The best free remote job sites for people in the US
Good free places to find remote jobs in the US are Remotejobify, for fully remote jobs open to people in the US with proof from each listing; LinkedIn and Indeed, for the most jobs overall; and remote-only boards such as We Work Remotely, Remote OK and Himalayas. All are free to search. The catch is that many “remote” jobs are hybrid, or only hire in some states, so check where a job is open before you apply.
Where to look, and what each is good for
- Remotejobify lists remote jobs open to people in the US, from companies’ own job boards, read every day. Each job shows the line from its listing that proves it. Match me reads your CV and picks the ones that fit you best.
- LinkedIn has a huge number of jobs and is where many recruiters look for people. Set the location to the United States and choose Remote, then check each listing.
- Indeed is a big job board with lots of US jobs. Search for remote or work from home, and expect hybrid and local jobs mixed in.
- We Work Remotely, Remote OK and Himalayas only list remote jobs, often at startups and tech companies. Read the region on each one, as some only hire in certain countries or time zones.
- FlexJobs checks its listings by hand but charges a membership. See our free FlexJobs alternative guide.
How Remotejobify is different
Most job sites show you every remote job and leave you to work out which ones are really remote and open to you. Remotejobify works that out first and shows the listing’s own words as proof. Browsing is free, with no sign-up.
When another site may suit you better
We read companies’ own job boards, so jobs posted only on a job board won’t be with us. If you want local or hybrid work, or want recruiters to find you, use LinkedIn or Indeed alongside us. For a fuller comparison with the remote-only boards, see our We Work Remotely alternative guide.

Questions people ask
What is the best free remote job site in the US?
It depends what you want. LinkedIn and Indeed have the most jobs, but many are hybrid or local. For fully remote jobs open to people in the US, with proof from each listing, Remotejobify lists them free, and Match me picks the ones that fit your CV.
Should I pay for a remote job site?
You shouldn’t need to. Most job sites are free for job seekers, and you should never pay an employer to get a job. Some sites, like FlexJobs, charge a membership for extras.
Why can’t I apply to some remote jobs from my state?
Some US companies only hire remote workers in the states where they are set up for payroll and tax. The listing usually says so, in a line like “open to candidates in these states”, so read it before you apply.
Where do the jobs on Remotejobify come from?
From companies’ own job boards, which we read every day. There are no paid listings, and every job links straight to the company’s own post.
