How to find legitimate remote and work-from-home jobs
Remote roles exist in customer support, back-office, healthcare administration, sales and technology, and they attract more scams than any other category. This guide covers where real remote roles are posted and how to verify an employer in under a minute.
Where these jobs are posted
Use the remote filters on the big boards plus the dedicated remote boards, and always confirm the posting on the employer's own domain.
Large free remote board, strongest in tech, design and support.
Remote listings and company profiles.
Hand-screened listings behind a paid membership; try the free boards first.
Staffing agency with remote call-center and administrative placements.
Use the 'Remote' location filter and search for 'work from home' and 'remote' separately.
Search remote roles
Open 'remote' searches on Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter and more.
Employers that recruit through their own portals
These employers run established remote or hybrid teams and recruit through their own portals, which list eligible states.
TTEC
Typically posts: Customer service, technical support and sales, including remote roles.
Remote postings list eligible states and equipment requirements.
CVS Health
Typically posts: Retail pharmacy, pharmacy technician, customer care and corporate.
Pharmacy technician trainee roles describe the certification process in the posting.
Amazon
Typically posts: Fulfillment and sortation centers, delivery stations, corporate and tech.
Hourly roles have a dedicated portal; applications are short and usually followed by a scheduled appointment or assessment.
Kaiser Permanente

Common roles and what they typically pay
We don't publish pay figures of our own. Each link opens the Bureau of Labor Statistics profile for that occupation, with national median pay, typical entry requirements and outlook.

- Information clerk / schedulerPay & outlook (BLS)
How the application process usually works
- Verify the employer
Find the role on the company's own careers domain before applying anywhere else. If a recruiter contacted you, confirm their email domain matches.
- Check state eligibility and equipment
Remote postings list the states they can hire in and the internet speed or workspace required. Employers provide computers; you should never buy equipment.
- Complete the assessment
Remote support roles often include a typing or customer-scenario assessment.
- Video interview
Legitimate employers interview by phone or video, never only by text chat.
Pitfalls to avoid
Any fee at all
Equipment, training, background checks and 'starter kits' are never paid by the applicant.
Interviews only over chat apps
Telegram, Signal or text-only interviews followed by an instant offer are a classic scam pattern.
Checks sent to you
Depositing a check to buy equipment from the employer's 'vendor' leaves you liable when it bounces.
Pay far above market
Compare any offer with the Bureau of Labor Statistics profile for the role. Double the median for data entry is bait.
Frequently asked questions
The boards are real and widely used, but individual postings vary. Always confirm the role on the employer's own website and never pay anything.
Not always. Employers hire where they are registered for payroll, so postings list eligible states.
Employers typically ship a computer. You usually need reliable broadband and a quiet workspace; the posting states the requirements.
We don't publish pay figures. Use the Bureau of Labor Statistics links above and the wage stated in the posting.
Report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to the platform where the contact began. If you shared your Social Security number, follow the steps at IdentityTheft.gov.
