FlexJobs - Remote Job Search for Negative User Reviews
✓ Worst App EverIf people are looking for a job why charge for the service? Job apps are supposed to help people find a job so that they may be able to provide for their families and themselves. Charging someone to help find a job is the biggest scam I’ve ever come across. I wouldn’t recommend this app to my worst enemy. Whoever reads this comment please go to free apps that actually care about helping you find a job and not trying to charge for a service to fill their pockets..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Pay to find a job?I’m applying for a job cause I need the money but to even sign up it cost money like there’s no trial how do I know if this is even in my location, or in my country? Should be a sneak preview or a day trial.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Not a free app - definitely not worthyThis app is a total scam. They just you to give them your emails and then they will ask you purchase a subscription. Definitely would not recommend to any job seekers especially when plenty of free options are available..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Could be great but how would I ever find outI paid for the week but found maybe one or two jobs that I could apply to. I also had issues with searching in the app itself. But I only know this after I already paid. I get that you offer a better experience etc and you want to be compensated for that but I feel like you guys are trying to protect yourselves and make sure that you’re good instead of actually caring about your customers and helping them literally change their lives. There is no reason you cannot give a 24-48hr free trial. Or are we concerned that people will find and apply for a job within that time, delete that app and you won’t make money? What about $10 a month? Or whatever you want it to be. What about allowing people to look at jobs but pay a fee for each application? There are so many options that allow you to make money while also being realistic because I bet If the roles were reversed, many of you would probably be complaining about the same thing. All im saying is, If your app is as amazing as you say, then prove it. Allow people to experience what they are getting into. If it’s as good as you say, people will have no problem paying for a premium product. But people have to be able to decide that for themselves and not just cause it said so in the app description or review section..Version: 2.2.1
✓ I should have just went for the trial….I wanted a side gig that didn’t involve me driving my car, and since flexjobs is known for posting real jobs, I had so much confidence in this that I dove right for the yearly subscription. After some digging and filtering out some stuff, I had 0 luck finding a job that could work for me…. And I feel really stupid not going for the trial membership…. I was looking for jobs like pet sitting, social media manager (a fun one) or even working at a skateshop. Nope, just saw a bunch of jobs that just weren’t for me…. 0 stars (if I could) ill give this app 5 stars if I can get my 60 dollars back..Version: 2.4.0
✓ A total scamThis app is a scam. It keeps sending you to the initial page and subscription page. When you buy the subscription it takes you back the initial page where you choose what type of job are you looking for and it keeps doing that back and forth. You can’t claim your money back and if you cancel and renew in that very moment it charges you again. Never got to see the job list..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Very small amount of actual jobsSo, here’s the deal. Customer service is Non-existent. I emailed them about 3 weeks ago and they never responded. Also all the reviews online are fake because if they don’t like your review they’ll ask whatever review company like trust pilot to take it down. I got mine removed because they told trust pilot. The jobs are only good if you have higher than a master's. And the small amount of jobs for undergraduate are slim and some just scam you for info. They say they screen but they don’t. I found about dozens of jobs who just wanted your info. Buyer beware. Don’t trust all those positive reviews. I paid with a promotion and would never pay full price for this. Look for coupons if you try because it’s not worth it for no jobs.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Worthless don’t waste your time.The first thing they do when you open the app is ask you to buy a subscription which posts your personal CC# information which I didn’t give them permission to obtain. If I’m looking for a job how would I have money to pay for a subscription? This clearly is taking advantage of people who are just looking for a job. ZERO STARS. POOR FORM. SKIP THIS ONE..Version: 2.2.0
✓ You have to pay just to see the jobs availableI’m not going to pay for a service if you can’t promise that you’re going to have decent jobs posted I have no idea how many jobs are posted or how many are in my range that I’m even interested in posted. Why pay for a service when there’s no knowledge of what types of jobs you’re offering. there are better ways to find a remote job. I’m guessing if the jobs are posted here they’re probably also posted on a free board anyway..Version: 2.2.2
✓ SCAM STAY AWAYI STRONGLY ADVISE TO NOT download or make any purchases through this app. I made the 2.99 purchase for 1 month free, yesterday, March 24, 2024 at 7:32 pm, the payment was successful on my end but I didn’t have access to the account, the app wouldn’t let me pass the subscription page. I called the customer number, which was difficult to find btw, and told the representative my issue, he told me he see my account but doesn’t see my payment. How come if I have a receipt from my bank and from apple it self. JUST STAY AWAY‼️‼️ NEGATIVE ZERO STARS ‼️‼️(since I have to give a star 🙄).Version: 2.5.1
