Job listing websites are the best and fastest way to look for companies and employees that are currently looking to hire people with your skills and experience, whether that’s for full-time, part-time, or temporary jobs – with contract jobs also being available on most of them. Unfortunately, many of them aren’t worth the trouble, and signing up and answering a list of questions they ask can cost you lots of precious time.
I’ve used so many job listing websites in the past, that I can’t even start counting them. Most of the time I was in desperate need to land a job position as quickly as possible, as I was running out of money, and I remember how frustrated I was getting with some job listing websites that they kept on asking me hundreds of questions only to find out in the end that they were basically “ghost towns” with bad job offerings and design philosophy.
What exactly are job listing websites and how do they work?
Job listing websites are very simple and straightforward: Most of them usually have a page from where you can find the latest job offerings that have been posted by companies, individuals, and employees in general. Once you find the ones that you’re interested in, you can apply for the job – some let you apply immediately from their websites while others will redirect you to another website.
Most of those job listing websites will also let you filter your results, whether that’s searching for full-time or part-time jobs, looking for a specific salary, checking offerings in specific locations, and so much more. Some of those websites do not require job seekers to create an account, while others only let applying for a job after signing up.
Some are completely free, others are freemium (meaning that they provide both a free and premium plan), and others are premium, giving you access to robust features and options to land a job even faster – or that’s what they promise.
Why it’s important to use multiple job listing websites and not just one?
If you’re looking for a job, it’s important to use more than one of those websites, as many of them usually have their own deals with companies and employees who are only posting their job offerings to them exclusively. With that in mind, a company that may be a perfect fit for you and your skills may only use a specific job listing website.
Many job listing websites try to close exclusive partnerships with companies and employees with the promise that they’ll only send them the best of the rest, and they’re doing that by asking job seekers various questions, letting them upload their resumes, and more. For a job seeker, making sure that they have full access to all the job offerings that may exist in their field is important to use multiple websites, even if that may take a bit more time in the beginning.
Each of these websites has its own features and options too, meaning that some may give you the option to send your resume with 1 click, while others are redirecting their users to the company’s job application forms. Whichever you choose to use, more options mean higher chances of landing the perfect job.
The 10 best job listing websites for 2025
If you’re looking for a job, the following job listing websites are among the best you could possibly find, and the ones that they’ll make your life a whole lot easier. Many of them do not require you to sign up for an account, instead, they redirect you to the company’s job hiring application form, which is quick, painless, and easy.
Editor’s Note: I’ll keep updating this article with new job listing websites as I find them, while friends and colleagues also helped a lot by recommending some of them, which I then used to see how good they actually were. I won’t be adding any website that’s not useful or has only a few job offerings.
1. WeWorkRemotely.com
Sign-up Requirement: No
Cost: Free
This is by far one of my favorite job listing websites and one that I always recommend. On their homepage, you’ll find the most recent job listings posted during the last 7 days, and by going to their menu and hovering to “Jobs” you can browse job listings based on your preferences and skills.
No sign-up is needed and you can apply for a job by either sending an email or visiting the company’s job application form. Over 1,000 new positions are posted every month on the website, so there are many opportunities awaiting.
With a quick first look at the job listings that are posted in We Work Remotely, you’ll find many well-known companies, and the website is being trusted by the world’s leading companies, including Google, GitHub, Amazon, Basecamp, and more.
2. Remote.co
Sign-up Requirement: No
Cost: Free
Mentioned by some of the world’s most popular websites and companies, including LinkedIn, Business Insider, CNBC, Fast Company, and the New York Times Wirecutter, just to name a few, Remote.co has thousands of job listings already available on their website. It’s also getting updated quite often, and each day you visit the website you’ll see new job listings posted for various fields.
As the name suggests, it’s all about finding a remote job, whether that’s for sales management, customer service, recruiting, designing, data analysis, and so much more. You can find an available position in almost any field that you’re interested in, and that’s what makes Remote.co an amazing choice.
Remote.co makes it easy to search for specific positions, including if you’re looking for a company that offers 100% remote work, hybrid remote work, gives you the option to work remotely, or even looking for no remote work listings. You can also search for freelance listings, get hired full-time by an employee, or for a temporary position.
