If you are a Black, queer, or trans-led organization with a limited budget, please email info@blackremoteshe.com to discuss other social media posting options.

Please email info@blackremoteshe.com with the requested updates and we will manually make the update to your job posting.
How can I view applicants and metrics for my job postings on Black Remote She?
Because we link our community directly to you, there isn’t a way to view or track applicants or metrics within the Black Remote She platform. Community members will use the application link provided in your job submission to learn more and apply for your position.
If you’re interested in tracking incoming applicants from your job postings on Black Remote She, we recommend using a referral link or other tracking parameters to monitor submissions from our community.
Questions about our Vetting Process
Can my job posting to be declined?
Yes, all job opportunities submitted to Black Remote She are vetted before sharing with our community. Learn more about our vetting process here.
If you’re concerned about your work culture meeting our requirements, please email info@blackremoteshe.com for a more detailed vetting process.
Please Note: Job postings submitted with unreported discriminatory complaints will be removed immediately and will not be refunded.
Can you explain more about your policy for removing job postings?
Transparency is crucial for keeping Black Remote She safe for our community of job seekers. If you are already aware of reports of harm inflicted on former or current employees, please reach out first. Even if your job posting is denied, you will never be turned away from other helpful resources and networks. However, it takes accountability and transparency for this process to be effective.
How can we prepare for your vetting process?
You are encouraged to check your former employee reviews before posting to Black Remote She. If it isn’t already a habit to monitor former employee feedback, it is strongly encouraged to implement this routine in your regular operations.
At Black Remote She’s discretion, your job posting will be denied if there are unreported concerns about your organization. If your job posting is submitted prior to reaching out for a longer vetting process and/or we find or learn of any unreported discriminatory complaints, your job posting will be denied and will not be refunded. This is our policy to protect the well-being and safety of our community.
What happens to the money we spent for our posting if it’s denied and nonrefundable?
Our top priority is to help you improve your current work culture. Your job posting will be used as a donation to Black Remote She and your contribution will be reinvested to pay for the labor necessary to connect you with other helpful resources or networks to help you expand your team.
If our job posting is denied, is it possible to post again in the future?
If we see you take action towards implementing necessary changes, including, but not limited to taking accountability, investing in a DEI partnership, implementing employee feedback, or other actionable responses to making changes at your workplace, you may be considered for future posting opportunities at Black Remote She.
However, at Black Remote She’s discretion, lack of accountability, severity of community reports, and lack of transparency will also be considered in deciding not to engage further with your company.
What happens if our organization has former discriminatory complaint(s), but have since made policy and/or staff changes and invested in ongoing commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion?
Please email info@blackremoteshe.com to participate in a more detailed vetting process. Approved employers may be offered an initial partnership with a 6-12 month review period to determine continued partnership. However, if you are not approved, you will receive a list of recommendations with our partner organizations to help you along your journey of improving your work culture.
