Simply select relevant skill tags (like Python, React, Product Management) and get notified when new jobs matching those skills are posted.

When new matching opportunities are found, we'll email you with job details and direct apply links included.

Subscribing is easy and takes just a few steps:  - Scroll to the subscription section on our homepage;  - Enter your email address;  - Select multiple skill tags that match your expertise (like Python, AWS, UI/UX);  - Select job types you're interested in: Full-time, Part-time, and/or Contract (all selected by default);  - Choose how often you want notifications: Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, or Monthly (Daily is default);  - Click 'Subscribe';  - Check your email for a confirmation message.  You can update your preferences or unsubscribe anytime using the link in any alert email.

Every email alert includes a 'Manage Preferences' link at the bottom that allows you to:  - Modify your selected skill tags;  - Change job type preferences (Full-time, Part-time, Contract);  - Adjust notification frequency (Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly);  - Unsubscribe completely.  Changes take effect immediately, and you'll never receive unwanted emails.

You control the frequency. When subscribing, you can choose from four options:  - Daily - receive notifications every day only when new matching jobs are posted;  - Weekly - get a weekly notification on any day of the week, you pick;  - Bi-weekly - receive updates every two weeks;  - Monthly - get a monthly summary of new opportunities;  The default is Daily notifications. Regardless of your chosen frequency, we only send emails when there are actual new jobs matching your criteria - we never send empty alerts or spam. You can change your frequency preference anytime through the link in any email.

Question 13

What information is included in job alert emails?

Accepted Answer

Each job alert email provides comprehensive information to help you make quick decisions:  - Job title and company details  - Salary range (e.g., $120k-$180k/year)  - Location and remote work policy  - Job type (Full-time, Part-time, or Contract)  - Key skill tags that matched your subscription (like Python, React, AWS)  - How recently the job was posted  - A direct "Apply" button that redirects you to the hiring platform.  The email is designed for quick scanning so you can immediately identify opportunities worth pursuing.

Question 14

Can I choose what types of jobs to receive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When subscribing to alerts, you can select which job types you're interested in: Full-time, Part-time, or Contract positions. All three are selected by default, but you can uncheck any type you're not interested in.  For example, if you only want full-time positions, simply deselect Part-time and Contract. This ensures you only receive notifications for job types that match your availability and career goals. You can update these preferences anytime through the manage subscription link in your emails.

Question 15

Is referry really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, referry is 100% free for job seekers. You never pay to browse jobs, receive email alerts, or apply for positions. There are no hidden fees, subscription costs, or premium tiers.  We don't charge companies to post jobs, and we don't take a cut from your salary. Our revenue comes from referral commissions paid by the hiring platforms when someone we refer gets hired.  This means our interests are aligned with yours - we succeed when you find a great job.

Question 16

How does referry make money?

Accepted Answer

We earn referral commissions from the hiring platforms when candidates we refer successfully get hired.  Here's how it works: When you click the "Apply" button on our website or through our email alerts, you're redirected to the hiring platform with our unique referral link. If you complete your application through that link and get hired, the platform pays us a referral commission.  This commission is paid by the platform, not deducted from your salary - you receive the same compensation whether you apply through us or directly. This business model ensures referry remains completely free for job seekers while incentivizing us to find and share the best opportunities.  If you'd like to support our free service, please use the "Apply" button from our site or emails when applying. This ensures the hiring platforms know you came from referry and can compensate us for the referral. Thank you!

Question 17

What happens to my data?

Accepted Answer

We take your privacy seriously and follow strict data protection practices. We only collect the information you explicitly provide: your email address, skill tag preferences for job alerts, job type preferences (Full-time/Part-time/Contract), and notification frequency settings.  We use this data solely to send you relevant job alerts. We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.  When you click "Apply" and visit a hiring platform, their privacy policy takes effect - we recommend reviewing each platform's policies. You can request deletion of your data or unsubscribe from our service at any time through the link in any email or by contacting us.

Question 18

Is referry a scam?

Accepted Answer

No, referry is a legitimate job aggregation service. We operate transparently using a standard referral business model similar to many job boards and recruitment platforms.  Our process is simple: we aggregate publicly available job listings from established hiring platforms, make them easier to discover through multilingual support and email alerts, and earn referral commissions when our users get hired through our links.  We're completely upfront about how we make money, we never ask for payment from job seekers, and we clearly explain our referral mechanism. The jobs we list are real positions from verified hiring platforms.  If you have any concerns, you can verify this by comparing our listings with the original platform listings, or contact us with questions.

Question 19

How do I apply for jobs on referry?