✓ Doesn’t workThe app just spins it never loads. I removed it and redownloaded it and it worked once. When I timed out I couldn’t get it to load again. I’m not sure what the bug is but it won’t work. I pay for the subscription and I’m disappointed I’m limited to using it when I’m at home on my laptop. The mobile site is alright but the mobile app when it works is better..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Pay to use the app?You have to pay a subscription to use the application there is no option for a free trial and they don't let you go pass that page. :/.Version: 1.5.1
✓ WasteYou have to pay a monthly subscription if you want to apply..Version: 2.3.1
✓ AmazingThis review would have been a 5 star, however, the eskills assessment tests do not have all types of work from home positions to show your knowledge of that specific industry. Also, the most FRUSTRATING issue is when I 1st started using FlexJobs I had no issues taking the assessments and now the assessments are not updating as though I have completed them. These tests are long and I took the excel 2 times in one day, and again a few days later. I took 3 different tests and none have posted. When I contacted chat support I was told “the test is there if not take it again”. Seriously, I have already taken the test 3 times at about 40 minutes each why would I take the test again? Isn’t that the definition of insanity? Then I called support and because these tests are through a third party vendor they can’t help, just escalate the issue. Still no contact, invested days to weeks of studying, and about 40 minutes per test. This isn’t a free subscription which is why I’m canceling because I’m receiving the services being paid for nor am I getting help from support. Other than that it’s an absolutely fantastic site and worth paying the subscription in my opinion.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Scam alertSeems to me like a scam as they are trying to get users to pay money for subscription without any proof of good value back..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Pay to applyFind it kind of useless to promote an app and then make people pay to even apply. Should be a free option for people trying to find jobs. Gave 2* because the platform is well built, but kind of pointless to make it where you have to pay to even apply..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Pay to find a job???Since there’s not even a trial, I would say this app is a scam.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Not a free for job seekers?!Since when do job seekers need to pay to look for jobs? This is ridiculous. Makes me even wonder if the job postings are even real!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ 😟I didn’t even get the opportunity to use the app because it asked me for a payment. I read the reviews and decided against it after reading about how ineffective the search engine and filtered results are I was highly discouraged. A 1 month free trial should definitely be offered. Update: I’m gonna try it and see, hopefully my experience is better. I decided to try because it says “no scam job” and I’ve had a ton of experience with scammers and just want to eliminate the confusion and skepticism..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Extremely frustratingThis is app is extremely frustrating. Not FlexJobs itself but just this app. I’ve reset my password several times and was able to login on the website but everytime I’ve used this app it says that my information is invalid. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. But everything works great on the website. It’s annoying and frustrating. And kinda inconvenient considering that being able to use the app is supposed to be a convenience 🙃.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Disappointed and regret purchasing subscriptionI have been a subscribing member of FlexJobs for a few months. I bought a 1-year subscription because it was the best deal at the time. But I have not been satisfied with my experience. I feel that the types of jobs that are curated by FlexJobs are not very diverse in sector, field, or experience level. Most of the jobs are very corporatey white collar capitalist jobs at companies I’ve never heard of. There are also still jobs showing up that were posted in December, but are likely no longer hiring. I am also very disappointed in the lack of ability to filter by salary range. Overall, I regret paying to use FlexJobs, as there are many more job boards out there that have a wider range of jobs, more recent postings, more filter options, and are free or a lot cheaper..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Even with app this isn’t supported well on mobileI tried taking several of the assessment quizzes but at the end I couldn’t see my results, I assume due to being in a mobile platform. The webpage wouldn’t load or the app would crash. I also can’t cancel my subscription via my mobile devices. You have to use a laptop or desk computer for that. So now I’ve paid for it even though I am not able to use the app for my I intended purpose. I use an iPhone 13 and an iPad with keyboard for all of my regular communication and work needs..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Back the beginning ?When you click on the search icon for “find jobs” and then you scroll and find one, click on it to read it, then you hit back ( top left) it takes you to the very beginning of the list in which you’d usually wanna go back and continue right where you left off instead . Super annoying.