FlexJobs is a remote and flexible job board that helps people find legitimate work opportunities. The site lists remote, hybrid, part time, full time, freelance, temporary, and flexible schedule jobs across more than 50 career categories.
Unlike many free job boards, FlexJobs charges job seekers for full access to its listings. The reason is that its team reviews each job before publishing it, intending to remove scams, junk listings, commission only roles, and other poor quality opportunities.
You can search by job type, career field, experience level, schedule, and other filters. Once you find a suitable position, FlexJobs sends you to the employer or application site to apply. FlexJobs does not hire you or handle your pay.
The site covers a wide range of work, including writing, customer service, virtual assistance, marketing, accounting, education, design, technology, and many other fields. There are also entry level roles, although many listings still ask for some experience.
FlexJobs also provides job search tools, company research, career guides, webinars, courses, and application tools. Paid members can use features such as ExpertApply, which helps fill out job applications using information from their profile and resume.
The main issue for beginners is the subscription cost. Current plans start at $2.95 for 14 days, then renew at $23.95 every four weeks unless cancelled. Longer plans cost $29.85 for three months or $71.40 for one year. FlexJobs offers a 14 day money back guarantee.
That cost makes FlexJobs different from free sites such as Indeed or LinkedIn. You are paying for a screened job database rather than paying to apply for a particular job.
FlexJobs has served more than 10 million job seekers and currently lists hundreds of thousands of verified remote and flexible opportunities. Its Trustpilot profile has a 4.1 out of 5 score from more than 7,400 reviews, giving it a fairly strong overall user rating.
Pay
