If you’ve been checking us out, you might be wondering, “How does FlexJobs work?” Well, we’re happy to tell you. And we’re delighted to help you learn how we can help you in your job search!
Who We Are
FlexJobs started in 2007 as a solution to a problem that our founder, Sara Sutton, was having—a problem she suspected millions of others were also likely experiencing. She wanted a better way to find a job that allowed her more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5 job.
In 1995, Sara started the first online job site for entry-level jobs (sold to Korn Ferry in 2001), making her uniquely qualified to tackle this particular problem.
Today, FlexJobs is the hands-down leader specializing in the remote and flexible job search market! But you don’t have to take our word for it. We’re included in hundreds of leading media pieces as a trusted resource.
You can also browse our substantial success stories section, learn about the awards and reviews we’ve received on our Team page, and read about how we are a remote and flexible team ourselves!
Our team works incredibly hard to provide the best job search service and resources for people looking for remote and flexible opportunities. We’ve helped over 11.4 million job seekers connect with over 57,000 jobs listed in more than 50 different job categories in our database with over 60,000 employers.
How FlexJobs Works
FlexJobs is different than most job sites in a few ways.
1. Our Jobs
The jobs on FlexJobs are all thoroughly screened by our expert research team to make sure they have three things in common:
- At least one kind of flexible work option is offered, whether it be remote work, freelance, part-time, or a flexible schedule
- A professionally-oriented, career path-type opportunity
- Each and every job and company is vetted to make sure they are legitimate (AKA, not shady or scammy, which is especially critical in the work-from-home job market)
2. Our Job Seeker Resources
Along with job listings, FlexJobs provides many additional resources to our members. These resources are intended to support your job search, as well as related areas of your career and life. For example, FlexJobs members have access to:
- Skills tests: Whether it’s computer skills or remote work skills, showcase your talent to potential employers and put yourself ahead of the pack.
- Job search and career articles that cover job searching, career advice, remote work, industry trends, and much more.
- Video courses and downloadable guides to help you advance your skill set and make you a better remote worker.
- Member perks: Members can take advantage of savings from our variety of partners, which range from travel and leisure to career advancement services.
3. Our Membership
FlexJobs is also different from most other job sites in that, while we offer a significant amount of information for free, full access to our entire jobs database and job seeker resources is only for subscribers. This enables us to focus on job seekers—YOU!—as our primary client (rather than advertisers or employers) and help you find a flexible job faster, easier, and safer!
Each subscription comes with a satisfaction guarantee—if you’re not satisfied, simply request a refund within 30 days!
We know that this is not the norm. But we also know that we’ve been doing this since 2007, and there’s a reason we are the leader: we help people find remote and flexible jobs better than anyone else!
