An experienced remote worker has issued advice to others seeking work from home – telling them to avoid the big names in the recruitment industry.
Sarah, who offers top tips on on how to get the most out of your online income and side hustle declared: “This may be controversial, but stop searching for online using LinkedIn and Indeed.”
Instead, she has three lesser-known alternatives, which she claims are the best sources in which to find a suitable position in 2025. “Here are three game-changing remote job boards that are about to revolutionise your career search,” she declared in her video’s caption.
FlexJobs.com
This is the number one, most trusted jobs website with zero scams, no BS, but real opportunities,” Sarah explained. “FlexJobs not only offers a treasure trove of remote jobs but also provides invaluable articles to guide remote job seekers like you. It’s your one-stop-shop for remote career success.”

Remotive.io
Sarah highlighted: “This is great because it provides you a list of jobs, but also helps you match them to your personality traits and skills.” She included the website’s bio, which states: “Why limit yourself to local opportunities when you can explore global remote jobs? Remotive.io opens the door to a world of possibilities.”

Sarah described her third and final suggestion as “perfect for those who want flexibility and travel-friendly remote jobs”. It can be a lot more appealing than an office 9-5!
She added: “This platform connects you with remote job opportunities that suit your lifestyle and career goals, all from the comfort of your own space.”
According to the Office for National Statistics, more than a quarter of working adults in Britain (28%) were hybrid working (working part-time in the office, part-time from home) in the autumn of 2024. The adds: “While the trend in working only from home has fallen since 2021, a hybrid-working model (part travelling to work, and part at home), has become the ‘new normal’ for around a quarter of workers.”
Meanwhile, 44% of workers reported home or hybrid working and 56% reported only travelling to work in the last seven days (September 2022 to January 2023 – the most recent data available). A higher rate reported hybrid working, with 28% reporting hybrid working and 16% reporting working from home only. A higher rate of workers travelling to work (46%) reported not being able to work at home compared with those who travelled to work but could work from home (10%).
