If you’ve been thinking, “It’s time to hire—but where do I even start?”, you’re not alone.
This 5-minute read will walk you through the exact steps to post your first remote job with confidence, helping you attract the right candidates from the start. By the end, you’ll have a simple checklist you can use to create a job post that stands out and sets the tone for building a strong remote team.
Why Posting the Right Way Matters
At NoGigiddy, we see it every day: job postings that are too vague, too complicated, or missing the details that top talent looks for. When this happens, your post gets lost in a sea of listings.
A thoughtful, clear job description does more than tell people what you need—it helps you find people who will thrive in your company and makes your hiring process faster and easier.
If you’re feeling unsure where to begin, this guide will break it down step by step.
1. What’s the Job? What Problem Does It Solve?
Before you even write your post, get clear on why this role exists.
Instead of a vague title like “Assistant,” think about what problem this person will solve for your business. For example:
- “Remote Executive Assistant to Manage Inbox & Scheduling”
- “Customer Service Specialist to Improve Client Response Times”
This clarity helps attract candidates who understand how they can add value from day one.

2. Be Specific!
Make sure to use the word “Remote” in your job title. Job seekers are actively filtering for this term, so including it ensures your post reaches the right people.
Also, the more specific you are, the better. Include details about your industry and the kind of work expected.
3. Async or Real-Time? State Time Zone Preferences
Not all remote work looks the same.
Some roles require overlapping work hours (real-time collaboration), while others can be done asynchronously (flexible hours). Be upfront about your preference:
- Real-time: “Available 9–2 EST for daily team calls”
- Async: “Work when it suits you—deadlines matter more than hours.”
This helps potential applicants understand if their availability aligns with your needs.

4. Make It Easy to Apply
If applying feels like a second job, great candidates will skip your post.
- Provide simple instructions.
- If you require a cover letter, make sure it’s clear.
- Share the timeline for next steps so applicants know what to expect.
Transparency makes your company look organized and respectful of applicants’ time.
5. Mention the Platforms and Tools They’ll Use
Listing tools like Slack, Zoom, ClickUp, or HubSpot helps candidates self-assess whether they’re a good fit. Remote workers appreciate knowing the systems in place so they can hit the ground running.
6. Share Salary or At Least a Range
Being upfront about compensation attracts more serious candidates and sets clear expectations. Even a range communicates respect for the applicant’s time.
