Using the postings supplied on FlexJobs, I landed two 100% telecommute contract offers within 3 weeks, which was even more than I hoped for when I decided to give the site a try! I can be both stingy and skeptical, but I recommend FlexJobs to people all of the time!
I relied on FlexJobs when I was unemployed to find a new job. I was hoping to work from home so I could stop commuting every day. I found two part-time positions through FlexJobs that I was working. I also found a connection to a company that ended up being the full-time job I started recently. I've stopped one of the part-time jobs and am working with the other one on Saturdays until the current project is finished.
Hello Aaron! Congratulations on your successful job searching using FlexJobs.com. How awesome that you were able to find three different jobs that fit your flexibility needs and eliminate your commute! We wish you all the best in your new positions! The FlexJobs Team
So far, every job I've applied for using Flexjobs has acknowledged my receipt of my application and I've had a few job offers. I'm still discussing those opportunities with the potential employers, but I anticipate making the decision soon. I have only been using their site since for a few weeks and it is wonderful. I have already recommended them to several people.
Hi Jen, We are so happy that you found success using FlexJobs.com! It's great to hear that employers were responsive and you had many options that match the type of flexiblity you are looking for in your career. We wish you the best in your new position. The FlexJobs team
I used to work at an investment bank--long hours and lots of traveling. When I got pregnant, I knew that I had to find something different. I wanted a career, but I now value flexibility above all else. That's when I started looking for a more flexible job. FlexJobs made it easy for me to browse opportunities and apply easily. I liked that FlexJobs listed the opportunities, gave detailed information, but I could apply directly to the job itself, rather than filling out some third-party applications. I also liked that I could easily search and save opportunities that I was interested in. The daily email blast was also helpful. I love that my current position has flexible hours and I can work from home!

FlexJobs is awesome if you are looking for a telecommute position. They post a large range of jobs, and all it takes is some patience. I have been applying for several positions for the past six months, and I finally got two freelance telecommute positions. I am very happy with the outcome, as these two jobs complement my income from my full time job very nicely. I also like the idea of being able to work from anywhere. I highly recommend FlexJobs to anyone.

Somebody on this site needs to seriously look into this company.
I have spent the last year... YES, I said year on flexjobs. I have applied for a few hundred jobs. Every single one I was able to contact the company posting the job at some point. And every single one said they either didn't even know they were posted flexjobs or that the job posted was weeks and even months old.
The whole point to paying this site is that they are supposed to clearing or making sure the jobs were legitimate and up to date for you. Clearly they are not... or who ever should be over there should be fired.
At least half of the so-called-positive reviews here appear on other sites exactly, and I do mean word for word as they do here. Which leads me to believe there is a marketing firm or PR firm that is just posting positive reviews for them to offset honest reviews like mine.
You have better chance of winning the lottery than you do finding a job on their site.
I had a wonderful experience with FlexJobs. I was tired of working 70+ hours a week and missing out on time with my family, so I started researching remote positions and came across FlexJobs. It was an excellent, streamlined way for me to narrow my search to exactly what I wanted (I was a little picky because I wanted to work remotely and have flexible hours and didn't want to do sales). After about 3 months (again, I was picky and could have probably found a job faster otherwise) I was hired for an amazing position, working from home with a company located on the other side of the globe with some amazing people. I love my job now, have time for my family and can even pursue my hobbies now as well!

I was in need of a part time at home job with flexibility to work around establishing a business in the medical field. My medical job schedule was sometimes unknown hour to hour and the jobs I found on Flexjobs are perfect to fit anywhere in the day and allow me to work from home and focus on my new business. Excellent service.

I was searching for a remote job as an IT consultant because I have to live in rural Virginia for family reasons. I signed up for FlexJobs and set up a job search. I received daily emails with relevant job openings. I ultimately found an exciting new job that matches my skills. I would never have found the job opening without FlexJobs. I definitely recommend FlexJobs to anyone who is looking for remote and/or flexible work.
Hello Phillip! We are so happy to hear that you had such a great experience finding jobs through FlexJobs!

We are so happy to hear that you found multiple listings that worked well for your work-life balance and you were so successful! We wish you the best in your new job! The FlexJobs Team
I am a remote graduate student and mother of five young children and have sought remote work for the last 4 years. Flexjobs.com is absolutely the only site that I could find that offered a comprehensive (and I mean REALLY THOROUGH) list of remote jobs in every possible industry that are fully vetted. No scams whatsoever! The moment a job posting is gone I just clicked a button to let the Flexjobs team know and they were on it to take it down.
I was actually able to find multiple jobs on Flexjobs, including my current full-time, salaried (with benefits) position at a successful publishing company.
Flexible work options are an absolute necessity in our current society where rent costs less than childcare and Flexjobs seriously understands this.

