I signed up for FlexJobs on a whim after being a stay-at-home mom for more than 10 years. With my youngest children headed to school full time this year, I was looking for flexible or contract work I could do from home, earning real income, and that wouldn't interfere with my duties as my kids' primary caregiver when my husband is deployed. I was a member for about two months and applied for several jobs during that time. I was impressed with how often new jobs in my field were added, as well as the variety of full-time, part-time, and contract work positions listed on FlexJobs. I was ultimately offered and accepted a contract position with competitive pay, working for a great company. I highly recommend FlexJobs to anyone looking for any kind of alternative or telecommuting work.
Flex jobs helped me to find my dream job (I'm not kidding). I am able to sit in my gazebo and drink my morning tea, in my pajamas. It takes a certain kind of person to work from home. You have to be strict with your time and you have to be protective of when you are working and when you are relaxing. It actually is harder than you would imagine. But for some of us, creating a list of priorities in a day is no problem, and the stresses of being in an office environment are too great and cause poor quality of life. I would not trade being protective of my time for having to drive and get dressed for work. I take my job very seriously, even in my sweatpants.
Thank you Flex job for giving me quality of life again.
Unlike nearly every other world class job site, they don't have a 'smart resume parser ' that reads your resume and fills in such things as work history and tech skills.
I would have expected that having made me pay they would have invested in that kind of tool.
So use this site only if you're ready to spend 2-3 hours more in setup than any other site. You have to manually re-enter all your data to have it searchable in their format
I chatted with one of their customer service people and the bottom line from her was 'well clients search the tags you entered when you started up' They are pretty broad and way to limited for tech jobs.
It's nice if they force a client to read your resume instead of searching, but my guess is few do.
Instead, we offer our users the option to upload their resume upload instantly (if they already have one prepared, as it sounds like you do), and then to supplement their resume with fields in our resume profile process with key areas as you choose. These resume fields are quick easy-to-use drop downs, text fields and boxes which are easy to copy and paste the pre-written copy into should a user like to (rather than manually re-entering). While the time someone chooses to spend on their FlexJobs resume profile definitely will vary depending on each person and their career field, the average to do a complete profile in this way is about 30-45 minutes (although it can take as little as 5-10 minutes to do a more minimal profile).
Overall, the primary goal of FlexJobs is to provide an easier, safer, and more effective way to find quality, professional telecommuting, and flexible jobs. Also, as part of our membership, we offer many elements of our service that free job sites do not, such as expert skill testing in over 100 areas, member partner savings on products and services supporting a flexible work-life style, and attentive customer service.
Again, we have refunded your subscription per our Satisfaction Guarantee, and we wish you the best in your job search. If there is anything else we can do to help, please feel free to contact us at feedback@flexjobs.com or (866) 992-9222. Best regards,

I paid the fee for a yearly subscription. After numerous times adjusting my "Advanced Search" parameters I got the same results. The only jobs were telecommute in local areas outside of my state (Texas). The only decent jobs had application links on Indeed.com. I was more successful using Indeed.com and other services for free and spent more time with fewer results with Flexjobs.
When contacting Flexjobs for help, they offered no suggestions just a long explanation of what they do (which I already knew). I immediately asked for my money back.
Tip for consumers: Try other free sites first as Flexjobs job listings often redirect you to these sites for the application process anyway.
Thank you for your input, and per our offline follow-up exchange, we’re glad to know that your refund came through successfully and promptly. Also, while we did offer you some dedicated research and an additional complimentary month for us to see if we could better address your concerns, we understand that you have chosen not to take us up on these offers at this time. If you are ever willing to reconsider, please feel free to contact us.
We also have taken your feedback to the client support contact on our team who you initially interacted with, and--while they were relatively new--we are making sure that they have additional training to better address future questions and concerns.
We do know that every jobseeker’s experience is a unique one, and while we regret we weren’t able to be the best resource for you, we do absolutely wish you the best in your web design/design job search.
FlexJobs does not only provide job listings - they have a wealth of information about the job search process that I found invaluable after 6 years of being a stay at home mom. I now have a freelance position that meets my needs perfectly - a position I would never have learned about without flexjobs.
I've tried many different job boards to find freelance work. FlexJobs is the fist one that actually worked and didn't charge an arm and leg for their service. Wonderful site!
I was recently laid off by my past employer in March and immediately started searching for a new role. While doing internet searches for a telecommuting job as a Business Development Director, I found FlexJobs and decided to try it out. I paid for a month subscription and created two profiles for the type of work I hoped to find. At the time, I was also relying heavily on Indeed and LinkedIn searches for job leads. After creating my profiles on FlexJobs, I immediately received job suggestions (something FlexJobs sends out daily). The jobs and companies I found through the site were great - I applied to about a dozen or so awesome openings with good organizations in the first 2-3 weeks. FlexJobs quickly became my primary search tool versus the other sites. I interviewed with a half dozen companies that responded but narrowed that down to three "finalists" within a month. After several more interviews with those three companies, I had 2 job offers and actually had to pull myself out of a final interview in another state because I accepted one of the other offers.
