#RemoteJobs : 30 Companies Hiring Fully Remote Jobs In 2024. Question: Tired of Driving to Work?

/in /by

We’re now four years into the remote work revolution. And by the looks of it, this new work model is here to stay.  The work-from-home revolution is “one of the major shifts in the U.S. labor market in the last couple decades. It’s still kicking. It’ll probably be around for a long time,” Nick Bunker, Indeed’s economic research director for North America told CNBC last week.

Analysis of Indeed’s Remote Work Tracker shows that the share of job postings that advertise remote and hybrid work is leveling off at around 7.8%, roughly three times higher than its level in 2019.  So, despite threats of returning back to the office, there are still companies that recognize and value the remote work model and understand how it is beneficial, not only for their workforce, but also for overall business gains, efficiency, and productivity.

30 Companies Hiring Fully Remote Jobs In 2024

Here are 30 companies identified by experts at Data Engineer Jobs, a job board that posts hundreds of data engineering vacancies, as currently or very recently hiring for fully remote roles in the U.S.: (The data was compiled through only selecting companies that had three or more job postings in July 2024 and posted roles on Dice, Indeed, LinkedIn, and other major job boards. Many of these companies also carry a rating on Glassdoor of four, although this is not always the case.)

  1. Automattic
  2. Arkency
  3. Awesome Motive
  4. DuckDuck Go
  5. Float
  6. GitLab
  7. Podia
  8. Remote
  9. Scalemath
  10. Shogun
  11. Sporty Group
  12. SpringWorks
  13. Test Gorilla
  14. The Shelf
  15. Toggl
  16. U screen
  17. Veed.io
  18. Zapier
  19. Deloitte
  20. Global Elite
  21. Even Up
  22. Fisher BioServices
  23. CoStar Reality Information
  24. Everlight Solar
  25. Optum
  26. Recruiter.com
  27. Jobot
  28. ServiceNow
  29. Verant Systems
  30. Peraton

While this does not necessarily indicate that you will need to be a technical expert to successfully land a remote job, what it does mean is that it certainly helps if you have prior experience working within a tech or tech-enabled company. Your transferable experience shows that you understand the working environment and what the typical demands are on such a business.

So whether your previous role was a function in a fintech, or you held a role in sales for enterprise software products, your experience will go a long way and can be a great talking point for your job interview as well.

Finally, don’t forget that your actions should coincide with your expectations. If you are on the lookout for remote-friendly companies, you should prepare your home office space to accommodate your new role.

Even if the company is giving you a stipend for your home office set-up, you should still think about what portion of your home you will dedicate to your work so that you can focus on your job with minimal distraction.

Start clearing out that corner of your room, that cluttered storage space that can easily be turned into an office, your bedroom—wherever it is. And as you do, breathe a sigh of gratitude in your heart, knowing that your dream remote job, and dream employer, is right around the corner.

Who knows, your next role might find you working with any of the 30 employers listed in this article.

#JobSearch : 25 Companies Hiring Now For Fully Remote Jobs In 2024. You are Sure to Find Something Suitable for Your Career Goals & LifeStyle. A GReat REad!

/in /by

Within the United States, the professional, scientific, and computer-related occupations have the highest shares of job postings for hybrid roles, and most importantly, fully remote work, according to recent findings from a National Bureau of Economic Research study.

Across these sectors can be found companies who have taken innovative approaches to hiring and proactive employee retention, ensuring employee wellbeing is consistently upheld, including fully remote, hybrid options, unlimited PTO, and even offering access to meditation, yoga, and wellness classes.

When searching for employers who are hiring for fully remote jobs, remember to consider the bigger picture. Is remote an afterthought, something that they’ve shoved into their policy as a way to attract talent, but hasn’t been fully thought through? Or is remote working part of a more extensive employee support and development package, in which your wellbeing and professional growth is holistically championed?

Some of these employers have been highlighted by FlexJobs as being most active in posting the highest number of remote jobs, hiring fully remote and flexible roles since the start of the year.

The industries represented by these employers span the most popular industries for remote work, mirroring the sectors listed in the NBER study, such as healthcare, consulting, technology, finance, and social media.