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Yea this is a BIG NO!!!! Less than 1 starThey want you to give all ur info and then ask u to pay to show you jobs. If the app would have stated that in the beginning I wouldn’t have even gave my info. Why not jus charge for the app… Now that I’m reviewing the comments looks like they have bots commenting that this works all the positive review say the same stuff. One person said they’ve used this app for years … if you found a job and this app works so well WHY ARE YOU USING THIS APP FOR YEARS …. Once again jus charge for the app don’t need ur long paragraph about how the app works don’t ask for all people information saying the app is free then want us to pay. Best of luck 🙄.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Doesn’t workI pay, because they say it is 100% effective, but that is not true, they really steal your money I apply for a lot Jobs, and never received any email or any information about job, some jobs already find the person, but they still at the platform, that mean They don't update the platform, so You waste your time filling all your information here, because them You just need to fill everything again in the job pages, so no helpful..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Not for CanadianNot for Canadian.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Useful but not user friendlyI think it’s useful, and the customer service was helpful when the app glitched. But it’s not very user friendly. The most frustrating part is when you are scrolling jobs, every time you go back to the jobs list after viewing a job.. it takes you back to the top. It should take you back to where you left off. It becomes too tedious to spend more than a few minutes looking..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Paid for access and still won’t let me use itSigned in and paid the 1 month subscription. Now the app won’t register that I’ve already paid for access and keeps prompting me to pay again..Version: 2.5.1
✓ WoowReading all the reviews has definitely helped me decide. There are way too many people saying the same things. What gets me is when customers receive a reply, they say all this about screening & search engine works for them, basically a whole lot of NO ACCOUNTABILITY or care for the customer that has paid them. I will be immediately uninstalling, especially since they don’t have customer service. Glad I didn’t pay!.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Asks for payment AFTER asking for your infoIt requires a subscription to access, which is fine, but it makes no effort to mention that until after you give it your info. Also, why would I have the money to pay for an app if I am actively looking for a job? Seems like a joke to me. Congrats to those of you who are able to afford a subscription to help you look for a job, but that’s not me 🤣.Version: 2.3.1
✓ They don’t really care about youHow are y’all going to charge broke people obviously looking for a job?? YALL ARE CHARGING TO FIND JOBS. Really? In this economy? Edit bc of response: LOL be fr. “you can still use the app” NOT YOU CANNOT yeah you can open the app and scroll around but to actually see any information about any jobs posted you have to PAY. So no you can’t still use the app without paying. Don’t you charge these companies in order to have them posted? This is just greed..Version: 2.0.1
✓ I have to pay to apply for a job?I am already working full time and I have decided to see if this app could introduce me to possible part-time gigs. I made an account with them years ago and decided to log back in to see my options. I immediately learned after logging in that I have to pay to see the job options? What? If I’m prospective employee who is unemployed and is looking for work to get $$$ in my pocket, why would you ask me to pay anything?? Doesn’t make sense to me. Anyway, this app is not for me and I’ll be looking into how to permanently delete my account..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Not worth my moneyI spent the $70 for the year and I wish I had not. On the pros of this, it is an awesome concept and there is room for improvement. I personally do not like this because it has been really hard to actually find jobs on here, 90% of what I see asks for a bachelors degree and I’m not qualified for (even data entry and administration assistance). I wish the algorithm or site would tailor to my qualifications instead of just throwing more jobs I can not do in my face.. I’ve played around and tried filters and still the same issue. The site has discouraged me quite a bit, and I’m looking to other places now to find remote work..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Be sure to read the FINE PRINT!!I subscribed to flex jobs middle of last year 2023. I read the fine print and everything, after I looked around, and I did a few things decided that the app really wasn’t worth it, and there were no jobs available, although the companies kept saying that there is, there isn’t don’t believe them! I canceled my subscription, but guess who’s still trying to charge my credit card every four weeks even though I have canceled my subscription. I go through the website right now, not in the app, on the website and I still cannot find any place to verify it is 100% canceled. All it wants me to do is sign up again which I do not want. Beware I’m gonna report this to the Better Business Bureau. Also, if you click on the bottom where they say who endorsed by the Better Business Bureau icon, it goes to a page “unfound” beware.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Scam stole my moneyThis app is a scam I paid for the trial and every time I try to log in it’s trying to make me pay again I wasn’t even able to use the app once it just took my money I’m a single mom trying to find a job to better my sons life mine and to keep my dog alive so for this app to scam me while I was trying to better my life is just disgusting what is wrong with people.