TUCSON, Ariz., July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- One of the web's leading remote job boards is highlighting employers that are turning dreams of remote work into reality for professionals everywhere.
Founded in 2007, Virtual Vocations is a 100% virtual company that has spent the last 14 years connecting jobseekers with legitimate remote job openings from expert-vetted employers. In the second quarter of 2021, more than 250 of these openings came from members of the company's exclusive Employer Partner program, which allows businesses to work directly with the Virtual Vocations team to share current job listings with talented professionals looking for remote work.
Released Monday, Virtual Vocations' 2021 Q2 Employer Partners Report highlights 15 of those businesses that rose above the pack to share the most new remote openings with jobseekers in April, May, and June of this year. The report also puts the spotlight on more than 30 remote-enabled businesses that were welcomed into the Employer Partner program in Q2.
According to Virtual Vocations CEO and co-founder Laura Spawn, the new additions made for a 142.86% increase in new Employer Partners added to the program in the second quarter of 2021 compared to Q1. "In addition, throughout April, May, and June, Employer Partner hiring increased by 21.84%," Spawn said.
The new report also reveals that of the 251 remote job openings posted to Virtual Vocations' massive remote jobs database by its Employer Partners in Q2 of 2021, more than 60% were full-time work from home jobs, and more than half were permanent positions, while just 20% were designated specifically for independent contractors.
But the report doesn't just provide good news for jobseekers who want long-term remote work options. For those seeking maximum location independence, more than 99% of the jobs posted by Virtual Vocations' Employer Partners in Q2 were 100% remote positions, and more than 1 in 4 came from Employer Partners that operate 100% virtual businesses.
The numbers indicate that even after more than a year of unprecedented growth for remote work, there are no signs that the market will be slowing any time soon.
"With businesses and organizations across the world now in a remote hiring push following a tumultuous 2020, the job market is thriving. And our Virtual Vocations Employer Partner members are proof," said CEO Laura Spawn.
