"CEO Reveals the Biggest Red Flag for 'Fake Flexibility' in Companies"
Some companies are misleading job candidates with false promises of remote work and flexible hours, a tactic known as "fake flexibility," to attract talent in a competitive labor market. Molly Johnson-Jones, CEO of Flexa Careers, warns job seekers to watch out for red flags such as vague language in job descriptions, the need to request flexibility, and lack of discussion about flexibility during interviews. Genuine flexible companies will provide clear details about their policies and benefits, while those offering "fake flexibility" may use noncommittal language or make it difficult for employees to access flexible arrangements.
