Getting a remote job is all the rage in 2025. But you know what’s even better? Landing a work-from-home role at a company that not only allows you to work flexibly, but also finances your vacations. Yes, you read that right. Some employers are so generous and passionate about their employees’ wellbeing that they actually pay for you to travel and have vacation.

15 Companies Hiring Remote Jobs In 2025

Quick tip: It’s better to apply directly on the company’s career page, than to find their roles on third-party job boards and apply through them. You have a higher chance of your application being visible when you apply via the employer’s website.

3 Common Mistakes Remote Job-Seekers Make

While you’re seeking work-from-home roles, you should always bear in mind that the competition is fierce, with a ratio of three applicants for every remote job listing on LinkedIn, compared to 0.5 for every onsite job vacancy. This means you need to deliberately avoid the mistakes most other job seekers make when applying for remote roles, so you have an increased chance of success.

Here are some common mistakes to avoid when applying for work from home opportunities:

Sure, you want a job at an employer that provides a generous compensation package and offers remote work and unlimited PTO. But if you lead with perks and your LinkedIn posts or resume screams “I’m looking for flexibility,” you’ll become more of a liability than an asset.

“Open to remote work” doesn’t signal anything of value whatsoever. Why would an employer or recruiter want to know more if your headline simply tells them what they already know about the majority of the workforce?

Use this valuable real estate to do this instead:

Certain industries and roles tend to do exceptionally well and are extremely popular as far as remote work opportunities are concerned. FlexJobs data shows that the most in-demand remote jobs of 2025, still hiring right now, include software engineering, product management, project management, and customer success, to name a few.

So it certainly helps if you have the skills for these roles, as it would be easier for you to find a fully remote job with extra benefits. But on top of these, remote skills are all about being self-motivated and productive when working independently, and mastering digital fluency and cross-cultural collaboration.

Quick note: If you have certifications or completed courses and training from reputable platforms like Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, AWS, HubSpot, Codeacademy, or IBM SkillsBuild, this can really help anchor your skills and demonstrate your commitment to professional development, ongoing growth, and learning to a prospective employer.

Ready To Get Hired By A Remote Employer?

How ready are you to secure a remote job offer should an opportunity present itself this week? It’s not enough to want flexibility, travel and vacation benefits paid for, or fully remote or hybrid work. Everyone wants those too.

The real question is, what can you offer the employer? What problem do you solve? What justifies them hiring you to fill their gap?

Which employers are still hiring remote jobs in 2025?

Companies like Abbvie, Canonical, Hubspot, and the employers in the list above (Calendly, Expedia, Tripadvisor, and so on) frequently have remote job openings.

You can use remote and flexible work-focused job boards like We Work Remotely, Working Nomads, FlexJobs, and Y Combinator’s remote job board. Traditional job boards like Indeed and LinkedIn Jobs include remote filters too. Most importantly, find the roles directly on the career pages of the companies you’re applying to, and apply there. Also don’t forget that your network is your most powerful asset, so actively grow it and reach out to them for word-of-mouth job referrals or recommendations.

Remote work may be evolving, but it’s certainly not disappearing any time yet. Despite big-name employers forcing their employees to return to the office, there are plenty of others who are remote-first or encourage a remote-friendly workplace.
