Check Out These 8 Companies Hiring Right Now
Work-from-home jobs are highly sought after, as they allow employees to work remotely while enjoying the flexibility and freedom that comes with the territory. If you’re looking to join a company that values these perks just as much as you do, read on to learn about eight companies hiring right now—and what it takes to snag one of their coveted work-from-home jobs.
1) Salesforce
Salesforce is a cloud computing company that offers CRM, email marketing, and other software and services. As a result of its popularity among small businesses, it’s one of America’s largest tech companies—and Salesforce is also known for creating inclusive work environments where women have been able to advance quickly. The company also has an impressive record when it comes to supporting remote workers. This makes sense because Salesforce has more than 100 remote offices around world: The company reportedly saves more than $100 million per year in real estate costs by having most of its employees work remotely. In total, about 90% of Salesforce employees telecommute at least part-time. They include both technical staff and top executives who’ve been with the company for decades. For example, cofounder Parker Harris lives in Idaho but still oversees IT operations for all his employees from his local office (the corporation operates 24 hours a day). During conferences with overseas colleagues, he participates via videoconference so he can be seen back home on his computer screens; however, he uses cell phone video calling to interact face-to-face with his U.S.-based team members from their computers while they’re speaking over their webcams.
2) Xerox
The Xerox Corporation is an American technology company. It is best known for its copying, printing, and document management solutions. The company operates in four business segments: Imaging Systems, Document Technology Solutions, Software and Print Systems, and Enterprise Inkjet Systems. Xerox products include multi-function printers (MFPs), laser printers, high-volume color printers, fax machines and multifunction machines. Much of Xerox’s revenue comes from service rather than sales of equipment. This service includes repair, digital scanning and large-format printing up to 120 inches wide.
3) GlaxoSmithKline
As an employee-owned company, GlaxoSmithKline’s work environment is set up to maximize flexibility and mobility among its employees. The company’s long-held mantra of working smarter, not harder has made it one of Forbes’ Top 10 Employers for Remote Jobs—which makes it easy to do your job from home if you live in a state where a lot of GSK employees reside.
4) Verizon
Verizon is well-known for its offerings of wireless, broadband, internet and television services. Additionally, it’s a leading provider of business communications solutions for customers with a range of needs and budgets.