My experience with FJ was a bit tedious at the start, but if you are a serious job seeker - a small hurdle to help you find what you're looking for.
We are so happy to hear that FlexJobs.com worked well for you and that you found it helpful in your job search! We certainly encourage anyone with questions to check out our blog https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/ or you can also contact our Client Services team. We wish you the best!
I signed up for FlexJobs and was hired within the first 45 days. Amazing.
Hi Freda, We are so happy that you found success using FlexJobs.com! We wish you the best in your new position. The FlexJobs team
This is the 2nd review I have had the pleasure to write about flexjobs.com. The first, one day after creating my profile I found a part-time telecommute position doing exactly what I love - reviewing legal documents. Last Friday, I submitted my resume to a company in Dallas to do the same thing - reviewing legal documents. I received a response requesting a phone interview on the coming Monday. I had two phone interviews Monday and received a job offer Tuesday morning! That's not even the best part! It is 100% tele-commute, great pay, great benefits and the company has great reviews! Thank you AGAIN flexjobs!
Hi Michelle, We couldn't agree more! There really is a whole new world of jobs, that have flexibility! So happy to hear that you were able to find a job that offers the benefit of telecommuting. We wish you the best, The FlexJobs team
Flex jobs was a painless experience compared to my recent experiences looking for a traditional 9-5 job. Flex jobs made the experience enjoyable because they tailored the job alerts to the type of work and hours I was looking for. I'm currently working to increase my freelance writing experience in hopes of one day making it my full-time job. Flex jobs has been extremely helpful in making that path easier by providing tips on improving my resume for freelance positions.
Hello Taryn, We appreciate your review and are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience using FlexJobs.com! We wish you the best as you increase your freelance writing experience! The FlexJobs team
I joined Flexjobs.com not long back in search of a legitimate job that I could do from home and after about five months or so I found one. I started my new job with Sutherland Global Services back in April and I absolutely love it! I couldn't be happer. Thanks so much Flexjobs!
Thanks for your review and for letting us know that you found a job that you love! Wishing you the best in your new job! The FlexJobs team
Wonderful site. Found legitimate work-from-home job. Had great tools and resources to help with my search. Only took a month in my case. Will most liekly continue to use service in future.
Thank you for letting us know that you found a job using FlexJobs.com! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! The FlexJobs Team
This site appears to be a well designed, legitimate job site. Unfortunately, from the responses I received (none), I question its legitimacy.**Note: I received extensive correspondence from the FJ staff asking me to not question its' legitimacy, but after 5 months of service, and not a single reply, I still do. It IS, however, risk free to try the service, as the company WILL refund you if you are dissatisfied and contact them.** It's (still) my suspicion that FJ is a space for by-law required external HR posts where the positions are already filled by internal promotions or existing employees. My experience with FJ: I have 8 years of experience in digital marketing at a Director level, and couldn't even get an interview or consideration for the most entry level positions (which I tested applying to - after applying to many roles in my experience tier and receiving zero responses). I tried FlexJobs on 4 different occasions (4 months of paid subscription), and never received a single nod or interview for ANY position. Amazing.
**Follow up: Flexjobs reached out to me with good customer service and refunded my paid months. They also gave me a free month of subscription. Sadly, my experience is exactly the same. Still would not recommend, as it is a time drainer filling out the fruitless applications.
**Update 3: I honestly felt slightly threatened by the company "We take this kind of criticism to heart...", so gave it one more star. My ONE STAR rating remains, based on the RESULTS of their service. An added star for refunding my money.
Dear Roxi,
We genuinely tried to provide the best customer service to you that we could, and apologize if you felt we did not do that. As we said, we're sorry that our service wasn't a fit for you. We really wish it was. It is in these cases why we offer a satisfaction guarantee and willingly refund a users’ subscription fee... We want people who try our site to feel that they were treated fairly and with respect, and were not taken advantage of in any way.
We wish you the best in your search.
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 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.

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. We confirm that they are legitimate employers and that the jobs they post will include some type of flexibility. This can be telecommuting (working from home), part-time, freelance or jobs that offer a flexible schedule. We offer 3 subscription options: $14.95/month, $29.95/3 months or $49.95/year. Once you have a paid subscription, you can create a profile, upload your resume to the site and search/apply for jobs.

Answer: Hi, Thanks for your question. You can easily cancel your account at anytime. You would click on your name in the upper right, then click on Account Settings, then on Subscription.
