How It Works for Remote Workers

To get started, simply sign up and set up your free Workers profile.

Your profile should be tailored to your specific skills and showcase your unique talents. And once you’ve followed the steps to tailor your profile to showcase your specific skills and unique talents you have, you’re able to search for jobs on our site and apply to as many as you like (with no limitations, all for free).

Employers can also contact you directly about the jobs they have available, so be sure to keep an eye on your messages box in case the perfect opportunity comes to you!

We have workers offering their skills in practically any profession that can be successfully performed online, with the most common being:

• Graphic Designers
• Virtual Assistants
• Web Designers
• Web Developers
• Content Writers
• WordPress Developers
• Social Media Managers
• Marketing Experts
• SEO Specialists

If you have skills in a particular profession like web development, graphic design, or content writing, you’ll definitely be able to find work through us.

However, even if you don’t have a particular skill set like those listed above, you can still find a full-time job with us!

A great majority of the employers on our site are looking for general “virtual assistants” – which is something just about anyone with basic internet knowledge and organizational skills can do. Find a complete list of professional categories here.

Unlike other remote work websites, we give you and your employer complete freedom in choosing which payment options work best for both of you.

Some of the most popular traditional payment methods our workers choose include PayPal, Neteller, Payoneer, Skrill, Mercadopago, Wire Transfers, Zelle among others.

However, we’ve found more and more Latin Americans prefer using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to accept payments, as Bitcoin is an efficient way to accept payments (due to the low transaction fees) and helps battle the rampant inflation affecting many countries in LatAm.

Learn more about how Bitcoin is a better payment alternative here.

During the registration process, you’ll be able to select your preferred payment methods. These will then be displayed on your profile so our employers can see how best they can pay you.

This depends on what you and your employer agree on.

Many businesses in the U.S.and LatAm pay their employees every two weeks, though some pay once per month – so be sure to ask your employer about their payment schedule when you’re getting started with them.

In the beginning, we recommend you ask for weekly payments (splitting your monthly salary into 4 payments) to protect both you and your employer.

If the job doesn’t work out, weekly payments save you from doing a month’s worth of work without getting paid and save your employer from paying for a month’s worth of work if they aren’t satisfied with the results.



Once the two of you have established a mutual trust, feel free to discuss bi-weekly or monthly payments if that works better for you!

The majority of companies looking to hire through our site are from English-speaking countries like the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.

While some may speak Spanish (there are more than 50 million Spanish speakers in the US), most of your communication with your employers will likely be done in English.

For some jobs, it may be okay if your English isn’t very strong, for others this may be an issue.

In addition to improving your ability to communicate with your employer, being able to speak and write English well also gives you a better chance to get paid more as many employers are willing to pay higher salaries for English speakers.

But if you don’t speak English very well, please feel free to join our site and apply for jobs anyway! In addition to our growing list of Spanish-speaking employers in the U.S., we’re also adding more employers from Spain and other LatAm countries every day – so there are opportunities where Spanish is the primary language you’ll use to communicate!

You do not!

However, taking any of our skills tests, the English test in particular, will dramatically increase your chances of finding a job through us.

Our exams are a great way to validate your skills and prove to yourself you know what you’re doing. Plus, they help you win more work by building trust and confidence with potential employers who see your profile and bids.

When you pass exams, badges will be shown on your profile and bids to let clients know we’ve confirmed you have the skills they’re looking for.

Yes!

The jobs posted on our site are all for “remote worker” positions – meaning you work from home while your employer works somewhere else in the world.

Note: this does mean you need a reliable Internet connection, and if you’d like to work somewhere other than your home you’re free to do so.

Our jobs are just like regular office jobs – you’ll work a set number of hours a day and get paid on a regular basis, you just don’t have to go to the office to work!

Since we don’t process payments through our site, we also don’t get involved in payment disputes between workers and companies.

