I've worked exclusively with remote teams for almost 8 years now. Love it! I'm happy to be a referrer and have connections to London, Romania, Sweden and Spain. Feel free to get in touch (email in profile). I've also met or networked with many of the existing referers (Dmitri via HNLondon, Rob Fitz, and Ryan Hoover via producthunt) Good group so far!
You may want to fix your Mail Chimp setup. After I confirmed my subscription, I was redirected to http://www.youraudience.io/ when I clicked on 'Continue to website'. I think you want to point it to developeragents.com.
I have subscribed as someone who is looking to get in to remote contract work.
I like the idea. It would be great if signup had three funnels:
(1) I want to hire a remote developer
(2) I want to recommend a remote developer
(3) I am a remote developer looking for work
I would imagine you could rank people in Bucket #3 by some GitHub criteria (languages, commits, stars on projects, etc.) and also by the number of people in Bucket #2 who recommend the developer. I think FounderDating works in a similar way -- you have to get recommended by people in the network, but maybe you could just let the hiring people in Bucket #1 sort devs by the number/quality of recommendations from others.
It is our goal to create a promotion platform for skilled remote developers.
The core idea is that you should be able to work for world-class companies no matter where you live or how strong your network is.
We started it as a newsletter and are now thinking how to productize it the right way. Would love HN feedback on this project!
Thanks in advance.
