Remote Jobs Board Spotlight
This month we are stepping out of our comfort zone and sharing a jobs board that is NOT dedicated to remote!
LinkedIn is a professional networking platform that connects individuals, businesses, and recruiters. Launched in 2003, it has become the leading global platform for career development, with over 900 million users.
But it also has a jobs board and it curates both paid for listings and it pulls on paid listings in from the internet - all that means there are currently +4K remote jobs listed as available in Ireland 🚀

What do we link about using LinkedIn as a remote jobs board?
Ease of access and # of remote jobs available
Filter of jobs based on location (e.g. Ireland)
Ability to apply an experience filter
Easy access to the company profile page for more info
Excellent job seeker resources (such as interview prep & LinkedIn Learning)
Top Tip - Make sure that you use the filters to define the country “Ireland” and location as “Remote”. Important - because LinkedIn is “scraping” some of the non paid listings from the careers pages of employers there are some non remote jobs that sneak their way into the listings. You will need to check out the company & the actual job listing to validate it!
Remote Work Skills & Tools
A key skill for remote work success is virtual collaboration - an essential component for any remote team looking to thrive. Leveraging the right digital tools can make all the difference in streamlining communication, fostering creativity, and enhancing team productivity.
Tools like Miro and Mural are collaboration enablers, interactive collaboration, whether you're brainstorming ideas or working on projects with colleagues across time zones.
Check out this introduction video from Miro to learn more and make sure that when you connect with your future remote employer you can tell them you have had hands on experience with the digital tools that will help you collaborate and thrive in a remote team!
We offer a variety of training courses for individuals and employers.
Our “Leading Remote & Hybrid Teams” 8 week training program is built to help you bring things like digital workplace tools into your remote or hybrid team.

The Impact of Remote
When a remote job lands in a local community (rural or urban) it unlocks positive social, economic and environmental benefits.
Paul, a father of three who lives in Blackrock in Co Cork said on LinkedIn that “Remote work is not a perk, it’s not a nice to have, fringe benefit, it’s not working from home only in a crisis, it’s not something you grant and then withdraw, it is a new way of working that is changing lives around the world…” He was astounded when it garnered 5.5 million impressions and 65,000 likes worldwide!
Full article published by the Irish Times is available here.

Reminder - we are impact led as an organisation so please do let us know if you get a remote job thanks to any of the work we do. It will make us all smile & we can send you some Grow Remote SWAG plus a €50 voucher for your local SuperValu as a little “well done you” 👏
Or if you have a story of how remote work work has impacted you or your local community socially, economically or environmentally - we would love to hear it.
The State of Remote IE
According to the latest Jobs Index by hiring platform Irish Jobs, the number of vacancies offering fully remote working fell to just 1.9% between July and the end of September.

Stop - wait - now hold on just a minute!
The number of remote jobs listed on LinkedIn today is +4,500 from a total of +32,000 jobs listed in Ireland. That = roughly 13% and is in fact an increase of +100% vs the numbers that we have seen over the previous quarter.
So while yes there is a supply issue and demand for remote jobs in Ireland significantly outstrips supply - this also highlights the issue 👇
“Remote employers often avoid traditional platforms in favor of targeted approaches. This means remote jobs have been typically difficult to access compared with office-based positions.”
So, make sure that you are looking in a "wide range of places and spaces to support your job search - our list of remote employers and remote jobs boards has been built to help with just that!
