Overall Rating: 4.7 / 5 (Excellent)

FlexJob distinguishes itself from other job search sites by focusing exclusively on jobs for employees seeking flexible career opportunities. If you prefer to work from home all or some of the time, travel frequently, need to set your own schedule, or work part-time, FlexJob might the ideal resource for finding a position that meets your needs.

Job seekers can search for jobs by location, industry, sub-specialty, or keyword with FlexJobs. The company also curates a list of "surprising jobs" that may open jobseekers' eyes to new, flexible opportunities they may never have considered.

With the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, FlexJob's unique focus may serve a growing segment of the population.

FlexJobs Website Features

Ease of Navigation - 5 / 5

With FlexJobs, you can use either wide search parametersor their Advanced Search feature to customize results by many different factors. Want to work for one of the top companies for Latina workers? You can narrow your search to only those opportunities. Want to consider fully-remote job exclusively? Check. Interested in a company that made the Forbes 100 list? You can limit your search that way, too.

We were also impressed by FlexJob's straightforward website. It offers jobseekers clear pricing information, plenty of educational resources, and information about add-on services that complement your subscription. These services include help on writing a strong resume and individual career counseling.

FlexJobs Notifications

Job Alerts - 4.5 / 5

FlexJob provides email alerts as new jobs that meet your criteria are added to their database. There is no set schedule for these alerts. The company culls its site daily and removes jobs that have been filled so the alerts they do send are up-to-date and actionable.

Notification Relevance
FlexJobs allows you to customize your search very narrowly, which suggests a high level of relevance in jobs returned. While the company has many positive reviews on TrustPilot and the BBB website, one or two complaints we saw had mentioned that job recommendations were not pertinent to the jobseeker's qualifications.

FlexJobs Customer Experience

Additional Services - 4.8 / 5

FlexJobs screens available jobs carefully to present jobseekers with legitimate, lucrative, career-oriented opportunities. They exclude many jobs from their site because they don't meet critical criteria. For example, the company does not list jobs that are not immediately available. They do not list jobs that only pay on a commission basis, require unpaid training, or depend on employees making any kind of investment. They do not post freelance opportunities that require workers to bid on a job. They also exclude jobs that do not meet their salary requirements.

FlexJobs offers individual career counseling and resume writing assistance for an additional fee.

I agree since its a job platform unless we ask for a service ....like help with our resume why are we being asked to pay a fee? Most of us are more then likely unemployed. So a weekly fee is unattainable.

How much were you paid to choose the sites you chose? I mean someone is looking for a job and they have to pay to search for it?