Accepted Answer

Applying through referry is straightforward:  - Browse jobs on our homepage or wait for email alerts matching your subscriptions;  - Click on any job that interests you to view full details;  - Review the job description, requirements, salary, and other information;  - When ready to apply, click the "Apply" button on the job page;  - You'll be redirected to the original hiring platform with our referral link automatically included in the URL;  - Complete your application on that platform following their process;  - If hired, the platform pays us a referral commission at no cost to you;  To support our free service, we kindly ask that you use the "Apply" button from our site or emails when applying. This ensures the hiring platforms know you came from referry and can compensate us for the referral, which keeps our service running.

Question 20

Who is eligible to use referry?

Accepted Answer

referry is available to job seekers worldwide. We specialize in helping non-English-speaking professionals access high-paying remote opportunities by providing job listings in 32 languages including English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Arabic.  Whether you're a software developer, designer, product manager, data analyst, or work in other professional fields, you can use our platform.  However, eligibility for specific jobs depends on each employer's requirements. Some positions may have location restrictions, work authorization requirements, or specific qualification needs. Always review the job details carefully before applying.

Question 21

Do I need to be a US citizen to apply for jobs on referry?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to be a US citizen to apply. referry aggregates remote positions from global hiring platforms, and many of these jobs are open to candidates worldwide regardless of citizenship or location.  That said, specific job requirements vary:  - Many remote positions welcome international applicants and don't require US citizenship;  - Some companies may have location preferences (e.g., specific time zones for collaboration) but still hire globally;  - A smaller percentage may require US work authorization or residency for legal/compliance reasons.  Each job listing clearly states citizenship and work authorization requirements in its description. We recommend reading the eligibility criteria carefully before applying. If the listing doesn't specify, it's often open to global applicants - you can confirm during the application process on the hiring platform.

Question 22

Do I need work authorization to apply?

Accepted Answer

Work authorization requirements vary by job and are set by the hiring companies, not by referry. Many of the remote positions we feature are open to candidates worldwide without specific work authorization requirements, while others may specify location restrictions or visa requirements.  Each job listing clearly states the work authorization requirements in its description. We recommend reading each job's details carefully before applying.  If you have questions about work authorization for a specific position, contact the hiring platform or company directly through their application process.

Question 23

How long does it take to get hired?

Accepted Answer

Hiring timelines vary significantly depending on the company and role. referry connects you with job opportunities but doesn't control the hiring process - that's managed by the companies and hiring platforms where you apply.  Typical remote hiring processes can take anywhere from 1 week to 2 months and usually include:  - Application review (1-5 days)  - Initial screening (1-2 weeks)  - Technical or skill assessments (1-2 weeks)  - Final interviews (1-2 weeks)  - Offer and negotiation (3-7 days)  The best way to understand a specific role's timeline is to ask during your initial conversations with the hiring platform or company.

Question 24

Does referry conduct interviews?

Accepted Answer

No. referry is a job aggregation and referral platform - we help you discover opportunities and connect with hiring platforms, but we don't conduct interviews or manage the hiring process.  Once you click "Apply" and are redirected to the hiring platform, their team handles all aspects of recruitment including application review, interviews, assessments, and job offers.  If you have questions during the application or interview process, contact the hiring platform or company directly through the communication channels they provide.

Question 25

Should I use referry's link or apply directly on the platform?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using referry's "Apply" button or email links when applying, and here's why it's helpful for both of us:  - Our referral links include tracking codes that tell the hiring platform you came from referry. If you apply through our link and get hired, the platform pays us a referral commission - this is how we fund our free service. If you apply directly on the platform's website instead, they won't know you came from us, and we won't receive the commission.  - Using our links doesn't affect your application, salary, or chances of getting hired in any way - employers see identical applications regardless of the referral source. The commission is paid by the platform, not deducted from your compensation.  By using our links, you help us continue providing free job aggregation, multilingual support, and email alerts to job seekers worldwide - at no cost to you.

Question 26

Can I apply to multiple jobs at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! You can apply to as many jobs as you want - there are no limits or restrictions.  Each job application is independent, so applying to one position doesn't affect others. However, we recommend a quality-over-quantity approach:  - Focus on positions that truly match your skills and interests;  - Customize your application materials for each role when possible;  - Read job requirements carefully before applying;  - Don't spam applications - it may hurt your chances with hiring platforms.  Remember: 5 well-targeted applications are more effective than 50 generic ones. Take the time to apply thoughtfully to opportunities where you're a strong fit.

Question 27

What should I prepare before applying?