3. RemoteOK.com
Sign-up Requirement: No
Cost: Free
Whenever I visit Remoteok.com, I can’t stop but feel that when the creator behind this popular website was designing it, he was looking at his competitors saying, “Why so serious?”. Searching for job positions in Remoteok.com is both fun and easy, thanks to the colorful design and the “HOT” and “NEW” GIF budgets that help you understand if an offering is new or popular.
Remoteok.com doesn’t have many pages, instead, you can look at it as a search engine that helps you find various job offerings, including specific ones based on your skills and personal preferences. It’s easy to use, and it lets you filter the results and only search for job listings based on the field, location, salary, and benefits.
You can also sort the results by the most popular choices, latest jobs, highest-paid options, most applied, and more. Based on SimilarWeb’s statistics, Remoteok.com has been in the #1 remote jobs board multiple times, making it one of the most popular job listing websites in the world.
4. WorkingNomads.com
Sign-up Requirement: No
Cost: Free & Premium
WorkingNomads.com is focused on 100% remote jobs for digital working nomads and remote workers, and it’s an easy-to-use website with hundreds of job listings. Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, or contract jobs, it has available positions in almost any country, and unlike many other similar websites, it doesn’t require an account. Instead, users are being redirected to their employee’s or company’s website to apply for the job.
When you’re using WorkingNomads.com, you can either search through the available job listings or look at the companies that are hiring right now. You can easily filter the results based on your location, position type, salary, and posted date. There are many options when it comes to the job categories, including administrators, consulters, customer service, designers, developers, educators, marketers, and so much more.
There are currently over 30,000 remote job listings available on WorkingNomads.com, but not all of them are available publicly. The website offers its own monthly subscription, which you can get for $17.95 per month if you want access to 10x more job postings, high-quality job postings directly from better employers, tailored job alerts, an ad-free experience, and advanced search with tagged categorization, skills, and location.
5. Indeed.com
Sign-up Requirement: Yes
Cost: Free
If you ever searched for “job listings” or “best job listing websites” online, then you’ll already know Indeed.com, so there’s no need for introductions really. It’s a website that comes in multiple languages and it’s ideal even for people looking to get hired from a local company or employer, and you can start immediately and without the requirement of creating an account.
You can search for job listings based on your location, including by state, city, or country, find specific companies that are currently hiring, find a job listing based on your preferred salary, and even read hundreds of company reviews to learn more about them before applying for a position. Unlike some websites that currently offer only 100% remote job listings, Indeed.com has it all, and it has been translated into 62 languages – each of them including job listings for that specific language/country.
You can also create an account and specifically search for job listings based on your requirements, such as based on the preferred salary and pay method (per hour, day, month, or year). If you have an account, you can upload your resume and not only send it with 1-click on any employee, but your profile will be publicly accessible by companies that currently looking to hire.
Editor’s Note: While I was using Indeed.com to register and see what they’re offering for job seekers, I had to verify my phone number but the website gave me an error that I used the wrong code (although it was the right one). By re-sending it again and completing the captcha I was able to complete my registration.
6. Flexjobs.com
Sign-up Requirement: Yes
Cost: Premium
Before we get started: Flexjobs.com requires you to sign up for an account if you want to apply for jobs. Is it worth it? Yes, it totally is! First and foremost, the company says that their team is spending over 200 hours per day verifying new job listings, and based on what they say, they have over 128,700k remote and flexible jobs available on their platform.
The most crucial thing that you’ll need to know about Flexjobs.com is that it only has legit job listings, meaning that you won’t be facing any issues with scams or junk offerings. Oh, and did I say there are no ads on their website? It’s also being used by some of the most popular companies in the world to hire new talent, including Spotify, Reddit, Netflix, Dropbox, and HubSpot, just to name a few.
Unfortunately, the service is not provided for free, but it’s fairly cheap to get full access, as they give you 14-day full access to all job listings for only $2,95. You can get a 3-month full access for only $9.95 per month, or their annual plan for $5,95 per month. If you’re unhappy with their service, you can ask for your money back, as they give you a money-back guarantee for the first 14 days.
7. GlassDoor.com
Sign-up Requirement: Yes
Cost: Free
GlassDoor.com is not just a job listing website, it’s basically a social media kind of platform that lets job seekers post on their timelines, interact with others by liking or commending their posts, and has a list with job offerings from various companies and employees. What do the users post on GlassDoor.com? Well, from tips to getting a new job to people sharing their stories of how they were laid off unexpectedly, there’s way too much content that you can read.
