FlexJobs - Remote Job Search 4+

Still takes work, but it’s a useful step

After signing up I was discouraged for a while, as I have very few qualifications and I hardly ever heard back, but with enough time and looking thoroughly enough I did find an at home freelancing position that pays more than my former waitressing job did all while being a lot more flexible and pleasant. Like with any job site you need to be careful and you need to put in the time to apply to as many of the positions you want as you can. And if you’re bilingual there are seemingly loads of positions for you in all sorts of languages. I’d definitely recommend looking into FlexJobs. I applied during a 50% off deal so if you wanna wait for another deal to be on that could be helpful too

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement to your fellow job seekers. Job searching is not fun, but we hope that we can at least offer support and services to help make it successful for our users. Congratulations!

Could be great but how would I ever find out

I paid for the week but found maybe one or two jobs that I could apply to. I also had issues with searching in the app itself. But I only know this after I already paid.
I get that you offer a better experience etc and you want to be compensated for that but I feel like you guys are trying to protect yourselves and make sure that you’re good instead of actually caring about your customers and helping them literally change their lives. There is no reason you cannot give a 24-48hr free trial. Or are we concerned that people will find and apply for a job within that time, delete that app and you won’t make money? What about $10 a month? Or whatever you want it to be. What about allowing people to look at jobs but pay a fee for each application? There are so many options that allow you to make money while also being realistic because I bet If the roles were reversed, many of you would probably be complaining about the same thing. All im saying is, If your app is as amazing as you say, then prove it. Allow people to experience what they are getting into. If it’s as good as you say, people will have no problem paying for a premium product. But people have to be able to decide that for themselves and not just cause it said so in the app description or review section.

Hello, and thank you for your feedback. We do understand that finding a job can be difficult, and that sometimes paying for an app just isn't worth it.

As stated, we are always happy to refund your money, no questions asked, as long as you are within the 14 day period of account creation or renewal.

Amazing

This review would have been a 5 star, however, the eskills assessment tests do not have all types of work from home positions to show your knowledge of that specific industry. Also, the most FRUSTRATING issue is when I 1st started using FlexJobs I had no issues taking the assessments and now the assessments are not updating as though I have completed them. These tests are long and I took the excel 2 times in one day, and again a few days later. I took 3 different tests and none have posted. When I contacted chat support I was told “the test is there if not take it again”. Seriously, I have already taken the test 3 times at about 40 minutes each why would I take the test again? Isn’t that the definition of insanity? Then I called support and because these tests are through a third party vendor they can’t help, just escalate the issue. Still no contact, invested days to weeks of studying, and about 40 minutes per test. This isn’t a free subscription which is why I’m canceling because I’m receiving the services being paid for nor am I getting help from support. Other than that it’s an absolutely fantastic site and worth paying the subscription in my opinion
