Discover the Benefits of a FlexJobs Premium Membership | FlexJobs (2024)

We’re often asked why FlexJobs charges a fee to job seekers. After all, there are plenty of free job boards. Why should anyone pay to use FlexJobs?

While paying for a job is not advisable (hint: it’s usually a scam!), paying for a job search service like FlexJobs can help you save time, connect with legitimate employers offering remote and flexible jobs, and make your job search easier.

Of course, a job search service should provide real value for its fee. And this is where FlexJobs shines. Beyond the thousands upon thousands of hand-screened and fully vetted postings, FlexJobs provides members additional value beyond the job listings.

Here are some of the benefits of a FlexJobs subscription.

Hand-Screened Jobs

The number one thing your membership fee supports is our team of trained researchers. We believe there should be an easier, safer, and faster way to find flexible jobs without all of the ridiculous junk, ads, and scams.

Our researchers hand-screen every job we include in our database to ensure it’s legitimate, saving members valuable time and minimizing their exposure to job scams. Combined, the team spends over 100 hours every day looking for and vetting flexible and legitimate job opportunities for our members.

Free services don’t do this, and while they may have a larger selection of jobs, many of them are low-quality roles or outright scams. This means job seekers have to wade through tons of too-good-to-be-true opportunities.

FlexJobs members, however, get peace of mind knowing that our expert staff has verified every job posting.

Serving Job Seekers

At FlexJobs, we are 100% focused on our members and are completely dedicated to maintaining a job search site that is all about the job seeker—our primary clients.

Each of us at FlexJobs has been in your shoes, and each of us is dedicated to finding you the best opportunities out there that will fit into your busy life. Charging a fee allows us to serve the job seekers, rather than advertisers, and provide a level of service that is hard to beat and is founded on integrity, honesty, and respect.

A Better Job Search

Because we spend so much time vetting the jobs and companies on our site, we’re able to provide job seekers with a better job search experience.

A FlexJobs membership can speed up your job search. Instead of wading through all the different job boards and their questionable opportunities, FlexJobs does the hard work for you. When you find a job on FlexJobs, you can be sure it’s a real job and offers at least one type of flexibility.

A faster job search is an easier job search. Job seekers looking for any kind of flexible work only need to log into their FlexJobs account to find prescreened, legitimate, flexible job opportunities that are updated every day. Instead of visiting dozens of sites and seeing the same listings over and over, you can spend that time applying to only the jobs that have what you’re looking for.

50 Job Categories and Growing

Our list of more than 50 different job categories is always growing. Within those categories are subcategories to help you narrow your search even more, making it easier for you to connect with the right job. And with jobs ranging from entry-level to executive positions, there’s a flexible role for everyone at every stage of their career.

Clutter-Free Job Searching

Here’s what you won’t find on FlexJobs: Ads of any kind, pop-ups promising you’ll earn thousands of dollars, postings for business opportunities, or commission-only jobs.

We’ve gotten to know our members well over the years, and you’ve told us what sorts of jobs you want to see. We make it our mission to find those jobs and present them to you without causing you any headaches.

Supporting Your Job Search

In addition to an extensive database of jobs and companies, FlexJobs provides members with additional benefits to support them during their job search (and beyond!). Here are a few:

• An advanced search feature to help you sort jobs by type of flexibility, location, or job titles of interest
• More than 170 skills tests that can be taken unlimited times to showcase and improve career abilities
• Webinars with career experts and hiring managers to help you in your flexible job search
• Daily alert emails that match remote and flexible jobs related to your profile
• The option to be contacted and recruited directly by FlexJobs’ Featured Employers—vetted employers that partner directly with FlexJobs to post remote and flexible job openings and search member resume profiles to find great talent

Satisfaction Guarantee

Every FlexJobs membership comes with a satisfaction guarantee. It’s a pretty simple policy: if you’re not happy with your membership, let us know that you would like to cancel it and request a refund. This is definitely a simple thing any reputable, fee-based job board should offer.

Results

We continually hear from FlexJobs members who’ve gotten great results—namely jobs!—and we regularly share their job search success stories.

One refrain we’re happy to hear from successful FlexJobs members is that their membership to a fee-based job board has proven to be an excellent investment in themselves, their careers, and their quest for a better career-life fit.

Our Priority Is You

Being a paid service means FlexJobs has to be a stellar service to earn your money, and we’re committed to doing just that. At FlexJobs, we’re constantly examining what we do and how we do itbecause we’re committed to creating an exceptional experience for our most important clients: job seekers like you.
