“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!

Great service, really well put together. You can definitely tell that the people behind FlexJobs actually care about doing a good job, and that translates into all aspects of this online job search platform.

Flexjobs does a nice job filtering out jobs that are really remote. Though sometimes that gets muddied with "flexible" and "remote during Covid". I didn't use much of the support articles, but might have if my last employer didn't provide an outplacement service for me.

When I first came across Flex jobs their website seemed promising, and helpful. I looked around the site to determine if it was something I was interested in and upon further review and investigation decided to try it out for 1 week for 3$. I normally don't do this as there is always a catch, but I did not find anything stating that I would be further charged for using the website after 1 week unless I paid another fee of 3$. After 1 week I was charged 24$ and after looking through the website again and at forums I did not see anywhere that a reoccurring chare would occur unless I authorized after 1 week. I did not authorize the charge and promptly cancelled my membership. The language they use is very sneaky and misleading even to those who do look and make sure this doesn't happen. Would rate 0 stars if possible.

Tip for consumers:
The site is misleading and fraudulent.

Products used:
I ended up buying a 1 week trial with option to purchase full benifets later.

Great having no scams and all legit jobs. However, some listings being unclear in their wording made the searches pull up jobs from other regions etc or that needed quals I didn't have, so there was still a lot of filtering to do.

Please have option to remove jobs from particular locations (checkbox)
I was getting US only job posts a lot and being located in Asia, that will be something I won't be eligible automatically. Its pointless to even list out when I can't apply to these location tied remote works.
Other than that I've had positive experience.
Thank you

You List many jobs and they all look legitimate, but Ihave only found a few that match my needs. I am sure this will improve steadily, because it is a workers' market now, but I have run out of money, as I got no government help. So I have to cut back on everything, including meat.

Reason I chose this business:

I check Flexjobs whenever an email shows possibilities.

Very good website. Being from Canada, many jobs did not work for me as they were looking for US residents. I was mostly only able to apply for jobs which were looking for worldwide submissions. Please consider extending your job market to Canada. There are many Canadians desperate for online and remote work in our country.

Reason I chose this business:

Recommended online.

FlexJobs helped me update my resume, cover letter, seek jobs in industries across USA, and provided education through free articles and webinars. Thank you for your excellent platform and offerings :)

Reason I chose this business:

I heard about FlexJobs on YouTube from Judd Albring. He mentions you have good paid job opportunities and good platform. He was right :) Thank you!

I regret signing up for FlexJobs. I believe that it is a scam free site but the job postings are too specific (not mainstream). Applying and sending my resume has been a big waste of time, nothing ever comes of it. Another thing, my login information stopped working so I couldn't get back on the site. Despite my persistence in contacting them, no one has gotten back to me. Don't waste your hard earned money on this... it's nonsense.

Dear Linda, I'm sorry if your experience on FlexJobs wasn't what you hoped for. We have over 15,000 jobs in 50+ career categories, ranging from entry-level to executive, freelance to full-time, so I'm a bit confused by what you been by "too specific" (http://www.flexjobs.com/jobs). We have 3 main criteria for a job to be listed on our site: (1) it has to be legitimate, (2) it has to offer some kind of flexible work option (telecommuting, freelance, or a part-time, flexible, or alternative schedule), and (3) it has to be professional and career-oriented.

Nonetheless, I'm sorry if our service wasn't a fit for what you were looking for, and please know that we offer a satisfaction guarantee... simply request a refund. We want people who use our site to feel satisfied with their experience, no matter what (http://www.flexjobs.com/Pricing.aspx) Best regards.

I used Flexjobs for 2 months and did not find a job in that time. I applied for a few positions here and interviewed for two. I appreciated that the Flexjobs staff had done the "leg work" in making sure they were REAL jobs, not work-at-home scams. One thing Flexjobs cannot control is companies that take forever (over a month!) to get back to applicants, some that never reply to applications, or those that add requirements after you've applied.

LOTS of the jobs listed here, require that you be located in their city. Even some of the telecommute jobs still want their employees located nearby.

I gave this site 4 stars instead of 5 because I was required sifting thru many jobs outside my area of specialization. Also, their weekly email updates would sometimes send me jobs I'd already applied for - or jobs that I'd found were no longer available & had alerted them about.

