FindRemote.Work started out as a side project by our CEO, CE Mayo, in November 2019. Being an advocate of working remotely since 2010, and then adding in the fact that his side project could end up helping people and businesses at the same time, everything came together to begin work on a remote job listing project in his spare time.
By the beginning of February 2020, he realized that he could make a valuable service and website from his side project and started focusing on making it viable using a few spare hours each month. When the governmental COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns were forced upon the US and the world in mid-March 2020, the uptick in need for working from home and for remote workers made a fair priced yet personable remote job listing portal needed more than ever, so work was accelerated to add more capabilities to the app and site.
July 2021: after adding more features than the original & very simple feature set, the FindRemote.Work website was quietly launched. Initial promotion started in business and technical groups as well on various social media platforms.
From 2021 through 2023, the site steadily grew in traffic and job listings as more employers and recruiters found the site and listed their remote jobs. The site had over 10,000 unique visitors each month and over 1,500 monthly remote job listings. Several state based versions for on-site and remote jobs were started development wise, with one for Utah being launched (FindUtah.Work). However a family tragedy struck in mid-2023 that required CE to put the site on hold for a couple of years to deal with personal matters.
In late 2025, many fixes were made to bring the site back up to date with current web technologies and security practices. Going forward, new features are being planned and developed to make FindRemote.Work one of the best remote job listing sites on the web.
