FAQs

Most of our jobs are currently located in the DC or Boston metro areas; however, we also work with companies outside of these locations if the job is completely remote and the employer agrees to hire you directly.

Due to tax and administrative requirements, we work almost exclusively with professionals residing in the DC and Boston metro areas. On a limited basis and through direct hire arrangements, we will place candidates living outside the Boston and DC metro areas. Our business clients tend to hire locally, even for virtual opportunities, to encourage participation in on-site meetings and events.

Part-time ranges from as many as 32 hours/week to as few as 10 hours/month.

We do place professionals into full-time work arrangements, as long as the employer agrees to some kind of flexibility. For a job to be considered full-time flexible, the employer must agree to a minimum of 16 hours/week of remote work. The schedule for remote hours is mutually agreed upon by both the employer and the employee. For example, the employer and employee may agree to working from home one day per week, or 6 hours of on-site work each day, with the remaining hours working from home.

Yes. We do place professionals with employers that have short-term or on-going, project-based needs. For example, we have placed professionals at client sites to support proposal development efforts, write a marketing plan, conduct an audit, fill in for an employee on maternity leave, etc.

No, we are not a temporary service, and we do not source for immediate, temporary assignments that are short in duration. We are a staffing firm that specializes in part-time job placements that typically require 10-32 hours/week. The majority of our jobs are permanent placements.

FlexProfessionals works with small, medium, and large businesses in the private, commercial and government contracting sectors. We also work with many non-profits and associations. We have had particular success with small, growing organizations who are also looking for people open to flexible work-arrangements.

We typically are looking for a bachelor’s degree and at least 10 years of professional work experience. If you do not have a college degree but have the required years of work experience, we would love to see your resume too.

We place professionals in a broad range of business fields, including Finance & Accounting, Administration, Sales & Account Management, Marketing/Public Relations/Communications, Business Development, Project Management, IT and Engineering, Technical & Proposal Writing, Human Resources, Web Development, Graphic Design and Legal.

The often-impersonal nature of the job search process can be frustrating to job seekers. We also know that the more candidates we meet, the better job we do filling our business clients’ needs for talent. In an effort to better support and connect with our candidates, we host events such as webinars and virtual meetups to share information with each other. 

We regularly host events to support you in your job search. Our webinars are live, small-group experiences designed with career re-entry and career transition professionals in mind. We also have compiled a comprehensive Job Search Toolkit to help as you transition or return to work. This includes Job Search, Work Productivity, and Technical resources that will help you land a job you love.
