This page is addressed to people who are not ready for self-employment, who still would like the perceived security of paid employment and a regular pay cheque. When the employee and employer are geographically close, it is more usual for a new recruit to start by working on site, then graduate to telecommuting. It isn't easy . . . And meanwhile . . . It isn't easy . . .
Supply is still greater than demand.
Most companies still prefer to hire people they can easily meet face to face and to have them work at least some of the time at the company's offices. However, during 1999-2000 the market has begun to evolve very rapidly. From a very small base at the beginning of 1999, there are now hundreds of web sites run by both conventional recruitment agencies and new e-businesses, all providing facilities for companies to recruit people and for people to find jobs. Our list of sites identifies those that have specific provision for teleworking, as well as commenting on those that don't.