Accepted Answer

Being well-prepared increases your chances of success. Here's what we recommend having ready:  - Updated resume in English - most hiring platforms require English resumes, even for non-English speaking candidates;  - Portfolio or GitHub profile - essential for technical roles (developers, designers). Include your best work samples;  - LinkedIn profile - many employers will check this. Keep it current and professional;  - Cover letter template - optional but recommended. Prepare a base version you can customize for each application;  - Clear understanding of job requirements - read the full job description carefully and make sure you meet the key qualifications;  - Availability and salary expectations - be ready to discuss your start date and compensation requirements.  Tip: For technical roles, having live project demos or deployed applications significantly strengthens your application.

Question 28

What languages does referry support?

Accepted Answer

referry currently supports 32 languages to help non-English-speaking professionals access global opportunities: English (US), Chinese Simplified (China), Chinese Traditional (Taiwan), Japanese, Korean, Spanish (Spain & Mexico), French, German, Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal), Arabic (Saudi Arabia), and more.  Our system automatically translates job listings, interface elements, and help documentation into your selected language. You can switch languages anytime using the language selector on our website.

Salary ranges typically span $80k-$200k+ annually for experienced professionals.

Question 30

How does referry ensure job quality?

Accepted Answer

We maintain quality through several mechanisms:  - Platform selection - we only aggregate from reputable, established hiring platforms that pre-vet their job listings;  - Automated filtering - our system filters for jobs with competitive salaries (typically $80k+), clear requirements, and legitimate descriptions;  - Focus on high-paying positions - we prioritize roles with substantial referral potential, which correlates with higher job quality;  - Regular updates - we ensure outdated or filled positions are removed quickly to keep our listings fresh and relevant.  While we aggregate from trusted sources, we always recommend candidates conduct their own due diligence by researching the hiring company, reading reviews, and asking questions during the interview process.

Question 31

How are jobs categorized?

Accepted Answer

We use a sophisticated tag-based categorization system to help you quickly find relevant opportunities. Each job is tagged with 3-8 specific skill or attribute tags from our curated library of 50+ core tags. These tags are organized into 5 main categories:  - 💻 Tech (programming languages like Python, JavaScript, React; tools like AWS, Docker; specialties like Machine Learning)  - 💼 Business (functions like Product Management, Sales, Marketing)  - 🎨 Design (specialties like UI/UX, Graphic Design; tools like Figma, Adobe XD)  - 📊 Data (tools like SQL, Tableau; skills like Data Analytics, Statistics)  - 🌍 Industry (sectors like FinTech, AI/ML, SaaS)  You can click any tag to filter jobs by that skill. When subscribing to email alerts, you can select multiple tags to receive notifications only for jobs matching your expertise.

Question 32

How often are new jobs added?

Accepted Answer

We regularly update our job listings from partner platforms to ensure you always have access to the latest opportunities. New jobs are added frequently throughout the week, though the actual number varies depending on what's newly posted on the hiring platforms.  If you've subscribed to email alerts based on skill tags, you'll be notified as soon as new matching opportunities are added (based on your chosen frequency: Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, or Monthly). We also regularly remove jobs that have been filled or expired to keep our listings current and relevant.

Question 33

How accurate are the salary ranges shown?

Accepted Answer

The salary ranges shown on referry are sourced directly from the job listings on hiring platforms. We display the exact salary information that employers have provided on those platforms. However, please keep in mind:  - Actual salary offers may vary based on your specific experience, skills, location, and negotiation;  - Some employers post salary ranges that can be quite broad (e.g., $80k-$150k) to attract a wider pool of candidates;  - Currency conversions (if applicable) are approximate and may fluctuate;  - Additional compensation like bonuses, equity, or benefits may not be reflected in the base salary range.  We recommend using the displayed salary as a starting reference point, but always discuss specific compensation details directly with the hiring company during your interview process.

Question 34

Can I save jobs for later?

Accepted Answer

Currently, referry focuses on providing real-time job discovery and email alerts rather than job saving features. However, you can easily keep track of interesting jobs by:  - Bookmarking job pages in your browser for quick access later;  - Opening interesting jobs in new tabs while you browse;  - Copying job links and saving them in your own notes or task management app;  - Subscribing to email alerts with relevant tags so you won't miss similar opportunities in the future;  Since jobs on hiring platforms can be filled quickly, we recommend applying to opportunities that interest you as soon as possible rather than saving them for later.  If you've subscribed to job alerts, you'll automatically receive notifications about new similar positions.

Question 35

How do I know if a job is still available?

Accepted Answer

We automatically sync with our partner hiring platforms and remove jobs that are marked as filled or expired. However, there can sometimes be a brief delay between when a position is filled and when it's removed from our listings. To check if a job is still available:  - Click the "Apply" button to visit the job on the original hiring platform - if the listing is still active there, the position is likely still open;  - Check the job posting date shown on each listing - positions posted recently are more likely to be available;  - Apply promptly when you find an interesting opportunity - high-quality remote positions can receive hundreds of applications and be filled quickly.  If you encounter a job that appears to be no longer available on the hiring platform, please let us know so we can update our listings. We regularly clean up our database to ensure you're seeing the most current opportunities.

