As a Certified Professional Career Coach (CPCC), I work with a lot of different clients. They come from a variety of backgrounds, industries, and experience levels. But, the two things they all seemingly have in common is:
- they want to work remotely AND
- avoid scams
And who could blame them? Job searches are tough enough as is. When you through potential scams into the mix it becomes even more difficult. That’s why I tend to recommend companies that are well known, have a great reputation, and readily hire remote job seekers, like you.
So, if you’re on the hunt for remote work but don’t know where to start your search, check out these 7 trustworthy companies that hire remote workers.
1. Century Link
Century Link is a major service provider for both homes and businesses. In fact, you may even use them for your home internet, phone, or even TV.
As a big-name internet provider, Century Link routinely hires employees to support their many customers. There are even work from home opportunities across the US.
The two main remote jobs at Century Link involve Contact Center and Sales. But, you can also find Product Analyst, System Engineer, and many other career paths too.
Simply head on over to the Jobs Page at Century Link to start your search.

2. O’Reilly Auto Parts
The last time I needed a new car battery, I headed over to my local O’Reilly Auto Parts. You too may have visited one of their locations before for everything from bulbs and wiper blades to batteries and belts.
And while O’Reilly Auto Parts hires locally for their many retail locations, there are also opportunities to work remotely in its Corporate Division.
Corporate Positions at O’Reilly Auto Parts include Digital Marketing, IT, Human Resources, and more. Start your search at the Corporate Employment Page.
Hint: Change the location to “Remote.” (As Pictured Below)

No Scams. Real Remote Jobs.
It can be difficult to identify a real remote job from a scam. And, sorting through the good and bad can really take a lot of time. Instead of devoting the bulk of your job search to scam identification, go straight to the source — real companies with remote jobs.
I’m a BIG proponent of targeting companies. When you target companies, like the ones listed above, you simplify your remote job search. Instead of applying to every single remote job you come across, you narrow your search to companies you actually like.
This involves identifying your career ideals. From there, you can pinpoint remote-friendly companies that align with your unique ideals.

Happily,
