doing my own resume.  -Try their AI Career Map here: https://lnkd.in/dnhuq3B4 -Then put my resume on file with staffing agencies 3. Research company culture, values, mission, and vision -Use major company review sites  -Check current stock market standing  -Check to see if there were recent layoffs -Review employees on LinkedIn look for promotion lines 4. Network with current employees & build relationships  -Go to job fairs and networking events  -Set aside a small coffee budget and re-engage warm relationships -Build new non-transactional relationships (ask for nothing to start) 5. Wash, rinse, repeat until I find the perfect remote job fit Remember: Excellence is a PRACTICE. Not a location. #kickresumepartner

Want to land your next job before the competition? Here’s a crazy stat: The first 24 hours after a job is posted is when companies get their BEST applications. If you’re not one of the first to apply, your CV might never be seen. But I’ve got you. Here’s a search hack that helps you find hidden job opportunities posted in the last 24 hours. How It Works: 1️⃣ Copy this search into Google: (site:myworkdayjobs.com OR site:greenhouse.io OR site:icims.com OR site:taleo.net OR site:lever.co OR site:smartrecruiters.com OR site:jobvite.com OR site:workforcenow.adp.com OR site:successfactors.com OR site:brassring.com OR site:recruitingbypaycor.com OR site:recruiting.adp.com OR site:workday.com OR site:linkedin.com/jobs OR site:reed.co.uk OR site:totaljobs.com OR site:jobsite.co.uk OR site:cv-library.co.uk OR site:monster.co.uk) ("business analyst" OR "BA" OR "data analyst") ("remote" OR "hybrid" OR "onsite" OR "London" OR "Manchester" OR "UK-wide") 2️⃣ Add this filter to search for jobs posted in the last 24 hours: &tbs=qdr:d 3️⃣ Customise it for YOUR role: Replace "business analyst" with your target job title. Update locations (e.g., "remote", "London", or "UK-wide"). Why This Works: - Beat the Crowd: Stay ahead of candidates applying within hours. - Fresh Jobs Only: Catch opportunities as soon as they’re live. - Global Flexibility: Works in any country, just swap in your local job boards! Quick Tip: Bookmark this search and run it daily. Pair it with LinkedIn outreach and networking to maximise your chances. Pro Tip: This hack doesn’t replace your full job search strategy. Here’s what else to keep in mind: Smaller Companies: Not all use these platforms. Check their websites or network directly. Expand Your Filters: If you’re in a niche industry, consider a wider time frame for applications. Remember: The first 24 hours are critical. Don’t let your dream job slip away. Your next role could be posted RIGHT NOW. PS: If you try this hack, let me know how it works for you! Thanks to Fahim Mukhtar for sharing it

Job search is all about strategy, the way you spend your time, and your resilient mindset. It isn't about working endless hours on 100+ applications and redoing your resume 20 times. As layoffs continue across industries, my biggest tip is don't follow what you used to do a year or two ago. Here are some top job searching sites, tips and advice: 1. Diversify your job strategy beyond LinkedIn. Try Otta (acquired by Welcome to the Jungle)- awesome jobs in tech/remote, Built In (lots of company culture info & jobs), Teal - good for job tracking, interview prep, Glassdoor - great for researching company culture. 2. Follow companies on LinkedIn so you can be EARLY applicant and spot new roles. I can't emphasize enough that if you are late to the game at applying, you are likely wasting time, energy and mental capacity. If the role has been posted more than 3 weeks, you're jumping in too late (unless you have a referral). 3. Spend days researching and digging deep into your target companies. Take days off from applying and rewriting the perfect resume. This balance is truly key to create resilience through the process. Research is creative and can unlock some unique insights and people connections! 4. Think of referrals for companies not only jobs. Job seekers are often looking at a job posting THEN thinking if they can get a referral. I say do opposite. **Think target company first.** Get a conversation with anyone you can, then job postings and roles will follow. 5. Believe. At the end of the day, it takes 1 YES even if you get 1,000 NOs. Your belief in yourself will take you so much further than you could ever imagine. #keepongoing #jobsearch #gethired #mindset #jobsearchtips

Jobseeker PSA: This is the easiest way to find specific hiring managers, recruiters, and referrals on LinkedIn: Boolean search 🙌 Boolean search is a technique many recruiters use when searching for potential candidates. The cool part? Even if you’re not a recruiter, you can still use it. Here’s how: Want to find recruiters and hiring managers that are hiring? In the LinkedIn search bar, try typing: “job title” AND hiring AND remote “job title” AND hiring AND location “job title” AND hiring AND company name For example: “program manager” AND hiring AND remote “program manager” AND hiring AND chicago “program manager” AND hiring AND microsoft Once you click search, all of the recruiters and hiring managers who fit that criteria will appear, along with their most recent posts! Looking for a potential referral instead? Try searching: “job title” AND company name “job title” AND company name AND location Or, one of my personal favorites? Add something like your college, a volunteer organization, etc. to the search string. If you’re reaching out cold, sharing something in common is an easy way to break the ice. For example: “program manager” AND microsoft AND harvard All of the program managers who work for Microsoft and attended Harvard will come up. The combinations are truly endless! A few things to note: - Boolean search strings can be as long and specific as you’d like so play around with keywords. - Remember to capitalize the AND in between words. You can also use the words OR and NOT. Utilizing Boolean search strings can be a game changer for your job search! Have you tried using Boolean search before? - Found this helpful?
