Why most remote jobs are closed to you
Almost every remote job ad limits where you may live, usually to one country, for payroll, tax and employment law. RoleSense reads that limit from each ad, so a job counts here only if its limit includes South Africa. Where an ad doesn't state a limit, we infer it from the posting's location, benefits or currency. How we count, country by country →