I have enjoyed the webinars with their valuable information about job hunting, writing a resume, preparing for an interview, cover letters, and applicant tracking systems. You have a wide variety of jobs. Unfortunately, I did not see anything during my subscription period that appealed to me except for one job which was pulled a few days after it was posted. I would like to see FlexJobs offer internships as those can be so valuable in landing a permanent job. Please consider doing that. Thank you.

I like FlexJobs and the convenience they provide, but I haven't found success with their leads yet. So far, many of them have been pretty general leads that could also be found by Googling or going to Indeed.com

Actually a good value for the trial at around 12 dollars per month. I would not be willing to pay more for this service due to age discrimination (obvious) or without adding more soft/hard curent tech skills.

I found a flexible, great-paying job on FlexJobs.com. It's a real, legitimate way to find work, especially if you want a remote/at-home position. I've been an at-home mom for 16 years, and the thought of going back to a traditional job was not something I wanted to do. Now, I work from my home, choose my own hours, and make good money all while still being able to pick up my kids from school, keep up on housework, and run errands when I need to. There's a money-back guarentee with FlexJobs, so just give it a try!

Need to list salaries on all job applications. Should be a requirement for any employer/contractor. Because if I'm gonna spend 30min-hour applying to their company? I need to at least know from the beginning what type of monetary compensation they are offering. Because if I find out it's not enough only AFTER I apply? I've now wasted hours of my time applying to jobs that don't meet my salary requirements.

Reason I chose this business:

Was recommended by a friend

Learned quite a bit by using FlexJobs; really appreciated the articles which were vastly helpful in framing my resume and cover letter. Hadn't done those in decades! Genuinely needed those details for re-entry in this century...

Reason I chose this business:

Originally looking for remote work or flex work.

I was extremely skeptical about Flexjobs, not going to lie. On a different website (Indeed) I had 0 offers with over 100 applications applied and out of those applications only 1 interview within 3 months. Literally in the first month I was interviewed by 2 different companies and had only submitted around 20 applications. 1 of those companies offered me a position I happily accepted.

Reason I chose this business:

It offered a subscription which I believe is a big way to show not only those looking for jobs but also employers on this website that we are all serious about getting work and finding employees.

Flexjob is the only website that I'm aware of that specializes in remote/virtual work assignments.

I am a Sales Director who has managed teams both remotely as well as in an office setting, and the abundance of jobs that Flexjobs advertises makes it easy to peruse lots of different companies all in one place.

It's not all about hunting for jobs, either. I ended getting my current job from posting my resume on Flexjobs. My current employer reached out to me after seeing my resume and 2 weeks later I was offered the position.

Flexjobs is a great resource is you are looking for remote or virtual jobs and I highly recommend it to everyone who searching for their next job.

I had just transitioned from a full time, traditional job to a work-at-home situation, and needed a dependable resource for job listings. I subscribed to FlexJobs, had interviews within two weeks and was hired for an online writing position. I have been working with that company for more than three years now, and enjoy every minute of it. FlexJobs was easy to use, updated its listings regularly, and the companies listed replied to applications and queries. You can target your searches, check your skills, and get good, solid job search advice. It was the best money I ever spent on a job search, and I recommend FlexJobs for anyone looking to take control of their work, time, and career.

This is not my first subscription. My situation has become dire. A FLEXIBLE job can mean different things to different people. Full-time, part-time, remote, semi-retired, or retired. I paused my account because I wasn't using it. I stopped receiving emails, and forgot about. I rely on LinkedIn and Indeed. This a great resource for someone easing back into the workforce. The user interface could be easier. I appreciate the seven free days to reconsider.

There have been a decent amount of jobs and hiring managers that have reached out to me, however, I have decided my next step is to go back to graduate school. Henceforth, I will be postponing my job search for now.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose flex jobs because of the amount of remote jobs you can find without worrying whether or not the job is sketchy.

I have been SO pleased with my journey to find the perfect part-time remote job through FlexJobs.com. Their integrity to post legitimate jobs for job-seekers like myself blew me away and allowed me to find the perfect part-time, 100% remote customer service job that has allowed me to work in a field I enjoy but also to take care of the people I love. Thank you, FlexJobs!

I had a good experience researching all the Remote Jobs on the platform. I was not able to secure a role through Flexjobs, but the service is valuable for research and applying for available positions. I did not experience any fraud or fake job postings which was a great time saver and offered security and piece of mind.

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.
