Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 4-day week jobs

We list 239 companies that match every filter in this combination — specific schedule type, remote policy, and geography. Compound company pages are naturally smaller than single-dimension pages because fewer employers tick every box. Each new listing is meaningful at this intersection. Expand any company above for their full profile, schedule policy, and open roles.
Employers currently featured here include 4 Day Week - Global, 448 Studio, and AWO. Companies appearing at this compound intersection have typically made deliberate choices across all the filters — remote-friendly and reduced-hours together is a distinct subset of the broader 4-day-week market. Click through to any company profile to see their public statement on schedule, remote policy, and current openings.
Yes — compound pages narrow the set of matching companies significantly compared to single-filter browsing. That makes each listed company more valuable per-match: they've made deliberate policy choices across every dimension you care about. If the list feels thin, relax one filter (often country or remote-specificity) to see nearby matching employers — the sidebar and related-searches section show adjacent pages.
Start with the schedule policy — is it truly fixed, or a flexible arrangement that could shift? Confirm the remote policy covers your location, timezone, and long-term work arrangement. Check how long the company has run the schedule; companies with 18+ months of operating data are more predictable than newer adopters. Each company profile above includes their stated policy; interviews are the place to verify day-to-day practice.
Not always — some profiles show companies that have adopted the matching policies but currently have no open roles. Those still appear on the index because the 4dayweek.io company pages support research and discovery beyond immediate hiring. Use the 'Hiring now' filter in the sidebar to narrow to companies with at least one open position. Job alerts notify you when previously-quiet companies post new roles.
