“Nobody is hiring for remote jobs anymore!”
If you’ve been scrolling through job boards, feeling like remote work is disappearing, you’re not alone.
BUT HERE’S THE TRUTH: Companies ARE still hiring remotely… they’re just not broadcasting it.
Why? Some companies don’t list jobs as remote to avoid a flood of applicants. Others offer “hybrid” roles but allow fully remote work if you ask. Many prefer to hire internally or through hidden job markets.
So how do you find these remote jobs before everyone else? Keep reading.
Use Company Career Pages Instead of Job Boards
Most people ONLY search on Indeed, LinkedIn, or Glassdoor. Huge mistake.
Why? Because many companies post jobs on their own website first—sometimes weeks before they hit job boards.
🔥 Hack: Google search: “[Company Name] Careers” or “[Industry] companies hiring remote jobs”
Pro Tip: Make a list of remote-friendly companies and check their career pages weekly.
Find Companies That Offer “Hybrid” (But Will Let You Go Fully Remote)
Many companies list jobs as hybrid because they don’t want to publicly commit to remote work.
BUT… some hybrid jobs are secretly remote if you ask the right way.
🔥 Hack:
Apply to hybrid roles and ask in the pre-screen: “Do any team members work remotely full-time?”
If they say yes, there’s a chance you can too.
🚀 Pro Tip: Some industries (like marketing, software, and finance) have remote teams even in "hybrid" jobs.
Use Remote-Specific Job Boards (Not Just LinkedIn & Indeed)
Most job seekers only use big job boards… but remote jobs are often posted elsewhere first.
🔥 Best Remote Job Boards:
We Work Remotely – Best for tech, marketing, and customer support.
Remotive.io – Startups & tech companies hiring remotely.
FlexJobs – Curated remote jobs (paid, but worth it).
AngelList – Remote startup jobs, often unlisted elsewhere.
Dynamite Jobs – Fully remote, full-time, and contract roles.
🚀 Pro Tip: Set up job alerts so you get notified before everyone else.
Network in Private Remote Job Communities
💡 80% of jobs are never posted online. Instead, they’re filled through referrals and private job groups.
🔥 Where to network for hidden remote jobs:
LinkedIn & Facebook Groups – Join remote work communities and watch for job postings.
Slack & Discord Groups – Many industries have private hiring channels where companies post remote roles first.
Follow hiring managers on LinkedIn – They often post jobs before they hit job boards.
🚀 Pro Tip: Instead of just lurking, engage in these communities. Ask for referrals, share insights, and build connections before you need a job.
Use “Remote” Keywords in Your Resume (So You Show Up in Searches!)
Recruiters search for remote candidates, but if your resume doesn’t include the right keywords, you won’t even show up.
🔥 How to Optimize Your Resume for Remote Jobs:
Add “Remote” to job titles (Example: “Remote Customer Support Specialist”).
Include “remote,” “distributed team,” and “virtual collaboration” in your skills section.
Pro Tip: Recruiters literally search for “remote” in databases. If your resume doesn’t say it, you won’t show up!
