FlexJobs - Remote Job Search 4+

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!

I think maybe I’ve become too spoiled with all of the free trials that apps out there offer now a days… but I also very much appreciate those offers because my money is very important to me and my family’s lives and I can’t just blindly give any part of it to an app that I know pretty much nothing about snd then the only way they will allow me to learn more about it is if I pay upfront before ever seeing what they have to offer. Sorry at this time I will not do such a thing and there are plenty of apps in this same category that so offer free subscription trials so looks like I will look elsewhere for a service like this . Very disappointed as I probably would have ended up purchasing a subscription had I been able to see any part of what they offer but as soon as I opened up the app and signed up I was prompted to the “pay” screen and was unable to proceed until giving up my pmt information. Too bad. I’ll keep checking in every once in awhile to see if they ever offer any kind of trial … I mean even just a 24 hours or even just your first visit in the app free would have been enough to suffice .

Hello, and thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to improve, and we understand that our product isn't right for everyone. Though there are several free alternatives to our offering, we feel that the experience with FlexJobs is better than what you will find with other companies. First of all, all of our job posts are screened for authenticity by our dedicated team, that way we can be sure we are not connecting users to scams or "job posts" that actually just direct the user to an entirely different job board. We also offer many services with our membership that other sites do not, such as 1-on-1 coaching services, free webinars and job fairs, skills tests, and access to LinkedIn Learning courses just to name a few. Our app was actually designed as a companion to our site for our existing members; it does not offer all the features of the site, and we do not currently provide for using the app without a membership. If you are interested in seeing what FlexJobs has to offer, you can definitely check out our website. Either way, we wish you the best of luck in your job search.

First, I recommend that you go for the cheapest deal and immediately discontiue the auto payments, so that you can determine if they have the jobs for which you are qualified. They have a lot of jobs listed but they may not have the one you want.

I discovered immediately that their search engine is severely ineffective. I entered “engineer” and got zero results, yet when I did not filter the results I came across several jobs with engineer in the title. This forces you to look through hundreds of jobs that you have no interest in to find the few that you are.

Ultimately, I did not find what I wanted. Maybe that’s because I did not want to spend hours looking through all the jobs when I only wanted engineering jobs or maybe they don’t have the type of engineering job I want. Either way, I won’t be renewing my subscription. I threw away $10 but at least it wasn’t more.

Thank you for your feedback, we really do appreciate it. I'm sorry about your poor experience; it sounds as if there may have been an issue when your search results were returned, as I am definitely able to search for "engineer" and get many results.
