Christopher Lee, the founder of Theo Jobs, identified a significant challenge in the job market, particularly for remote design jobs. As a design lead for a Series A startup, he spent considerable time and resources trying to maximize the visibility of job postings without incurring high costs. Six months later, he found himself on the other side of the spectrum, spending three to four hours daily searching for a remote job across various job boards. The lack of a centralized platform for remote design job postings was a significant problem, leading to inefficiencies and frustrations for both employers and job seekers.
