Nice @josh_goldstein ! What this just a natural progression (to focus on remote workers) in your opinion?
There is certainly a huge market out there and its only increasing with remote work. How do you see yourself competing (if at all) with the likes of Gigster?

@bentossell Thanks! The caliber of remote candidates that sign up for Underdog.io has always been extremely high. We believe that great engineers live everywhere, not just in San Francisco or New York. So, to help more people, we started doing a remote-only technical batch. And, because we believe in companies that value remote work, we recently decided to make it FREE! =D
We're not really competitive with Gigster (but we appreciate their model). We work mostly with funded startups looking to hire for full-time roles. We're still picky, turning down one of every two companies that attempt to join the network. With us, you're not hiring a team to build an app. You're hiring someone to join your team (hopefully) for the long haul.
