While some companies are pulling back on flexibility, others, like Airbnb and Pinterest, are celebrating one year since permanently switching to remote or hybrid work.
Even as the number of remote job opportunities dwindles, demand for flexible work remains high: Nearly half of employees want more flexibility in where and when they work, according to a January 2023 report from Monster, which surveyed more than 1,000 workers.
That being said, the remote job market has gotten more competitive. Yelp, for example, has seen a 200% increase in the number of applicants per general and administrative job posting since the company went fully remote in 2022, compared to 2019, the company said earlier this year.
Tech, marketing and health care are among the top industries hiring for remote and hybrid jobs in 2023, according to FlexJobs. Many companies in these industries have adopted either remote-first or trust-based approaches that see employees working from home full-time or choosing when, and how, they join their team in the office.
Here are 10 companies that switched to a permanent flexible work model and are hiring now:

Industry: Technology
Remote work plans: HubSpot employees have three flexible work options: @office, which means coming into the office 3 days or more per week; @flex, which means coming into the office 2 days or fewer each week; or @home, which means working remotely. The program, which started in 2021, also lets employees change their choice once per year.
