Frequently Asked Questions

Everything worth knowing before you start hunting for real remote work with Highly Remote.

01 About Our Platform

What exactly is Highly Remote?

We're a job board built for people in India who want to work from home and are tired of wading through junk. Every role on the board is fully remote, and a person on our team has checked the company and the posting before it goes live. You browse, you shortlist, you apply straight to the employer.

Why pay when free job sites exist?

Free boards make money from volume, so anyone can post almost anything. That's how "remote" turns out to mean three days in an office, and how registration-fee scams slip through. We make money from one small membership fee instead, which means we can afford to reject listings. Most of your time goes into applying, not filtering.

Do you have a mobile app?

Not yet, and honestly we're in no rush. The site works properly on a phone browser, so you can search and apply from your commute without downloading anything. If enough members ask for an app, we'll build one.

How do I know this isn't another scam site?

Fair question, you should be suspicious. Here's the short version: we never ask you to pay an employer, never take a cut of your salary, and never sell your details to recruiters. The only money that changes hands is the ₹899 you pay us, once, and you can ask for it back within 7 days if the board isn't for you.

02 About the Jobs

How do you check that a listing is genuine?

Every posting goes through a human before it reaches you. We confirm the company is real and registered, check that the hiring contact is on a company domain, read the role to make sure it's genuinely remote, and look for the usual red flags like upfront deposits or training fees. Anything we can't verify simply doesn't get published.

Is there anything here for freshers?

Yes, though we'll be straight with you: remote roles skew towards people with a bit of experience, because companies hiring across distance want someone who can run on their own. You'll still find entry-level openings in support, content, sales development, QA and design. Filter by experience level and you'll see exactly what's open to you.

How many jobs are on the board?

The number moves every week, because roles get filled and we take down anything stale. Think in the low thousands of live listings at any point, with fresh ones added daily. We'd rather show you a smaller board that's current than a huge one full of dead links.

Are all the roles fully remote?

Fully remote is the whole point, so that's what we list. No hybrid roles wearing a remote label, no "remote for now" postings that quietly expect you in an office next quarter. If a role has a location requirement, like a timezone overlap or occasional travel, we spell it out on the listing.

Are the companies Indian or international?

Both. You'll see Indian startups and established firms hiring remotely, plus companies in the US, UK, Europe, Singapore and Australia that are open to hiring from India. The international ones often pay considerably better, so it's worth looking past the familiar names.

What kind of salary can I expect?

It depends entirely on your field and how much experience you're bringing. Support and operations roles tend to start around ₹3 to 6 lakh a year. Engineering, product and design sit much higher, and roles paid in dollars can go well beyond anything a local salary band would suggest. Where an employer shares a range, we show it on the listing.

Can you guarantee jobs in my particular field?

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Some fields, like software, design, marketing, finance and customer support, have plenty going on. Others are thin, because the work genuinely can't be done from home. Take a look at what's live in your category first. If there isn't enough to justify the fee, the 7-day refund is there for exactly that reason.

03 How It Works

What actually happens after I join?

Tell us what you're looking for, pay the one-time fee, and your access link arrives by email within a few minutes. From there the whole board opens up: search, filter by role, salary and experience, and apply to anything you like. Applications go directly to the employer's own hiring page or inbox. We're not in the middle of that conversation.

What does membership cost?

₹899, paid once, for a full year of access. That's it. No per-application charges, no premium tier hiding the good listings, no commission if you land a role. If the board isn't giving you anything worth applying to, write to us within 7 days and we'll refund you in full.

Does my membership renew on its own?

It doesn't. There's no auto-renewal and no card saved on file waiting to charge you in twelve months. When your year is up, access simply stops. If you want another year, you choose to pay for it. Nothing happens quietly in the background.

04 Support & Post-Application

How long does it usually take to land a job?

Most members who apply steadily hear back within a few weeks and sign something within two to three months. The people who move fastest are the ones applying to ten or fifteen well-chosen roles a week with a CV that actually matches the posting. Two applications a month is going to be a long wait, whichever board you use.

Do you guarantee placement?

No. We're a job board, not a placement agency, and anyone promising you a guaranteed job for a fee is selling something else. What we promise is that the openings are real, the companies are real, and nobody's going to ask you for money. The interview and the offer are between you and the employer.

How do I keep track of what I've applied to?

Since applications go straight to the employer, they own the status updates, and those land in your email. Inside your account you can save roles and mark the ones you've applied to, so you've got a running list in one place. For anything beyond that, the employer's careers portal is the place to look.
