How we get our data

Where the jobs come from

Public job boards that companies use to post their openings (such as Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby), and remote-job sites whose terms allow it (such as Himalayas and Jobicy). We check them every day and always link to the original ad. When a source asks to be credited, we credit it next to the listing.

Ads stay as they were posted, in their original language. When a listing closes at the source, we mark it closed.

How we read each ad

Software reads each ad to find the pay, who can apply, the hours and the skills — partly with fixed rules, partly with an AI model (Google Gemini). Only the public text of the ad is sent to the AI, never anything about you.

Software makes mistakes, so we show you the sentence from the ad that each answer is based on.

“Can you apply?”

Yes

The ad says people in your country can apply. We quote the sentence.

Yes, with a condition

You can apply if you meet something the ad asks for, like working certain hours.

Not clear

No sentence in the ad says either way.

No

The ad limits the job to other countries. Hidden unless you ask to see them.

Regions like “EMEA” or “Latin America” are matched to countries with a fixed list, so the same words always get the same answer.

Pay in your money

• The headline is the lowest pay in the ad’s range, so it isn’t a best case.
• Hourly pay becomes monthly pay at 40 hours a week for jobs and 20 hours a week for platform work, and 52 weeks ÷ 12 per month.
• We show the amount in your local money and in US dollars.

Estimates

When an ad gives no pay, we may show an estimate — only if at least 5 similar roles with the same kind of location rule show their pay. The estimate is the middle half of their pay, and it is always labelled “estimate”.

Exchange rates

Rates come from Frankfurter, an open service that collects the rates published by central banks and other official sources. We refresh them every day, and for some countries we use the home central bank’s own rate. Each amount shows the date and source of its rate.

Where the official rate and the rate people really get are far apart, we warn you next to the amount. The rate your bank or payout service gives you is usually a little worse.

How you get paid

Payout methods and their fees (for example PayPal, Wise and Payoneer) come from each provider’s own pages, with the date we checked. When a fee depends on the amount or the country, we show a range.

Platforms

Which countries each platform accepts, what it pays, its fees and how it pays out come from the platform’s own pages, with the date checked. Where the platform doesn’t say, we may use a reputable secondary source — always with its link and date.

Skills

Our skill list is our own, linked to ESCO — the European Union’s skills classification (© European Union, CC BY 4.0). We count how many open jobs ask for each skill. Courses are free first, and every one links to the provider’s own page.
