Remote jobs — Setup

What counts as work worth applying for: your floor, the kinds of engagement you take, how you get paid — and, below, exactly how a post is judged.

The everyday settings. Turn on “Show advanced tools” below to see the rest.

What the hunt looks for and what the scorer refuses. Until now every one of these was a constant compiled into the code, which meant the numbers deciding whether a job was worth reading could not be changed without a deploy.

Engagements worth taking

A post outside these is shelved with that as the reason, not hidden. 4 of 10.

How it scores

only the ratios matter — doubling all of them changes nothing

Each of these is judged only on what the post actually says. A pillar the post said nothing about is left out of the sum, never scored low — which is not the same thing, and treating it as the same is what once made every result score exactly the same number. Set a pillar to 0 to take it out of the judgement entirely.

Stack fithow much of the stack they named is on your CV40 · 40% of the judgement
Pays enoughonly when they state a rate — silence is never counted against them15 · 15% of the judgement
Open to uswhether their own location rule lets you take it25 · 25% of the judgement
Freshhow long ago it was posted12 · 12% of the judgement
Reachablewhether there is a person to write to rather than a queue8 · 8% of the judgement

The bar is 80. With these weights, something has to earn 80 of the 100 on offer — and a post that stated less is judged out of less, so it is the share that has to clear the bar, not the raw points.

Reasons to refuse

10 of 10 on

These run before any score, in this order, and the first one to fire is the reason you see on the shelf. A refusal is never a deletion — everything refused is still listed, with the rule that refused it — so switching one off here changes what is recommended, not what is kept.

  • 1. Closedthe post states a closing date and it has passed
  • 2. Their location rule excludes usquoted back in the poster's own words, so you can overrule it
  • 3. Payroll or status rulesW2 only, US citizenship, a clearance, no agencies — the rule that decides it and is never in the location field
  • 4. Under your flooronly when the post states a rate; silence is never called underpaid
  • 5. No way to applythe post gave no link and no address