The funny thing with GlassDoor.com is that not everyone is a job seeker, with many users being employees looking to hire new talents, sharing their ideas, and helping other employees or job seekers. There are authors, content creators, founders, CEOs, and many people in different positions interacting with everyone on the platform, which makes it an absolute pleasure and ideal for making new connections with people in your field.
I had lots of fun using the website and interacting with other people, and I was constantly seeing new job offerings getting published, which is the point. It is surely not for everyone, especially for those who aren’t looking for a platform with other users, but it’s a great choice overall.
8. Freelancer.com
Sign-up Requirement: Yes
Cost: Free
With over 78 million registered users and 21 million total jobs posted, Freelancer.com is one the biggest and most popular websites in the world for companies and individuals who are looking to hire freelancers from all around the world. The job offerings are 100% remote, and freelancers can sign up for free, create an account, and add each and every service that they provide, along with the amount of money they charge per hour.
With so many freelancers working on Freelancer.com, the competition is higher than ever before, especially when considering the fact that many freelancers on the platform already have hundreds (if not thousands) of reviews by individual employees and companies that have worked with them. On platforms like that, people with the best rating tend to get the most offers, and they usually can charge even more.
Each freelancer has a total rating and all the reviews they’ve left him, all publicly available on their profiles, making it easier for anyone who wants to hire someone to make sure that they’re professionals and they deliver on time. Signing up and creating a professional-looking profile on Freelancer.com is fairly easy and fast, and you can even upload some of your recent works as a portfolio, which is crucial if you want to get new job offers faster.
9. Guru.com
Sign-up Requirement: Yes
Cost: Free
Guru.com is a bit different than other websites. Instead of providing a big list with job listings, companies, employees, and individuals can simply publicly post their job offerings, and freelancers (like you) can then send a Quote to get the job. Unfortunately, only the creator of the job offer can select which person will get the job, and the better your resume the more chances you have to get it.
Usually, the persons who post the job offerings will provide full descriptions of what they’re asking, how much they’re willing to spend, and provide a sample of the work they’re looking for. For each individual who posts a new job, you can see if they posted other offerings in the past, and if they did, how many times they paid the freelancers (jobs paid and paid invoices).
There is also feedback on each and everyone from 0% to 100%, letting you know how they’ve been rated by others – if their rating is low, you can most probably avoid sending a Quote to them. You can also see how much money an employer/individual has spent on the platform from paying freelancers. New job listings are getting submitted every day, and refreshing the website every few minutes is a great way to quickly find new offerings and send a quote.
10. LinkedIn.com
Sign-up Requirement: Yes
Cost: Premium
LinkedIn is not just a professional social media platform, it’s a beast with over 940+ million users, based on Statica’s forecasts. Now owned by Microsoft, it’s a great place to make sure you have a professional presence, meaning that you’ve created a profile with all your skills and experience, your working history, and any testimonials that you may have from previous works. Basically, LinkedIn can act as your second resume and a way for people to easily find your account and connect with you.
Millions of companies and employees are already using the platform to connect with other people and hire new talents, and there are thousands of job offerings already publicly available. New job listings are getting published every few seconds, and you can find many opportunities both in your local area and worldwide, with a huge list of offerings available for people willing to work remotely.
It’s not a place where you create an account and simply wait for someone to hire you though. You’ll have to spend a lot of time sending messages to companies and applying for jobs, and the faster you are at answering their questions, the faster you’ll land a job. Joining groups that are based on your professional field is also important, and interacting with other users is crucial if you want to make yourself known on the platform.
But even if you’re not looking at applying there, having a professional-looking account is important, as many companies and employees may search there to find more information about you.
Conclusion: It’s all about applying for jobs
If you’re looking for a job position, applying for as many as you can in your field is crucial nowadays, and the websites mentioned above are some of the best of the rest for this. And no, there’s no reason to spend your money on premium job listing websites, but you can try them out if you’re not in a hurry and you want the best possible position, especially when it comes to popular companies.
Do keep in mind that these sites have tremendous user bases and millions of monthly visits, so competition is usually higher than expected – but even so, with a good portfolio and by staying consistent you can get any job that you want.
If you know any job listing websites that I haven’t mentioned, please take the time and recommend them in the comments section down below. I will review them and if they’re good enough, I’ll update the article with even more, helping more people who may be in need.
