Despite some employers pushing for a return to the office, many companies continue to embrace flexible work arrangements, offering a wealth of opportunities for job seekers.
A recent FlexJobs report analyzed around 60,000 companies and their job postings in 2025, identifying the top 100 companies hiring for remote and hybrid roles. According to FlexJobs career expert Keith Spencer, offering flexible work options allows companies to tap into a broader and more diverse talent pool, leading to numerous benefits.
Remote work remains highly popular among employees. A previous FlexJobs survey found that approximately 98% of workers prefer hybrid or remote work over fully in-person arrangements. Spencer notes that companies offering flexibility often see higher productivity, better retention, lower attrition, and a happier workforce.
Top Career Categories and Job Titles
According to the report, the top three career categories with the most remote job postings in 2025 were:
- Project Management
- Computer and IT
- Operations
The top three job titles were Account Executive, Software Engineer, and Project Manager. Spencer highlights that this marks a significant shift from previous years, where tech and finance roles typically dominated the list.
Newcomers to the List
This year, 40 of the top 100 companies were newcomers, which Spencer describes as a sign of hope for job seekers. It indicates a growing commitment among employers to offer flexible career options across various industries.
