FlexJobs - Remote Job Search 4+

Basic feature missing

I’ve been using the app/site for a few weeks now, and I have no complaints about the quality of positions, companies, quantity of jobs posted, etc. But one thing I can’t get over - why is there no ability to search for positions based on salary?! This is killing me. I signed up for this service because I was tired of wading through other sites for remote positions, but something Indeed has over FlexJobs is this: at least I can filter out jobs that I physically can’t take because they don’t pay enough. I’m mad I paid for a 3 month subscription without this basic criteria unavailable. Sigh.

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.

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
