🏝️ St. Augustine lures remote workers

COMPANY SPOTLIGHT

• Twilio is a cloud communications platform that enables developers to embed voice, video, messaging, and authentication capabilities into their web and mobile applications via APIs. It powers customer interactions for companies by providing infrastructure for SMS, phone calls, WhatsApp, email, and other real-time communication channels.

• 124 open roles, primarily in Engineering, Sales, and Marketing.

• Last year, the Twilio CEO stated on LinkedIn that they are not returning to office as long as he’s running the company. He’s still there, and they’re still remote.

Side note: I planned to feature Paylocity this week, but they announced a return-to-office mandate a few days ago. This reddit post has some key details, and as you can imagine, employees aren’t too happy. After a little digging, it looks like they also need to provide clarification about this in their job postings… 🤷🏻‍♂️

SCAMS

Remote job scams on the rise

Scams that advertise remote jobs and ultimately take money from job seekers are nothing new — but with the increasing prevalence of remote work, they appear more legitimate to their victims these days. Business Insider interviewed several experts to come up with tips on avoiding these scams:

• If during the application process you’re being asked for money, it’s likely a scam.

• If you’re unsure about the legitimacy of an offer, search online or on social media for others who have experience in the role you’re looking into.

• Build a network of others who are looking for similar jobs; you’ll likely identify opportunities and scams faster as a result.

• Portia Moore says: “If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is too good to be true, and you want to do your due diligence. When you're looking for remote jobs, you do have to take your time. It's a numbers game. You just can't believe that somebody's selling you gold.”

And, of course, the Remote Source job board only includes hand-selected companies and links directly to their job openings, leaving no room for scams.