They also are highly diverse and span a wide range of career paths and interests, so you are sure to find something suitable for your career goals.  Here are 25 from their full list, and some noteworthy highlights for a few of these employers:

1. Robert Half International

Robert Half, a recruitment agency and HR consulting firm, is listed as being the one of the “Best Workplaces for Parents” in 2023, was included in Fortune’s “Most Admired Companies” in 2024, and provides strong career development support and an almost four-star rating on Glassdoor.

3. AECOM

It provides health solutions including CVS Pharmacy, Aetna Health, and CVS Speciality, with associated apps. CVS Health expresses commitment to diversity including employees with disabilities, and is transparent about its hiring process on its website.

5. HubSpot

HubSpot, a leading provider in digital marketing, sales and customer service tools, training, and support, is based internationally and takes a very flexible, innovative approach to employee location, providing three options for candidates when they join the company. This makes it very attractive for those who desire fully remote work, as well as those who wish to come into the office from time to time.

All roles are eligible to be fully remote, however you have the option of also selecting their flex plan (coming into the local office more than twice a quarter), or their office-based plan if you would prefer in-person work and the office is local to you.

Some of the other employers listed who are hiring and support fully remote and flexible working for their roles, include:

  1. Creative Financial Staffing (CFS)
  2. LHH – Lee Hecht Harrison
  3. UnitedHealth Group

  16. Rubrik

  18. Canonical
  19. Circle Internet Financial
  20. Token Metrics

Many of these employers not only offer remote jobs, but they are proactive about providing you with the opportunity to thrive while working from home, so you do not feel isolated, and to ensure that your role is fully supported so you can deliver your best work. For example, some employers such as HubSpot provide a stipend for working from home, in addition to a Slack hub and extra training resources to enable you to thrive in your job.

When searching for employers who are hiring for fully remote jobs, remember to consider the bigger picture. Is remote an afterthought, something that they’ve shoved into their policy as a way to attract talent, but hasn’t been fully thought through? Or is remote working part of a more extensive employee support and development package, in which your wellbeing and professional growth is holistically championed?

#JobSearch : Top 5 Stay At Home Jobs For Moms Or Dads. Question: Would you Like to Work at Home?

/in /by

Working from home is a great way to improve your work-life balance because it allows you to spend more time with your family. The average remote worker has an estimated extra five hours per week to do the things they enjoy. Those hours are recouped from commuting. According to Zippia, it takes the average American 27.6 minutes to travel to work. That makes a total of 55.2 minutes per day traveling to and from work.

While a lot of companies currently allow their employees to work from home part-time, you can acquire full-time remote work. Here are the top five stay at home jobs for moms and dads.

1. Call Center Agent

A call center agent answers calls, responds to emails, and deals with customer enquiries over webchat. Depending on the company, you will either deal with inbound calls only, or inbound and outbound calls. Employees who take both calls are referred to as, ‘blended agents.’

Median Pay: $35,389 per year

Qualifications: Typically, a high school diploma is enough to secure a call center position. But if you want to earn more money, you will need additional qualifications. However, you will receive on-the-job training.

How Do You Land A Great Remote Job?

The job application process for a remote job is no different than it is for an office job. Make sure your resume is up to date and start sending them out to companies who offer remote work. You will find vacancies posted on jobsites, but you can also ask friends and family if they know of any remote working opportunities.

While working from home seems ideal, it is important to understand that it is a very different dynamic to an office. You will need to create an office space, structure your day, and organize your time. Additionally, you will need an extra dose of self-discipline because there are so many distractions at home. You won’t have a manager overshadowing you, all of which make it very easy to slack off. However, if you know you can handle being self-motivated and self-reliant, working from home is extremely rewarding.

#JobSearch : An Unexpected Perk Of Remote Work- It’s Easier To Job Hunt. Great REad!

/in /by

Before Suzanne Garner worked remotely, part of her job hunt and interview prep included practicing driving to and from her potential new office, previewing the route and the stoplights that could delay her. But since she started working from home seven years ago, she says “all that stress goes away” now when it comes to job searching: To interview for a new job, she doesn’t have to make excuses for being out of the office, schedule calls for early morning when her boss won’t overhear or hop on a plane to meet potential employers—let alone do homework on traffic routes.