I found FlexJobs to be an invaluable resource in my job search, particularly for telecommuting positions. It's easy to use, effective, and the search features yielded relevant job leads that interested me. I ended up paying about $40 for two months' subscription to the site and found an awesome position making thousands more per year with a company I am excited to join. Highly recommend this site!
For a pretty small fee I was able to sort through relevant positions and not have to worry about scams, wasting my time, or having my personal information stolen. I found the job I was looking for, and am happy in my new position.
I decided to use FlexJobs to figure out if my fast typing skills could possibly make me any extra cash through an online service. After subscribing to FlexJobs I found a job within less than a month!
I literally found, interviewed and got the first position I applied to on Flexjobs, so my results probably aren't typical, but it's a fantastic resource if you're looking for telecommuting jobs. Thoroughly impressed at how well vetted and accurate the posting were.
I had a great experience with Flexjobs. I've been looking for a part-time, flexible, telecommute job for a long time. I found what I wanted within a month of joining FlexJobs. The subscription price is worth it.
I was looking for work. Never knew that I could "really" work at home. That's exactly what I needed due to me having 2 children. Not only have I started working from home, but in the process I had to turn down 3 other jobs because I had already taken my current position, and it was all done in less than a month
Flexjobs.com is the best. It has daily inflow of jobs and I kept track daily to find what I was looking for. I have applied to a few jobs with them and all have turned out to be legitimate jobs (even if not all actually hired me). I have had positive experience with their customer service as well,clearing up a matter right away after I pointed out a job was actually not world-wide, but US based. I highly recommend this website as money well invested towards finding your dream remote job. I am currently in training with an employer I found through Flexjobs. I hope it works out! It has been a great experience so far.
If you're looking to make the transition from the office to working remotely, Flexjobs is a great resource. I was able to find a full-time telecommuting position in my career field. The monthly fee was worth paying and I also enjoyed the job search tips and blogs.
I was so pleased with the service that they provided. I found two jobs through Flexjobs! They provide a very efficient service and the messages are positive and motivational too.
I had a very positive experience with Flexjobs. I found a job that was flexible, remote and paid extremely well. The website provided verified and reputable jobs with no scams or gimmicks.
Great and easy platform for finding a remote job of my dreams. Now I have a great job and work from the comfort of my home office
A year ago, I found exactly what I was looking for (a 100% telecommuting position) through FlexJobs and I love it even more a year into the job. FlexJobs is a fantastic service.
FlexJobs.com is a legitimate website that posts flexible/remote jobs; it is not a scam. But do not expect great customer service if you call to speak to someone or utilize their chat box. I am speaking from experience. FlexJobs is not free. Customers have to pay and I think it is outrageous to charge people for a service and then be so unhelpful when customers have questions. There are other career websites that post flexible/remote jobs that are FREE and provide outstanding customer service. FlexJobs will have to re-train their staff and say to their staff "we are charging people and therefore need to provide EXCELLENT customer service." I wish I had known about the free career websites before I paid FlexJobs money. I am so disappointed. I do not recommend FlexJobs.
Tip for consumers: When you call Customer Service at FlexJobs (or if you utilize their chat box), their customer service representatives are not rude or short with people, but they are not helpful. When people are looking for jobs and they ARE paying for the service, I would expect their customer service representatives to be EXTREMELY helpful. I recommend Indeed.com. There is no cost to you and they also will send you emails weekly with a listing of the types of jobs you are looking for.
We do want to address the concerns that are posted in this comment about FlexJobs. We take your concerns with our customer service very seriously. We reviewed both contact points where the question was being asked. "What am I doing wrong to no to be hearing back from employers?"
We disagree that you received horrible customer service from either contact.
Unfortunately, the request was based on having us answer a question that we do not have the information to answer accurately. Both times a contact was made our client service specialists gave information on how to follow-up with employers and to consult the area of our site where this information is published from career counselors. Neither interaction was rude, short, or unhelpful and included trying our best to give information from the outside sources we recommend using to continue to assist her needs.
Day 1: I hear about FlexJobs, research, it seems legit
Day 2: I see a job posting that I like, apply
Day 36: Fly down for an interview for a flexible, work from home position
Day 50: Accept the offer, woo hoo!
Day 339: Still there & loving it - never would've found it without FlexJobs
Finding a fully remote job was hard with all the scam-y sites out there, but FlexJobs was a very well organized and useful site with quality, legitimate jobs posted. I was glad I spent the money to sign up - I start my new remote job on Monday!
Found my job via flex jobs - it's a relevant simple high quality job search engine. No spam emails and excellent interface
Easily to search, easily to find a remote job even for career beginners.
No scams and very well constructed website.
A good friend of mine had joined Flexjobs and landed herself an excellent work from home job. She told me about Flexjobs and I am so happy I joined because I found the greatest work from home job. The site is so easy to use and completely legitamate. I have referred the site to many friends and family members already.
I have found a good job each time I have become a member within a month's time. Knowing you can trust that all of their job openings are completely legitimate gives you more time to focus directly on the jobs you wish to apply for, as well as all the wealth of pertinent and very helpful information they have to offer, as well as great Webinars with actual companies that hire for flexible positions, including telecommute, remote, freelance, alternative, work from home, however you understand it or whatever you want to call it, there are a lot of advantages to working from home, and FlexJobs covers everything you need to be successful at it.