Question 36

What if I have questions?

Accepted Answer

We're here to help! If you have questions about using referry, our email alert system, subscription management, or anything else related to our platform, you can:  - Check our FAQ section for answers to common questions;  - Contact us directly through the email address provided on the footer.  Please note that for questions about specific job requirements, interview processes, or application status, you'll need to contact the hiring platform or company directly, as they manage their own recruitment processes.

Question 37

Does using the referral link affect my application?

Accepted Answer

No, using referry's referral link has absolutely no negative impact on your application. The hiring platforms and companies evaluate your application based solely on your qualifications, experience, and skills - not on how you discovered the job.  The referral link simply tracks that you came from referry so the platform knows to pay us a commission if you're hired. You receive the same salary, benefits, and consideration as candidates who apply through any other channel.  In fact, some platforms may even prioritize referred candidates because they know the referral source (us) has already done initial filtering for quality opportunities.

Question 38

Can I browse jobs in multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can switch between any of our 32 supported languages at any time using the language selector on our website. Each page will be automatically translated into your selected language, including job titles, descriptions, interface elements, and help documentation.  This is particularly useful if you're multilingual or want to see how a job description reads in different languages.  Note that original job listings from hiring platforms are typically in English, and our translation system converts them into other languages for accessibility. When you apply through our referral link, you'll interact with the hiring platform in their supported languages.

Question 39

How do I unsubscribe from email alerts?

Accepted Answer

Unsubscribing is simple and instant. Every email alert we send includes an 'Unsubscribe' link at the bottom. Click that link, and you'll be immediately removed from our mailing list - no confirmation needed.  Alternatively, you can click 'Manage Preferences' in any email to access your subscription settings, where you can unsubscribe, pause notifications, or modify your preferences instead of unsubscribing completely.  If you change your mind later, you can always resubscribe through our homepage with the same or different preferences. We respect your inbox and never send emails after you've unsubscribed.

Question 40

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Currently, referry is a web-based platform optimized for all devices including mobile browsers. While we don't have a dedicated mobile app yet, our website is fully responsive and works seamlessly on smartphones and tablets. You can:  - Browse jobs on your phone's browser just like on desktop;  - Receive email alerts directly to your mobile device;  - Click job links from emails to apply on the go;  - Bookmark our website on your home screen for quick access.  We're focused on providing the best web experience first, and may consider developing a dedicated mobile app in the future based on user demand and feedback.

Question 41

What if I don't speak English well?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly why we created referry! We understand that language barriers can prevent talented professionals from accessing international opportunities. Here's how we help:  - 32 language support - browse our entire platform in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and more languages;  - Job descriptions translated - while original listings are in English, we provide translations so you can understand requirements in your native language;  - FAQ resources - our frequently asked questions are available in multiple languages to help you understand how to use the platform;  - Email alerts in your language - receive job notifications in your preferred language.  However, please note that most international remote positions require at least intermediate English proficiency for communication with teams and clients. We recommend honestly assessing your English level and focusing on roles that match your current language skills. Many positions also specify their language requirements in the job description.

Question 42

Are there any hidden fees or costs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. referry is 100% free for job seekers, with no hidden fees, subscription costs, or charges at any stage:  - Browsing jobs - completely free  - Subscribing to email alerts - completely free  - Clicking referral links - completely free  - Applying to jobs - completely free  - Your salary if hired - completely unaffected  We make money through referral commissions paid by the hiring platforms when candidates we refer get hired. This commission comes from the platform's budget, not from your salary or compensation. You receive the exact same pay, benefits, and treatment as any other candidate. Using referry only helps you discover opportunities more easily - it never costs you anything.

Question 43

How long does it typically take to hear back after applying?

Accepted Answer

Response times vary significantly depending on the hiring platform, company, and specific role. Here's what to generally expect:  - Initial response - anywhere from a few days to 2-3 weeks after applying;  - High-demand roles - may receive responses faster (within a week) as companies want to secure top talent quickly;  - Competitive positions - may take longer as companies review hundreds of application;s  - No response - unfortunately, some companies don't send rejection notifications, which is common in remote hiring;  Please note that referry is a job aggregation platform - we help you discover opportunities and provide referral links, but we don't manage the hiring process or influence response times. Each hiring platform and company has their own recruitment timeline. If you haven't heard back after 2-3 weeks, it's reasonable to follow up directly with the hiring platform or continue applying to other opportunities. We recommend applying to multiple positions to increase your chances.
