Fall is underway, and the winter holiday season is right around the corner! Companies want to be prepared for the influx of customers, and that means recruiting, hiring, and training seasonal and holiday workers to meet the demands of the upcoming season.

This year, though, the pandemic has had a dramatic effect on seasonal hiring. With consumers spending more time shopping online and opting for home delivery and curbside pickup, many companies are experiencing an increased need for remote workers.

About Holiday Jobs This Year

Not only do remote seasonal jobs help alleviate pressure that the holiday season presents, they can also help workers get back on their feet and bridge the gap between no work (or reduced hours) and full-time employment.

Through the years, FlexJobs has seen a variety of companies hiring for remote temporary, seasonal, and holiday jobs. Many work-from-home holiday jobs are in the customer service and retail industries, but there are also great jobs in the finance and human resources fields.

To help job seekers find seasonal work this fall and winter, FlexJobs has identified 13 companies that are currently recruiting workers for seasonal jobs that can be done from home.
