The useful takeaway

Employers don’t all describe flexible work the same way. Pair different workplace terms with the job titles you want.

Eleven terms to try

  1. Remote
  2. Work from home
  3. Fully remote
  4. Remote-first
  5. Distributed team
  6. Virtual
  7. Telecommute
  8. Home-based
  9. Remote eligible
  10. Work from anywhere
  11. Location independent

Read past the keyword

“Remote eligible” may involve approval or office visits. “Work from anywhere” can still have country or time-zone limitations. Read the details before saving the role.

Refine the title too

Try close variants of your target title, such as coordinator, specialist, associate, or representative. Keep notes on which searches produce relevant results.
