FlexJobs Names 50 Virtual Companies Thriving on Remote Work

• A growing number of companies of all sizes and across industries operate in a fully virtual environment

A recent FlexJobs survey revealed that 58 percent of respondents prefer a fully remote job post-pandemic. However, 42 percent also report that their employer will require them to return to the office. To highlight the many different companies that do operate in a fully remote capacity, and to help connect job seekers to careers they can do entirely from home, FlexJobs has identified 50 virtual companies that are currently or have recently been hiring for fully remote jobs.

“The pandemic pushed many people to reconsider the relationship between their personal and professional lives, and it’s telling that now 44% know someone who has quit or is planning to quit because of in-person work requirements,” said Sara Sutton, Founder and CEO of FlexJobs. “We hope this expansive list of virtual companies helps connect job seekers to the types of remote job opportunities they’re pursuing, and showcases the many different types of companies that embrace remote work as their standard business practice,” Sutton concluded.

To support professionals throughout their job search journey, FlexJobs’ Career Coaching team offers the following key advice for navigating the current job market and landing a coveted, work-from-home position:

• Research and Identify Remote Opportunities

Evaluate whether a fully remote position is the right fit for personal and professional goals by reviewing these eight traits of a successful remote employee, and consider using this four-step system to identify potential new career opportunities.

• Be Persistent and Plan Accordingly

Having a good course of action and executing a consistent networking plan will help to maximize a candidate’s chances for success. Job seekers should spend time identifying the key tasks they need to do as a part of the job search, such as updating their resume or cover letter, enhancing their online presence, or doing additional upskilling, and then break them down into smaller, more manageable goals to accomplish each week.

• Tailor Every Application

Top remote candidates tailor their resumes and cover letters for every application. They also include details about previous remote experience throughout both, highlighting the specific skills that make a great remote worker, such as written and verbal communication, organization and productivity, and time and task management.

Additionally, the career coaches at FlexJobs have compiled creative tips for how remote employees can thrive in a virtual work environment:

• Establish a morning routine
• Work outside the house at least once or twice per week
• Designate a specific space and time to work
• Stay active while working
• Create an ergonomic workspace
• Use tech to collaborate with coworkers
• Take breaks and use them wisely
• Don’t neglect your professional development
• Consider relocating to a new city
