FlexJobs gave me hope that I could find meaningful employment even though I'd been out of the job search for several years.
Great but not able to find the specific job I am looking to find
Love it,
When I used it It was great... have not used and expensive to carry right now.
This is a legitimate job search site that helps narrow down job openings to people nationwide and worldwide. Highly recommended.
I've had more legit interviews and finally a job for remote work with FlexJobs help. I hit scammers for virtual positions on a variety of other sites, so I can honestly say this was the only one where the service was checked out. They provided weekly Zoom meetings and opportunities to improve your skills by taking skills tests.
If you are aspiring freelancer outside USA, then this is NOT the platform for you. I made a mistake of joining this platform. Most of the jobs are USA based and if you are out of USA, then stay away from this platform.
Still you have the compelling reason to join them, DON'T buy yearly subscription. Try them for a month first and then decide based on your success.
When I asked them to cancel the yearly subscription and refund, they accepted that most of the jobs are for USA residents only and denied to refund money.
Overall this platform was complete wastage of my time and money.
We spoke with this customer directly and issued a refund, per the Satisfaction Guarantee, so this review is not accurate, given all of our follow-up conversations. We wish them the best in their job search. The FlexJobs Team.
FINAL UPDATE: I did contact flexjobs for a refund to my subscription, which they agreed to. Just wasn't working for me.
UPDATE: So, it's been a month now. I've applied for a couple positions and the employers did send me the "sorry but you didn't get the job" email. I get that because you can't win them all. What surprised me was the sheer number of applicants. One employer told me more than 1000 people applied while another relayed that over 2000 people applied - for one job. What this tells me is that flexjobs is making money while its 'customers' have very little chance of landing a job given the sheer number of applicants for each posted position.
I joined a week ago. And yes, that really isn't enough time to gauge whether in the long run the site is worth it. But, initial indicators are negative. I've been contacted by one of flexjobs clients with an email made to appear as if the owner of the company was reaching out to me. When I replied, some CSR replied. Just gives the wrong impression. I've also been contacted by another client of flexjobs that pays a very low wage. So I guess if you want to work from home and earn very little money, this may be the site for you.
Hi, John. Thank you for your review, and we’re glad to hear that you’re getting contacted by employers! It sounds like you have a strong skill set, and therefore, yes, employers might try to reach out to you even though you might not be interested in their positions. Not a bad problem to have. Additionally, we do stand behind our satisfaction guarantee, so if you are still feeling that this is not the right fit, please reach out to discuss having that honored. The FlexJobs Team.
I was able to find the part-time, remote, flexible job I was looking for within a couple of months after being out of the workforce for 12 years. Thankful for FlexJobs!

It took time as I was transitioning to a new career path - but thanks to FlexJobs and their tremendous company - I have found my dream telecommute job!
Congratulations to you, Julie! We love hearing that you were able to secure your dream remote job by using FlexJobs. We wish you continued success and happiness in your new role! The FlexJobs Team
FlexJobs had a lot of great listings for jobs. I loved perusing through the different categories and I looked forward to the daily emails which highlighted new jobs that were a good fit for me. I highly recommend FlexJobs for anyone who is looking for a new job, especially if they want a more flexible, remote job.
Hi, Kelly! We are so happy to hear that using our site was a fun experience for you - that's not always a word people think of when looking for a new job. :) We appreciate your high recommendation and wish you continued success in your new endeavor — the FlexJobs Team.
I wrecked my car last year and had to find a source of income that did not involve transportation. After searching through the usual job searching sites and not coming up with much, I stumbled upon FlexJobs. I decided to try it out for a month, and I definitely have no regrets. I've found 3 jobs so far through FlexJobs! Amazing service, thank you guys so much!
Congratulations on your successful job search, especially after such a severe life-changing event, like losing your car. We are thrilled that our service allowed you to find the right type of flexibility and the perfect job for your skills and needs. We wish you much success in your new career! The FlexJobs Team!
Looking for a new remote work opportunity, I decided to give FlexJobs a try. What a brilliant site it is. I love the advanced search function.
I wasn't in a rush, so I did a fair amount of combing through posts over time looking for the ones I felt inspired to apply to. I applied to my first FlexJobs job ad and did not get a response from the employer. I applied to a second job ad, and I was hired. True story. Even I can hardly believe it. Granted, I knew it was the perfect position for me; I had extremely relevant education and experience; and I worked very hard on customizing and perfecting my resume, cover letter, and interviewing skills.
From the day I sent in my application (to the company that hired me) to the day I was hired, it was two weeks. Overall, I started work six weeks from the day I sent in my application (because this company in particular needed to delay my start date due to the schedules of the people who trained me).
