Why Remote Commons is free
Remote Commons is a remote job board where nobody pays to post or to apply.
Questions
Is Remote Commons free?
Yes. Employers post remote jobs for free and job seekers apply for free. There are no paid listings, no featured slots and no application fees.
How do I apply for a job?
Create a free job seeker account and apply on the job page with a short note and an optional resume link. Some jobs link to the employer's own application page instead.
How do I post a remote job?
Create a free employer account and post the job. It is live straight away for 45 days and can be renewed for free.
How are scams kept off the board?
Every job and comment is checked by rules and an AI moderator before it is shown; suspicious posts are held for a human moderator, and three reports from users hide a job automatically.
Where do the jobs come from?
Employers post directly, and the board also lists remote jobs from other boards' public feeds, each linked back to its original listing.
Does AI search cost money?
Every account gets 5 free AI searches a day. After that, AI search, the search API and the MCP server use credits, which are sold in packs. Browsing, posting and applying stay free.
Can my AI agent search these jobs?
Yes. There is an MCP server at /mcp and a semantic search API at /api/search, both used with a free API key; /llms.txt describes them.
