Review:

FlexJobs attracts remote working professionals from over 60 job categories, be they part-time, freelance, or flexible. Beyond recruiting, they offer employer branding, consulting, and leadership services. While FlexJobs does not attract major traffic volumes from Australia, local employers can use the site to source internationally-based remote workers.

While the starting price is steep compared to competitors such as Working Nomads, FlexJobs offers better value as all plans include unlimited postings and access to a resume database. However, with no local offices or customer support channels, Australian employers can expect delayed responses from FelxJobs'customer service team.

Pros:

  • Employers can specify whether they are looking for remote workers who are locally based.
  • All membership plans include unlimited job listings and resume searches.
  • Employers can submit job feeds from more than 20 of the biggest applicant tracking systems (ATSs).
  • Members have access to a customized, branded employer profile with blog posts, testimonials, and more.
  • Subscription plans include activity and data reporting for better analytics.
  • All plans include dedicated account support.

Cons:

  • Pricing is not available in Australian dollars.
  • The site no longer offers is basic service for free.
  • Vetted membership requests ensure that job listings are legitimate but also increase the barrier to entry for employers.
  • FlexJobs does not offer local customer support channels, which may affect response times.

Reputation:

On Trustpilot, FlexJobs has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars based on more than 800 reviews, with many users citing FlexJobs' deep talent pool and brand support as standout features.

FlexJobs vs. SEEK:

While not a remote job board, SEEK can be used to advertise remote working positions by including the word "remote" in the job title or description. While employers may find local candidates faster with SEEK, which has impressive reach in Australia, FlexJobs is the better option for reaching an international audience.

FlexJobs vs. We Work Remotely:

Both We Work Remotely and FlexJobs allow employers to post jobs in Australia without having an Australia-specific job board. We Work Remotely has a larger audience and lower starting price, but FlexJobs' exclusive membership offers more advanced features. Both are excellent platforms.

FlexJobs vs. Working Nomads:

Working Nomads also has no Australia-specific job board. It offers an entry-level plan that is more affordable than FlexJobs' monthly fee. However, it only lets users post one job, while FlexJobs lets users post an unlimited number of job ads.