I just passed the 90-day mark, and I have to say, I absolutely love my job and the people I work with. The only reason I might want to move on from this job is if I move internationally, since this company doesn't allow remote work outside the U.S. But if I do make an international move, without a doubt, I will start that search right back on FlexJobs.
Hello, Nico! Congratulations on your new remote work opportunity! The speed with which you turned around your subscription into a perfect job is inspiring. We love hearing that you are enjoying your situation and the people you work with - and should you move international - we'd love to help you find that right fit again. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about your experience with the service, and we wish you continued success in your current role.:-) The FlexJobs Team.
I am an introvert and I have social anxiety so working remotely works best for me. I love to be home with my animals. I have two dogs and a cat. I love to be able to walk them. Yes, the cat walks with us too! I am much more productive, responsible, and reliable working remotely. I have a much better quality of life and work / life balance. I have more time off and I make a lot more money now too!
Congratulations on finding the perfect job that allows you to be home with your animals, comfortable and productive. It is so essential to be able to find something that speaks not only to your strengths, but also your needs and desires for a great work/life balance. We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience using the FlexJobs service and wish you continued success with your new dream job. The FlexJobs Team.
By joining FlexJobs, I was able to find a 100% work from home position as a Marketing Manager in the US for a global tech company headquartered in Belgium. It has been a wonderful experience and the perfect match for my expertise. Without FlexJobs, there's no way I would have found this opportunity on my own. I highly recommend paying the minimal subscription cost if you are serious about finding legitimate flexible positions - many with benefits!
Congratulations on your new fully remote job, Natasha! We love hearing that using the service has been such a great experience. We wish you continued success and appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience.
FlexJobs does a great job of giving you a database of legitimate remote job listings. However, many of them have location requirements and the filter options don't do the best job of sorting through the listings. Great resource all in all, I did find a great remote job through them!
Hello, Concepcion! We are thrilled to hear that you were able to find a great remote job with your FlexJobs subscription. We are continually releasing new and better features, so we have passed this feedback along to our webmasters to continue to make FlexJobs a great, accessible resource for anyone looking for flexible work. We wish you great success with your new role! The FlexJobs Team
Answer: Hi, Donna. This is not our company, nor an email address for us, so we would recommend checking out our tips on how to avoid job scams to see if there are any red flags with that company, https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/category/find-job/avoiding-job-scams/
Answer: Hello Abhishek! Thank you for your question. The salary levels are something that a prospective employee would discuss with a hiring employer. However, we do have an article on how to negotiate telecommuting salaries here, https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/negotiate-salary-remote-job/ The FlexJobs Team.
Answer: FlexJobs is a subscription job search service designed to help people find legitimate, professional-level, pre-screened telecommuting and flexible jobs. The reason job seekers need to sign up for a membership and pay a fee is that we dont allow ads on our site, and employers post their jobs for free so that we can screen them and remove any scams/bogus business opportunities/junk that comes through. While employers are able to post their jobs wherever they see fit, employers using FlexJobs feel that our candidates are committed working professionals. Free job search sites dont have a pre-screening process for their job listings or companies, so job seekers are exposed to countless scams. By being a subscription service for job seekers, we show that were 100% committed to them, not to advertising or to job scammers. Weve been featured by CNN, the Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America, Forbes, and many other major media outlets http://www.flexjobs.com/PressReviews.aspx. Were a member of the Better Business Bureau, weve received the VeriSign Trust Seal, were certified by TRUSTe for online privacy protection, and were a Certified McAffee SECURE Site to prevent online threats. Were also the first and only job search site to receive an Online Trust Leadership Award for Excellence. Forbes named us one of the Top 75 Websites for Your Career. You can view all our awards and certifications here http://www.flexjobs.com/awards. In addition, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, no questions asked. If youre unsatisfied with our services for any reason, all you have to do is request a refund from our Client Services team. Its as simple as that. Please let me know if you have any other questions as you research us online! http://www.flexjobs.com/PressReviews.aspx

Answer: Hello Michael! We have a dedicated Client Services Team that is available here, https://www.flexjobs.com/contact who are available to assist with any account needs through phone, email or chat. The FlexJobs Team
Answer: Hello Mark I am concerned that you may be looking at another company with a similar name that states you will be doing offers for pay and requires a backup and certification. We are not the same company, and we have no association or affiliation with that company. For more information on copycat companies and their scams, please check out https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/copycat-scam-alert-myflexjob-is-not-flexjobs/ We wish you the best of luck in your job search! The FlexJobs Team
Answer: Hi Laquanna, You have FlexJobs.com mistaken for another site. On FlexJobs.com, we will never ask you to download mypcbackup. Please see the following blog for further information: https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/copycat-scam-alert-myflexjob-is-not-flexjobs/. The FlexJobs.com team
Answer: Thanks for your question. FlexJobs.com hand screens all companies before they can post jobs on FlexJobs.com.