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Not worth the moneyNo free access or trial here. Assumed bc there wasn’t, this MUST be the app to download for my Remote Job Search…WRONG. The fact that I paid for this app, is what upsets me. So disappointed. Searching for jobs that are personalized to you is difficult. Spent 10 mins creating a search filters that I could save onto my profile - never saved! Disappeared. Do not receive daily emails of recommended jobs and when I do, they are not personalized to me at all. There is no filter for salary preference so I receive jobs that pay $12-14/hour 😐So when I enter a job title into the search bar without 2000+ results come back…80% of them being nothing related to what I’m looking for. I’ve had the app for almost a week now and have sent 2 applications. Better off downloading Indeed or ZipRecruiter…at least their free!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Pay before you get a job?You have to understand, most people in here aren’t looking to pay, they’re looking to get paid. Some maybe employed, some maybe not. So before getting people to pay you they’re money, maybe you should find them a job first, and then charge them. Like a fee..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Scammy appI payed for the subscription and got no response from job applications, plus all the jobs are linked to other job sites, so pretty much if you focus on LinkedIn and Indeed, you can save the money. A complete waste of time. Update: The replies by whoever responds to these reviews are pathetic and complete lies. Somehow no one can leave their opinion and they can just learn, fix it and make it better. If you’re on the defensive all the time, maybe it’s time to look at what you offer and rethink it. The worst job site ever, for now….Version: 2.2.2
✓ Must pay to see what Flex Jobs is aboutI think maybe I’ve become too spoiled with all of the free trials that apps out there offer now a days… but I also very much appreciate those offers because my money is very important to me and my family’s lives and I can’t just blindly give any part of it to an app that I know pretty much nothing about snd then the only way they will allow me to learn more about it is if I pay upfront before ever seeing what they have to offer. Sorry at this time I will not do such a thing and there are plenty of apps in this same category that so offer free subscription trials so looks like I will look elsewhere for a service like this . Very disappointed as I probably would have ended up purchasing a subscription had I been able to see any part of what they offer but as soon as I opened up the app and signed up I was prompted to the “pay” screen and was unable to proceed until giving up my pmt information. Too bad. I’ll keep checking in every once in awhile to see if they ever offer any kind of trial … I mean even just a 24 hours or even just your first visit in the app free would have been enough to suffice ..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Ineffective Search EngineFirst, I recommend that you go for the cheapest deal and immediately discontiue the auto payments, so that you can determine if they have the jobs for which you are qualified. They have a lot of jobs listed but they may not have the one you want. I discovered immediately that their search engine is severely ineffective. I entered “engineer” and got zero results, yet when I did not filter the results I came across several jobs with engineer in the title. This forces you to look through hundreds of jobs that you have no interest in to find the few that you are. Ultimately, I did not find what I wanted. Maybe that’s because I did not want to spend hours looking through all the jobs when I only wanted engineering jobs or maybe they don’t have the type of engineering job I want. Either way, I won’t be renewing my subscription. I threw away $10 but at least it wasn’t more..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Can’t Apply W/out Paying…In todays job market where a masters degree, 4+ years experience, and front name on a peer-reviewed published research paper is considered entry level. Where 100+ job-specified applications and cover letters average zero (0) response. At a time when employers belly laugh when asked to respect an applicants time, spit in the face of streamlined onboarding processes, and are apparently unconcerned that 100s of prospective applicants are rotting aware in the spam box of the signatory “retiring next year” HR rep. Whatever lol idk but until you require more accountability from employers using your service I ain’t paying just to fill some humiliation kink..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Horrible and you have to pay for this serviceIt’s crazy how you have to pay to look for work. It doesn’t even look for the jobs you are filtering. I kept checking for part time and it keeps showing me full time position. I had to pay $9.99 for a week to show me positions I was not requesting. Wish I could get my money back!!!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Job experience ordering is messed upI had to redo my whole profile online instead of using the app because the ordering function doesn’t work at all. The jobs jump around and there’s no way to undo or fix the random way they jump around. Pretty frustrating..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Scammed!I signed up and paid the offer price through Apple Pay and when I go to log in, it keeps trying to get me to pay it again. I’m looking for remote work so figured it was worth a try for the promotional price. Not so. I have my Apple receipt and I expect you guys to make it right. Update: when I tried to report it to app developers to get my money back, it said “Spam Identified” so they definitely get their negative responses so they do not have to respond..Version: 2.5.1
