About us

We work with companies to get them discovered for what makes them unique; verifying them through our two stage Flexification™ process and matching them with millions of users searching by what truly matters to them.

Our 15,000 filter combinations give personally tailored matches for whatever is most important to you. Whether that's career progression, a friendly culture, a diverse team, or flexible work - if it's important to you, it's on Flexa.

Approach to diversity & inclusion

Diversity and inclusion matters to us hugely, but we're not perfect. We are a very diverse team in many respects (neurodiversity, disability, gender, and more), but we can always do better. We welcome and encourage diverse applications, so please do reach out with your wants, needs, circumstances, concerns. We're here to help!

Flexible working at Flexa

🤸‍♂️ As you'd hope, we're a super flexible place to work. All our roles can be performed flexibly with respect to both location and hours. We operate with a culture of autonomy - as long as work gets done efficiently and to a high standard, we don't mind where, when, or how!

🌱 We are a team of people who love our lives outside of work (pottery, cookery, cycling, running, and swimming are a few of the hobbies we enjoy), as well as our jobs. We work core hours of 11-3, roughly, and outside of that you can start or finish whenever you want (within reason of course).

🍺 We meet once a month, usually in London on a Thursday in our Hackney office, then off for a team activity and then the pub and out for dinner! If team members live outside of London then we pay for travel and accommodation.

🐶 We also (hugely) welcome dogs and our office is 100% dog friendly!

Remote-first – once a month in our London office • 4.5-day week • Core hours 11–3 • Dog friendly

Last week, we had the best time at RecFest UK! We loved meeting so many amazing people. Here’s a rundown of what we got up to:

🤸 Flexibility Quiz: We kicked things off with a fun competition to test just how flexible companies are with their workplace policies. It was eye-opening to see the variety of approaches out there!

🎪 Data-Driven EVP Session: Our founder and CEO delivered a packed out session on how to leverage data in your Employer Value Proposition (EVP) to attract diverse talent.

Remote-first – once a month in our London office • 4.5-day week • Core hours 11–3 • Dog friendly

This week, Team Flexa got together for our monthly meetup where we co-work, collaborate, and have lots of fun! Each month we chose a different activity for the team to do and this month’s pick was ‘Moo-canoes’. Despite some broken oars and competitive rowing the team had an our-some time paddling through the scenic scenes of east London. These meet-ups are so important for us to spend time together and stay connected. Roll on the next one!

Gruff 🖤

If you haven’t met Gruff yet, he’s the main character at Flexa and the sidekick of our Co-Founders, Molly Johnson-Jones and Maurice O'Brien.

Whilst he often looks a little forlorn, don’t get it twisted - Gruff isn’t a pessimist, he’s a realist. There’s a lot to worry about in this world, but by spending most of his time in his default state of concer...

Boss got you hot ’n’ sweaty? 🥵

Office attire is no fun in the sun ☀️

The novelty of daily 2 for 1 cocktails and small talk at the local [insert bar chain here] soon wears off 🍹

And don’t even get us started on commuting. Still waiting for that air con, huh? 🫠

It doesn't have to be this way 🙏

We're baaaaaaaaack! 👋

Last week was Flexa's annual company-wide summer shutdown, and our team members certainly made the most of their week off ☀️

You'll be pleased to know that Molly and Maurice survived their game of hide 'n' seek with the wild bears and decided to end their honeymoon on a literal high, exploring Canada's stunning glacial lakes by helicopter 🚁

Bears are terrible losers, and as our dear co-founders peered down over the beautiful landscape, they spotted a group of bears angrily waving their furry fists at them 🐻✊

Employee reviews

Flexa's employees have anonymously had their say in what they think of the company

We're a startup, and we work really hard. But that also means I have the ability to learn faster than I would almost anywhere else, be truly autonomous and self-driven, and take on new challenges and opportunities. Personally, this really suits me and I find it really rewarding. If you're looking to progress quickly and learn a lot - Flexa might be the right place for you!

My life has changed completely since joining Flexa - and all for the better! I have complete autonomy over my work and schedule, and I get to work from the peace and quiet of my home. Being remote is perfect for me and suits my preferred way of working (which often changes). We meet once a month which seems to work great for us, and I love being able to see the team (dogs included) in-person for collaboration and social activities! I feel very lucky to be at Flexa and appreciate the difference being here has made to my life.

A very trusting environment! We measure our success on 'output' not 'hours' which means that you get real control over when and how you get your work done - as long as it gets done to a high standard and at pace!

Truly flexible workplace; such a pleasure to work here. It's made such a difference to my lifestyle to be able to work around my life.

Very happy with work/life balance, think I could personally be better at “switching off” and not checking slack when off or away but that’s me not a pressure to do so.
