About this recruitment website reference
This recruitment reference provides a starting point for discussing a focused job board organized around remote opportunities. Explore Remote OK with a specific customer journey in mind: how visitors find relevant information, compare their options and take the next step. For your own website, decide which of these patterns serves your audience before choosing visual details or extra features.
Use Remote OK's official website to explore the reference. The notes below are planning guidance for your own product, not a specification of the reference site's internal systems.

Design and user experience to consider
Review remote role listings, category filters and application links as distinct parts of the experience. In a similar build, use clear page labels and make the next action understandable on a small screen. Check whether a visitor can return to the previous step without losing the context of their search or selection.
Key journeys to review
Remote role listings
Category filters
Application links
Planning your first release
Define what qualifies as remote and display location restrictions clearly. Manual employer approval can support an initial curated board.
Technology and integrations
For this direction, PostgreSQL could support the proposed implementation alongside React and Node.js. Confirm the source of the information behind remote role listings and the handoff required for application links. Agree on ownership, update frequency and a fallback when a connected service is unavailable.
The suggested stack of React, Node.js, PostgreSQL is a starting point. We would confirm it against your existing tools, data, expected traffic and maintenance needs before implementation.
What to bring to a scoping call
- Identify the customer journey you want to support and the action a visitor should complete.
- Bring your content, brand assets and details of any systems that must connect to the website.
- Separate launch essentials from later features, and agree how each essential workflow will be tested.
Scope, content readiness and integrations determine the estimate. Explore our MVP development process or discuss this reference with our team.
