The most popular remote job board, RemoteOK.com, is adding a premium option for seekers.
The value proposition? Free users receive a sample of jobs, while paid users gain access to all jobs and have a higher chance of scoring a remote job. But in a world with a ton of remote job boards, will this fly?
For RemoteOk the answer is yes. With the amount of traffic they have a certain percentage of users will certainly sign up. Here’s a look at the pricing.
OpenAI announced last week they will be building some kind of jobs marketplace. Details are sparse however. According to their blog post;
If you’re a business looking to hire an AI-savvy employee, or you just need help with a specific task, finding the right person can be hit-or-miss. The OpenAI Jobs Platform will have knowledgeable, experienced candidates at every level, and opportunities for anyone looking to put their skills to use. And we’ll use AI to help find the perfect matches between what companies need and what workers can offer.
Importantly, the jobs platform won’t just be a way for big companies to attract more talent. It will have a track dedicated to helping local businesses compete, and local governments find the AI talent they need to better serve their constituents. For example, the Texas Association of Business wants to use the platform to connect thousands of Texas employers with talented people who can help them modernize their businesses.
We also realize that anyone looking to hire, whether it’s through the Jobs Platform or elsewhere, needs to trust that candidates are actually fluent in AI. Most businesses, including small businesses, think AI is the key to their future. And most of the companies we talk to want to make sure their employees know how to use our tools.
This news got a lot of coverage and with the amount of users they already have could challenge entities like Indeed and Linkedin. Definitely bears watching. At first glance it may be skewed towards AI related listings.
