These companies are hiring for the most flexible jobs

What’s a flexible job? It’s a professional-level job that has a telecommuting, flexible schedule, part-time or freelance component.

Although not all flexible jobs will let you work from home, many of them do. Employers in fields like sales, IT, medical, customer service and education are looking to fill these positions.

"Companies are competing in a tight labor market, and in order to attract and retain top talent, they need to better meet employees' expectations about what it means to have a fulfilling and healthy career—and at the top of that list is the desire for work flexibility," said Sara Sutton, founder and CEO of FlexJobs. "So we have seen and expect to continue seeing the flexible job marketplace diversify, as companies across all sizes and industries recognize it as a top perk for employees, as well bringing bottom-line benefits to them."

Read on to see the list of the top companies (excluding staffing agencies) that recruited the most flexible jobs since July 2017 on FlexJobs…

If you’re interested in working for any of the companies on this list, you may want to consider a short-term subscription to FlexJobs, which starts at $14.95 for a month.

Yes, the service costs a few bucks — but it filters out all of the scam job postings.
