A remote worker has shared her tips for finding a job online, and one involves using some job websites you might not be familiar with – but they could be the secret to success
An experienced remote worker has shared her advice for those seeking work-from-home opportunities.
Taking to TikTok, where she shares tips on maximising online income and side hustles, user Sarah stated: “This may be controversial, but stop searching for jobs online using LinkedIn and Indeed.” While these can be great places to find a new gig, Sarah recommends three lesser-known alternatives as the best sources to find a suitable position in 2025.
“If you’ve been relying on LinkedIn and Indeed, you might want to reconsider! 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
Regarding Remoteive, 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’s third and final suggestion was described as “perfect for those who want flexibility and travel-friendly remote jobs”. She further explained: “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, meanwhile, over a quarter of working adults in Britain (28%) were hybrid working (part-time in the office, part-time from home) in autumn 2024. The ONS stated: “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. “.
In the most recent data available (September 2022 to January 2023), 44% of workers reported home or hybrid working, while 56% reported only travelling to work in the last seven days. Of these, 28% reported hybrid working and 16% reported working from home exclusively. Interestingly, a higher rate of workers who travelled to work (46%) reported they were unable to work from home, compared to those who could work from home but still chose to travel to work (10%).
