FlexJobs Welcomes Hundreds of New Companies to Growing Database of Employers Hiring for Flexible Jobs
Boulder, CO (PRWEB) December 12, 2016 -- Despite misconceptions that only certain career fields such as computer/IT, marketing and writing recruit flexible workers, FlexJobs reports that they have added hundreds of new employers from a wide variety of industries into its database this year. These companies need to fill telecommuting, part-time, freelance, and flexible job openings.
In total, the FlexJobs company database now exceeds 47,000 companies. The companies have all offered flexible jobs in the past, and thousands are currently hiring for flexible jobs. With 80 percent of U.S. companies currently offering flexible work arrangements, opportunities for flexible job seekers have increased in recent years. FlexJobs has experienced a 74 percent increase in companies featured in its database since 2013.
“The flexible job market continues to grow and diversify, with companies such as Cisco, CVS Health, and USDA joining the many other employers now recognizing the benefits of incorporating flexible workers into their business model,”said Sara Sutton Fell, Founder and CEO of FlexJobs. “The movement towards win-win flexible work options such as telecommuting, flexible schedules, and freelance work will continue to grow stronger in 2017, and FlexJobs is proud to have created a space that facilitates connecting forward-thinking companies with qualified candidates.”
The highest number of new employers came from the Consulting, Computer/IT, Education, Finance, Marketing, Medical and Health, and Nonprofit industries, with a wide range of other career categories also represented, such as Arts & Entertainment, Environmental, Government, HR, Insurance, Fashion, Travel, Legal, Pharmaceutical, Retail, Research, and Sports & Fitness.
Job titles these companies have recruited for are extremely diverse and often surprising because common assumptions lead people to falsely believe that many jobs are not conducive to flexible options. However, job titles often include corporate development director, field marketing manager, network security engineer, senior business analyst, technical lead, project director, customer service advisor and mortgage loan officer.
