Post a flexible job

Reach a candidate pool that has already proven they can deliver under constraints — working parents and caregivers — by sharing your remote, part-time, or flexible role with FlexCareers.

What we list

FlexCareers is intentionally narrow. We list roles that meet at least one of the following:

• Fully remote with no in-office requirement (hybrid roles are not accepted).
• Part-time hours — typically 15-30 hours per week, with clearly defined expectations.
• Flexible schedule — async-first, school-hours friendly, four-day week, or job-share friendly.
• Contract or freelance with the candidate setting their own week.

What gets a high parent-friendly score

Our scoring is automatic — we read the language of your listing and look for explicit, honest signals. The clearer you are, the better you'll score. Here are the words and phrases that move the needle in your favor:

• "Part-time, 20 hours a week, you set the days" — explicit time + schedule control.
• "Async-first; we have one core overlap hour at 11am ET" — quantified meeting load.
• "16 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents" — concrete leave policy.
• "No on-call rotation; production incidents are handled by a dedicated SRE team" — bounded responsibility.
• "School-hours friendly; we expect everyone to be offline during pickup/dropoff windows" — culturally explicit.
• "Four-day work week, full pay" — structural flexibility.

And here are the phrases that hurt:

• "Fast-paced startup environment" — usually code for unbounded hours.
• "Wear many hats" — usually code for vague scope and schedule sprawl.
• "On-call rotation expected" — incompatible with caregiving rhythms.
• "In-office two days a week" — disqualifies from FlexCareers entirely.

If your role is genuinely flexible, the easiest way to score well is to write the listing the way you'd describe the role to a candidate over coffee — what hours, what response expectations, what after-hours commitments — instead of leaning on hiring-template clichés.

How to submit a role

Send the following to jobs@flexcareers.example:

1. The job title and a link to the listing on your careers page.
2. The category (engineering, design, support, marketing, sales, ops, finance, writing, product).
3. A one-paragraph description of the role's flexibility — hours, async expectations, parental leave.
4. The salary range if you're willing to share it (we recommend it; transparent ranges score higher).

We review submissions manually within two business days. If your listing is approved, we'll add it to the appropriate category page within 24 hours of approval and let you know the parent-friendly score it received.

Pricing

FlexCareers does not currently charge to post a flexible role. We may introduce a featured-listing tier in the future, but the base listing will always remain free and the parent-friendly score will never be influenced by payment.

Why post here instead of a general remote board?

Working parents and caregivers self-select into FlexCareers because it pre-filters out the postings that don't match their reality. If you're hiring for a genuinely flexible role, posting it on a general remote board buries you under thousands of standard 9-to-5 listings; posting it here puts you in front of candidates who are actively looking for exactly what you're offering.
