> If they specifically state they look for people in EU timezones they'll receive anyway 100+ CVs from India or other countries.
If they state EU _timezone_ and they receive applications from India which is *ahead* by 3.30H or Nigeria which is in about the same timezone, I don't see what the problem is.
If they want only people from Europe, they should just say so.

India is not EU timezone. Nigeria is probably fine, but the guy I talked too was specifically referring to India.

Maybe some of those applicants have been willing to move to said timezone?

India is 5.30 from UTC.
I don't why someone in India would have difficulty starting at 11am.
It's understandable if it's the other way around: Someone in the US starting at 4am
As employee and/or employer I would go for more local/vertical websites/newsletters. There's no community such as StackOverflow outside of it, so you have to narrow down your scope somehow. Posting on LinkedIn is a mess. I've talked with many people looking for devs and they pay a lot of money for a lot of low-quality applications, it's even worse for remote companies: If they specifically state they look for people in EU timezones they'll receive anyway 100+ CVs from India or other countries.
So, LinkedIn is a mess, general job posting websites miss all the stuff a developer/company hiring developers needs, I love HN jobs but it's too much of a niche, remoteok or similar are too broad in scope.
There's space to build stuff and make some money if you play well your game.
Shameless plug: I recently launched one newsletter for remote-friendly companies hiring Italian developers that already reached ~900 subscribers and I already received requests for sponsorships. So there's interest in these kind of stuff.