While there is not much we can do if you haven’t gotten paid already, to avoid this problem in the future, we recommend asking for weekly payments when getting started. This way, if a job doesn’t work out, you’re not out a month’s worth of time and effort if you don’t get paid.

And on the employer side, it prevents them from having to pay a month’s salary upfront (which is another way remote workers protect themselves from this issue), only to have the remote worker disappear on them or deliver unsatisfactory results.

Once the two of you have established a mutual trust, feel free to discuss bi-weekly or monthly payments if that works better for you!

Though, as we mentioned above, we don’t get directly involved in payment disputes, you can still report issues like this to us.

If an employer receives too many complaints and is found to be abusing our system, we’ll be sure to ban them to protect you and your fellow remote workers.

The work you’ll do for the companies you connect with through our site will be primarily based on your existing skills and talents – our employers need help with all sorts of tasks!

Typical jobs range from writing blog posts to programming websites, providing customer support, answering emails, or designing web pages.

The first step in finding an employer through us is to sign up for a free remote worker account.

Next, you’ll be taken through a series of steps to complete your profile – listing and rating all your skills, describing any certificates and experience you have, writing a short bio, and uploading your portfolio if you have one.

We recommend being as detailed as possible, as one of the two ways you can find an employer is through our “worker search,” in which potential employers can find and hire you using on a variety of filters based on the information you provide in your profile.



Once you’ve completed your profile, employers can begin to find you through our “workers search.”

And you can begin to search our current job listings and apply to any that you’re interested in; the more jobs you apply to, the better your chances of getting hired!

We’d love to say this process is fast, but we can’t.

The amount of time it takes varies and depends on how much effort you put into your profile and searching for/applying to jobs employers post.

The more detailed your profile and the more you apply to jobs, the faster you’ll find one.

We work hard to ensure our list of jobs and employers is constantly growing.

No, you don’t!

Getting hired on RemoteCo mostly depends on your skills, not your education.

Having a degree helps, of course, but all you really need to find work through our site are the skills and knowledge you list on your worker profile.

Many remote workers that sign up with us are already employed at local Latin American companies and have joined our site to find a job that is remote and allows flexibility, and you could be one of them!

However, if you’re only looking for part-time work, that’s fine too.

Just make sure you’re upfront with all your potential employers about your current job status and availability each week.

Note: full-time work usually means 40+ hours of work per week, while part-time work is up to 20+ hours.

In some form, yes!

The employers that post jobs and hire workers through our site have companies in various industries and of various sizes, so the process may be more or less formal than you’re used to.

However, there isn’t a job in the world (that we can think of, anyway) for which an employer won’t want to get to know you before hiring.

So, in addition to the information you include in your profile and any job applications you make, expect your potential employer to take you through some sort of hiring process before they make their decision.

This process also gives you a chance to ask questions about the job to ensure it’s right for you before you accept. Expect this process to start by exchanging details and information through our messaging system and email.

At some point, many employers will request a call interview with you (either voice or video, usually using Internet services like Skype/Zoom/Hangouts).

After that, they might have some internal discussion to decide whether or not they want to work with you before letting you know whether the job is yours.

Companies that post jobs through our site need help in both full and part-time positions!

We do strongly encourage employers to hire workers on a full-time basis as we feel that’s what most of our remote workers are looking for, but we don’t turn away from companies who only have part-time jobs available.

Note: full-time work usually means 40+ hours of work per week, while part-time work is up to 20+ hours.

Whether you choose to go with a full or part-time position is entirely up to you!

Yes, all the jobs published on our site are all 100% remote jobs. We verify a confirm every job that is posted on our site (free job posts also). All the jobs posted on our site are aimed at people living in the Latin American region and are exclusive only on RemoteCo.

If you live in LatAm, then yes!

Other than that one requirement, we accept workers of any skill level.

NOTE: We reserve the right to reject or block profiles of remote workers who infringe our terms of service and conditions, who do not complete the profile correctly, do not follow the instructions or abuse our system in general.
