Best remote job boards in Europe
Updated by Remote1st.
The best remote job board depends on whether you are looking for a role or hiring for one. Big global boards give you reach. A focused board saves you from applying to jobs that are “remote” but only open to people in the US.
The short answer
If you are job hunting, use one broad board plus one board that checks where the employer can hire. If you are hiring, post where the role’s location rules are obvious to candidates. Remote1st covers the second part: fully remote roles open to the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, each with the line from the ad that says where you can work from.

What to check on any board
- Where you can work from. “Remote” often means remote within one country. Look for the country or region rule, not just the word remote.
- How fresh the listing is. Most remote roles get the bulk of their applicants in the first week.
- Salary. Boards that show pay save you time; many ads still leave it out.
- Alerts. A weekly email for your role and region beats checking five sites every day.

Search tips that work
- Search by role plus country, for example “remote backend engineer Germany”, rather than just “remote jobs”.
- Read the location line before you apply. “EMEA” does not always mean every EMEA country.
- Set an alert for your role and region, then apply in the first few days.
