“Secured a 100% Work-from-home Marketing Manager Position”

NATASHA T.
4/12/19

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!

Flexjobs is a great site. I take my clients to this site frequently when they tell me they are interested in remote work. I give them a tour. I don't use it for myself other than that, so a subscription doesn't make sense. I always tell my clients that they can subscribe for a week, month or more.

I'd love an easier way to find freelance opportunities, or a way to find jobs that are both flexible and part time, the current search makes it so I often have search results matching one or the other but not both

Reason I chose this business:

As a video producer/content creator and mom of two boys, flexibility is what I need in my work. Appreciate it!

Love the info and job listings. It's a great resource. Unfortunately I can't continue to pay for a service if I don't ever get a job. Not their fault, but with so many options for job listings that are free, I am going to take a break from paying.

Flexjobs has tons of useful information to help with anyone's job search. The site is easy to navigate. They have done all the homework, now it's just up the job seekers to utilize their work. I give Flexjobs 2 thumbs up.

Reason I chose this business:

I researched how to search for a job without falling for scammers, and Flexjobs was in the top 3 of the results.

I've used you services and I do like it, I just wasn't using it enough to the full potential. I ended up getting a great opportunity elsewhere, but would still like to use this for some freelance gigs. :)

This is basically the equivalent of eharmony for job seekers. Your failure is their success.
The longer you stay looking for a job the more money they get. Ridiculously high fees for a service no better than Indeed or anything else.

Tip for consumers:
Don't

Products used:
None. It's useless

Real jobs, real employers, no games. Now that I am the one doing the hiring I can also tell you that I love it as an employer, too. It is a free (to employers), widely traveled job board that we are now using to find most of our employees.

A year later we are now a 100% virtual company and hiring ALL our employees through Flexjobs.com!

I was assured I would be getting a refund for a cancelled subscription. Never received the refund and I still have the email from Flex Jobs assuring me I would be getting a full refund. Very dissatisfied and poor/rude customer service.

We honored our refund policy on the same day the user contacted us. And while we do not have control over the speed at which a refund is processed, especially when a dispute is filed, we apologize if they did not receive it in a quick manner. The user has since confirmed they received the refund.

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.

I chatted in to ensure my membership would not renew since it recently ended. I have been going into my account for the past two days looking for a button to cancel my membership but nothing was showing. He canceled my membership quickly and efficiently and received a confirmation email right away of that cancellation.

Reason I chose this business:

I wanted a remote positions and I came a crossed Flexjobs when I was researching for remote positions.

I had a great experience as a FlexJobs user. It took a couple of months, but I used the service to find a really rewarding job working from home. In my experience, the fee was really worth it and they did what they promised -- weeded out all of the scams that are out there and provided legit, up-to-date jobs. I was especially happy that the jobs they matched me with met my education and experience levels. I would sign up again in a heartbeat if I was back in the job market.

Jobs outside the US are rare. I did secure one - and go through a lengthy process and the point of a contract being issued - only for the CEO to pull this because the company employs largely younger staff.

Better by far than LinkedIn ever thought about being! The freedom to have a profile or not is my choice, I love that the jobs are verified and can be reverified within a click, and that there is a reporting system when the job posting with the company is no longer available!

Reason I chose this business:

I had a trial before, I was not sold then but I am sold now.

I love FlexJobs! I have learned so much, and it helped me create a new resume and cover letter that have already received some interest. The webinars, articles, and job search tools have been so helpful, and there are more learning courses and self assessments than I could probably ever get through.

Reason I chose this business:

To help further improve my job search skills.

I like flexjobs because there are a wide assortment of jobs in many different locations. I only want to work remotely, even long before the Covid pandemic. I enjoy the professional tips that are provided. The most important reason that I have chose to stay with flexjobs is that I am less likely to encounter scam artists within your program.

Reason I chose this business:

I am over 60, and I am currently working 2 jobs. I want to work from home and maybe retire when I am 80 or so.:-)

FlexJobs is great! I found I never got a call on ANY of the jobs I applied for.

2020 was a very tough year for everyone, and even though I was qualified for the positions I applied for the job market was extremely saturated with folks out of work. After being unemployed for over I year, using up most of my savings, I found work through an alternative source.

If things go south in 2021, I'll be back. Thanks again for a wonderful service, that gave us all hope while weathering COVID! Cheers!

Great experience, there was a period where I could not log into Flexjobs (for about 2 weeks) I wrote CS but received no response. So that is the only constructive criticism I have. Eventually it was fixed automatically and I could log in again (it had something to do with logging in from South Africa)

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.

After searching on Flex Jobs for several months, I found the perfect job for my changing lifestyle (new stay-at-home mom). I was looking for a part-time work from home job. I've had the job for about 8 months now. Every time I looked for jobs on Flex Jobs there were new job postings. The jobs posted all seemed legitimate and professional. I would definitely recommend Flex Jobs to anyone looking for flexible job positions.

Flexjobs has a ton of volume but very often it's a lot of the same companies over and over with 10 or 20 jobs from the same company. It takes a lot of slogging through these to get to ones that I would be interested in.

Great opportunities listed. Real jobs! Great jobs! And I didn't start getting lots of junk email after joining, like you do after joining other sites. My only sadness is not having much time to peruse the opportunities because of the cost. But still some great opportunities.

Its been alright but the jobs that you look for me are not matching my level of experience and they are not remote like I asked for. Don't know what was wrong with the filters but I don't want to pay for the service any more.

Although I didn't find a job through FlexJobs (local contacts), Flexjobs really helped me understand the current job market and what employers are looking for. I highly recommend the platform and the training and support given. I felt supported in my search! That means a lot.

Reason I chose this business:

Wanted to cancel my account since I'm employed.

I loved Flexjobs. It took about 8 weeks or so to find a job. However, I found an easy part-time job I can do from home with a schedule I can do at my choosing. I am profoundly grateful that I was able to find the job I did and still be able to care for my infant, while also being able to contribute something to our finances. We are doing the Dave Ramsey plan and are on step 2 (paying off debt) and we are working hard to earn any side money we can! Cheers to Flexjobs for helping us reach our goals!

Business History

In 2007, FlexJobs founder and CEO - Sara Sutton - was looking for something better after losing her full-time job. She was already seven months pregnant with her first child and needed something that was going to be flexible but still help further her career. Sara knew these jobs existed but was overwhelmed trying to find them. That’s when the idea for FlexJobs came: A site where job seekers could find professional-level, legitimate work-from-home jobs, all in one place, without the ads, scams or junk found on other sites.
