Flexible working is important to many people for different reasons, but it is something that
can be difficult to broach during a job interview. If flexible working arrangements are
important to you, it is worth taking time to consider why and what you are looking for. In
doing this, you are then prepared for finding out which companies offer these kinds of
arrangements. These are some ways of finding companies with flexible work
arrangements.

Company Website
If you take a look at the company website, you might find some information on flexible
working arrangements and whether these are in place. If you look at the careers section
and the job descriptions, you will probably find out more about the working arrangements.
Some companies will mention whether they allow working from home or other flexible
working, while others may not, as they might not want to encourage it.
Online Research
You can find out more about companies with flexible working arrangements by searching
online. If 'flexible working' is mentioned in the job description or the advert, this should
pull through by searching on Google.
Ask Connections
It may also be worth asking current employees at the company for more information on
their working hour's arrangement, if you have connections. If not, you may want to use
LinkedIn and ask one of your connections to introduce you, if there is a link between the
two. Many companies won't actively promote flexible working, but will be willing to
consider it if means getting you on board.
Subtle Questions
There is always the chance to ask subtle questions during the application process. If there
are set hours, you may want to ask the recruiter if there is any flexibility. If the working
arrangements are rigid and it doesn't suit you, there is no point in going through the rest of
the process. If there is some flexibility, this is something you can explore later at the
interview stage. It is important that you don't just focus on flexible working during the
initial call as it may seem that it is the only aspect you care about. Try to be subtle about it,
as much as you can.
