FlexJobs

What do you like best?

FlexJobs provides a gateway to the remote work world. While its advertisements generally focus on how it can be used to find remote employment, it is also a great source for developments and information for those who already work remotely.

What do you dislike?

In comparison to other job-seeking websites, FlexJobs is quite expensive. FlexJobs should also do more to advertise the features of their website that are beneficial for remote employees that are not actively seeking new opportunities (i.e. news about remote work).

Recommendations to others considering the product:

FlexJobs is a great tool for employers seeking to target potential applicants in the remote work sector. The candidates are serious and paying for the opportunity to see your available jobs.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

FlexJobs is beneficial to both an employee and employer. For the employee, it opens up a structured world for the remote work force. For the employer, it provides targeted job advertisements to serious candidates with an intent to work in a remote setting. As FlexJob charges its end users (the job seekers), employers have more assurance that candidates are serious, familiar with remote work, and likely more qualified than candidates from the larger, less targeted job-seeking websites.
