Trade Me Jobs has seen a surge in the number of searches for "work from home" opportunities. More Kiwis are looking for flexible work arrangements following the coronavirus lockdown, forcing job search websites to adapt. Jobseekers can now hone in on remote employment opportunities after the Seek website added "work from home" as a location option. "We’re also encouraging employers to use the words ‘work from home’ in their advertisements if flexible working is something they would be open to." "We expect that flexible working arrangements will likely become even more important for job hunters and something employers will have to consider as we move forward."
