Data Study: Curaiz Lists 3x More Fresh Remote Tech Jobs Than Leading Job Boards (October 2025)
By Eugene Aleksandrov, founder of Curaiz.com
This analysis compares the number of fresh remote job listings across major job boards frequently recommended in Google and ChatGPT results — including Remote.com, Remote Co, Remote Rocketship, We Work Remotely, and Working Nomads. Using a consistent 30-day cap based on industry hiring benchmarks, Curaiz showed 1.4 to 3.8 times more recent job openings than competitors.
History
A few years back, me and my colleague Arsen met in Barcelona for the first time after collaborating remotely for months. I was living that digital nomad life, just traveling around. At my remote job I met many people distributed all over the world and knew someone in almost every city I went to. So while I understand how remote work can make you feel lonely sometimes, I also learned that it can make you belong anywhere.
One day Arsen was sharing with me his “lifehacks” for finding remote work, like some websites that weren't really popular for it but still had good opportunities. We thought it shouldn't be that complicated, and there must be a way to make the one remote job board. That's how Curaiz.com was born — with the mission to aggregate all the remote jobs. And they gotta be fresh.
Now, a few years later, Curaiz is getting close to that goal. So I decided to check how we actually compare to the major players in the space.
Methodology
To define the list of major competitors, I looked at the websites that appear at the top of Google search and in ChatGPT results for remote job-related searches. The same few names kept showing up:
A lot of these websites boast huge numbers of remote jobs – but when you dig deeper, most of them are several months or even years old.
Industry reports (like this one) show that the average time to hire for tech roles is around 48 days, with the decision stage (time between the interview and the offer) taking a big share of that. Mind that the talent supply for remote roles is two to three times higher than for onsite roles (based on a report from Greenhouse), so you want to apply within days since it's posted, not months.
That's why I decided to only compare jobs posted within the last 30 days – the same reason why Curaiz only shows jobs from the past month.
Then I measured the number of jobs available for two common cases:
- Backend developer jobs worldwide — for people looking for that digital nomad lifestyle.
- DevOps engineer jobs in Argentina — for those who prefer remote work within their own country.
Links to each search are attached for transparency.
Results
Backend Developer Jobs — Worldwide (Last 30 Days)
1. We Work Remotely
Number of jobs: 13
View search results
2. Remote.com
Number of jobs: 13
View search results
Observation: Sorting by date disappears and is replaced with sorting by relevancy due to some internal logic, so you need to browse through some older jobs to find all the fresh ones.
3. Remote.co
Number of jobs: 16
View search results
Observation: It seems not possible to apply worldwide remote filters through the UI, but an “International” tag appears if you land on the page via Google search.
4. Remote Rocketship
Number of jobs: 23
View search results
Observation: There's a paywall that hides some jobs, but you can still find all 30-day listings by querying full-time and part-time/contract jobs separately. You also need to remove the “Software Engineer” filter added automatically, as it brings in non-backend roles.
5. Working Nomads
Number of jobs: 10

6. Curaiz
Number of jobs: 89

1. We Work Remotely
Number of jobs: 2
View search results
2. Remote.com
Number of jobs: 3

3. Remote.co

4. Remote Rocketship
Number of jobs: 15
View search results
5. Working Nomads
Number of jobs: 2

The Curaiz Advantage
So how does Curaiz reach a higher number of remote jobs?
It's not a secret that many companies rely on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to manage their job postings and applications. Many remote job boards, like Remote Rocketship or Remote.com, monitor those ATS feeds to achieve a higher volume of listings.
Curaiz does that too — but on top of it, we built an AI-powered system that also monitors company websites directly. This allows us to find remote jobs that are not available through the common ATS lookups, giving Curaiz broader and fresher coverage.
Conclusion
Curaiz currently lists about 1.4x to 3.8x more fresh jobs than the other boards in these benchmarks.
Does it mean that you don't need other job boards?
Not really (yet). Remote.com and Remote Rocketship are newer players on the market and both are trying a similar approach to Curaiz – monitoring company listings directly. And right now there's no single job board that covers all the jobs posted on other platforms.
With that, it's still wise to use a combination of a few, while I'll be working on getting Curaiz to that 100% coverage mark.
