FlexProfessionals

FlexProfessionals is a staffing and recruiting firm that connects employers with experienced professionals seeking part-time, fractional, project-based or full-time flexible work, whether hybrid or remote. Its network includes more than 25,000 job seekers, many of them women and caregivers, who prioritize employers with supportive, flexible workplaces. Employers can hire on an hourly or permanent basis, and the firm works with businesses and nonprofits of every size across many industries.

The founders started the company in 2010 after struggling themselves to find quality part-time work when returning to the workforce after career breaks. Their mission is to remove the stigma around part-time work, remote work and career gaps. The firm helps job seekers stay in the workforce, return after a break or change careers, and its own team members choose when, where and how they work.
