7 Work from Home LEADS

sites that feature remote work opportunities.

1. AngelList

If you’re looking to work in the startup world, this site can be a great place to start your remote journey. It features nearly 20,000 startups with open positions.

Sign up and create a profile by uploading your resume or manually filling in your job experience. Then, start browsing open positions.

Job categories include developer, designer, marketing and sales. The site has featured jobs from companies like Yelp, Warby Parker, Instacart and Tinder.

If you click the star next to a job and the company stars your profile, you’ll connect via email, where you can send a more tailored and personalized cover letter and resume.

2. FlexJobs

Tired of those too-good-to-be-true postings that really are too good to be true?

FlexJobs hand-screens each posting — about 29,000 of them — to be sure each company is reputable.

Choose to search for jobs by location. There, select the remote option and scan the endless listings.

Fluent in another language? Check out the number of telephone interpreter postings. Interested in words? Browse all the SEO and news writing jobs.

But here’s the catch: To get the full details of a job listing, apply or access other perks (like the skills test), you must sign up for a $14.95-per-month membership.

This is the only site on the list that’ll cost you, but the quality of its listings might be worth the cost. Take a look to see whether you find enough openings relevant to your experience before signing up, and once you find the right gig, be sure to cancel your membership!

3. Glassdoor

Glassdoor is all about transparency, a welcome quality when you’re researching potential employers. Find company ratings, salaries and even information about the hiring process, including actual job interview questions.

Start typing “remo …” in the location search box, and “Remote (Work From Home)” will pop up. If you don’t designate an interest area, the site will display nearly 1,500 jobs.

Job titles include account executives, digital marketing managers, software engineers and product managers.

4. Indeed

Boasting the position of “#1 job site worldwide,” Indeed will likely offer you the most comprehensive search. Not only do employers post jobs directly to Indeed, the interface aggregates job postings from thousands of other sites.

Although you’ll need patience to sort through the listings, the search options are endless and the jobs are varied: personal assistants, social media managers, voiceover artists and food bloggers.

Simply search “remote” in the location bar. But watch out for the sponsored listings at the top and bottom of the page — they might not fit your search criteria.

5. Jobspresso

Because Jobspresso only lists remote jobs, you don’t have to trudge through contingencies and fine print — you’ll know the job’s really remote.

Simply select “Browse Jobs” and either choose all remote jobs or search by a career category. Keep an eye on location — some positions require you to work in a certain time zone or state.

Chug your espresso and start exploring all the options: writer (celebrity beats included), brand manager and web developer positions abound.

6. Remote OK

Remote OK aggregates remote job listings “digital nomads” from other sites such as Stack Overflow and Indeed. You’ll find mostly technology-based gigs, but there’s an option to search “non-tech.”

Under each category, the jobs are listed by posting date. But if you’re feeling really ambitious, take a look at the “highest paid” category, which highlights jobs with six-figure salaries.

Also sign up for daily, weekly or monthly emails or automated updates. Or just follow the platform on Twitter — unlike some other sites on this list, Remote OK’s tweets are almost all about job opportunities.

7. Remotive

Yes, that’s “remote” + “productive.”

This site focuses exclusively on remote job listings, so simply select your desired category of profession (education, engineering or human resources, among others). Clicking on a job listing will take you directly to the company’s site, where you can apply.

What companies are currently hiring? Github, Wikimedia and Automattic (with a position called the Happiness Engineer) — to name just a few.

After your initial search, stay on top of new job listings by signing up for the twice-a-month email.
