We're looking to hire a new remote developer. Because we're located in Canada, hiring a Canadian developer makes sense for various financial and regulatory reasons. Beyond that though, we're happy to hire from anywhere in the country, as our team is 100% remote. The question is, where to post the job? There are a number of great looking Remote-focused job sites out there now, like weworkremotely.com and remoteok.io, but they tend to be focused on a US audience. They may still be worthwhile, but I'm hoping to hear from some actual people to know which job sites appeal most to actual remote developers, especially Canadians.
So far we've posted on Indeed, but I'm happy to pay for job postings if they get us access to good devs.
A few of the boards you can use are (some you already mentioned):
- https://remoteok.io/ - https://remotebase.io/ - https://oldgeekjobs.com/
You can also use technology focused boards in some cases, both the Python and Go communities have job boards for example. Which you could post that it's remote for Canadians.

The other big thing to look into is tax credits and economic incentives for Canadian companies.