“Before working remotely became more commonplace, I didn’t even search for companies outside of driving distance,” says Garner, who lives in San Diego and has worked as a marketing director for Boston-based, health information platform Outcomes4Me since late March. “Working remotely certainly provides more flexibility in terms of time and where you can meet when it comes to interviewing.”

With the pandemic-induced pivot to more virtual work, more and more job seekers are experiencing not only the freedom to interview for remote-based jobs—but the ease of doing so outside the view of their manager’s watchful eye. Gone are the days of having to throw on a suit jacket at least a block away from the office to secretly dress up for an interview. For many, the muffled, heads-down calls to coordinate interview logistics are a thing of the past. No longer are sick days needed to head across town—or across the country—for an interview.

Much has been made of how the Great Resignation is being driven, in part, by the access workers have to a national pool of remote jobs. But there’s a less trumpeted factor at play: Many obstacles to interviewing are eroded for job seekers who are in the privacy of their home office, working flexible hours and able to step away at a moment’s notice.

What Skill Sets Do You have to be ‘Sharpened’ ?

Did you know?  First Sun Consulting, LLc (FSC) is celebrating over 30 years in the delivery of corporate & individual outplacement services & programs to over 1200 of our corporate clients in the U.S., Canada, UK, & Mexico!  

We here at FSC want to thank each of corporate partners in the opportunity in serving & moving each of their transitioning employee(s) rapidly toward employment !

According to the latest update from WFH Research, a project started in May 2020 by an economist and professors at Stanford University and ITAM in Mexico to track working arrangements and attitudes, nearly half of the 2,000 U.S. workers surveyed say working from home has made it easier to interview for prospective jobs.

In writing about the findings, which the researchers say they plan to continue exploring in the coming months, they write that “working from home can make it easier to take 30 minutes to an hour to do a virtual interview, or browse job ads and fill applications on a personal device without worrying about coworkers and managers snooping over your shoulder.”

One of the researchers, Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom, says when your boss knows you’re interviewing for another job, it can be bad news. “If you are actively looking for another job and you interview with three or four different companies, that’s extremely hard if you’re working in the office everyday because you have to come up with several excuses,” Bloom says. “Maybe you fabricate an entire ailment—I don’t know. But it’s hard.”

Interviewing while working remotely allows employees to schedule even more interviews than ever before, says Carly Mednick, a2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and founding partner at recruitment agency Monday Talent. “If you take into account an hour-long interview, commute to the office and back, we can be talking two hours or more of time to carve out.”

With location no longer a requirement, the job pool has not only widened; the search process has less friction. When it came time for Maia Thornton to interview for her new job as a senior knowledge specialist at Bain & Company, she didn’t have to worry about booking flights and taking time off to travel and could instead focus on nailing the interview.

“It was really seamless for me to still do my job and then also look out for my own career development,” says Thornton, who is currently based in Columbus. “I leaned on LinkedIn, and I didn’t have to worry about traveling and taking days off work.”

Working from home makes scheduling those interviews easier. For B.J. Schone, who joined feature management platform LaunchDarkly as director of learning and development in April, the biggest perk of the remote job search was the time saved.

“Maybe that’s why it’s easier for some folks to be switching so much during the Great Resignation,” San Diego-based Schone says. “You can just hop on a Zoom call from your own room and conduct all the interviews there.”

He says jumping offline for a 30-minute interview or quick chat with a recruiter was easier to schedule at home. So was filling out job applications.

“For many employees, it was like they’re going to preschool, and being watched, making sure they are at their desk or in the cubicles,” says Antonio Neves, a career coach for mid-career professionals.

The role has switched, Neves says. Job seekers are now interviewing employers just as much as employers are interviewing them. Employees, especially mid-career professionals, he says, have more leverage now and are more often deciding “to dip their feet in the water to see what’s out there.”

Going forward, the ease of interviewing, Bloom predicts, will lead to permanently higher employee turnover and impulse job changes—the same way online shopping has increased impulse spending. “We will see the same with people changing jobs because it’s so easy now when you’re working remotely to do it very quickly,” he says. “You can have jobs where you apply in the morning, schedule an interview for later that day and, if you’re a great candidate, have a job offer at the end of the day.”
