of the companies that posted the most remote jobs over the past year. After nearly two years of pandemic-driven remote work, the list includes a record number of new companies and a substantial variety of titles, both signs the shift to hiring for remote-based jobs is here to stay.
“When you look at 2020 and the first year of the pandemic, the list didn’t change all that much in terms of the types of jobs being represented,” says Brie Reynolds, career services manager for FlexJobs, which scans job boards and company sites for postings advertising remote-based jobs or those with flexible schedules.
In 2021, for instance, the top three fields represented in FlexJobs’ analysis, which examines a database of remote jobs posted last year by approximately 57,000 companies, were for roles in computers and information technology, accounting and finance and marketing. But in 2019, neither marketing nor accounting and finance jobs made it into the top five.
Thirty-five of the top 100 companies, including HubSpot, Mayo Clinic and Stitch Fix, were new in 2021, compared with just 29 new companies on the list in 2019, the year before the pandemic. FlexJobs saw a 12% increase in the number of remote job listings in 2021, compared with 2020. And while the majority of remote postings were for experienced and manager-level roles, the percentage of remote-based entry-level jobs was also higher in 2021 than the year prior.
Many of the employers at the top of the list—including No. 1 BroadPath, which provides remote outsourcing services—hire a large number of virtual call center workers, customer service agents and others for outsourcing positions. But these employers are also hiring for other jobs that are remotely based—BroadPath’s website is currently promoting a “work at home”
