Modern Admin Weekly | Issue No.003

Hi — Liz here. 👋🏾

With this being my third issue, I’ve started noticing patterns while curating roles each week. One thing that stands out: job listings with unusual perks often seem to have higher employee satisfaction ratings.

That may not always be the case, but I do appreciate when an employer thinks outside the box. From free eggs to a rare 10-year window to exercise stock options, this week’s round-up was a good reminder that if you want to stand out in a sea of opportunities, give prospective hires something to talk about.

🔎 How We Curate

Every role featured in Modern Admin meets the following criteria:

🧑🏽‍💻 Flexibility First — we prioritize remote and hybrid roles that reflect modern teams
💰 Compensation Transparency — if a company knows their budget, so should you
🤝 Culture Check — we look beyond Glassdoor to assess tone & reputation
🗂 Role Integrity — the title should reflect the scope and expectations
🗓️ Recency — preference is given to roles posted within the last ~2 weeks
