Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find instructional design jobs?
Start with job boards built for L&D, like The Learning Guild, eLearning Industry and EdTechJobs.io. Then add general boards like LinkedIn and Indeed, and check staffing agencies and eLearning vendors directly. The Career Hub groups all of these by where you want to work, so you can pick a path and go.
What job titles should I search besides “instructional designer”?
Try Learning Experience Designer, eLearning Developer, Curriculum Designer, Learning Designer and Instructional Technologist. Training Specialist and L&D Specialist also turn up a lot of design work. Many companies use different titles for the same job, so searching several titles finds roles you’d otherwise miss.
Are there remote instructional design jobs?
Yes. Remote and hybrid roles are common in instructional design, especially at tech companies, eLearning vendors and staffing agencies. Use the “Remote only” option in the Career Hub job search to filter LinkedIn, Indeed or Google Jobs for remote roles.
Which staffing agencies hire instructional designers?
Kelly, Adecco and Clarity Consultants regularly place instructional designers in contract and full-time roles. Agencies are a good way into large companies that don’t post every opening publicly. The Career Hub lists these under Staffing Agencies.
Can I find freelance or contract instructional design work?
Yes. Platforms like Catalant connect independent consultants with company projects, and staffing agencies place many contract roles. Contract work is also a fast way to build portfolio pieces and references.
Do I need a portfolio to get an instructional design job?
Most hiring managers expect one. A portfolio shows how you design, not just what you’ve done. If you’re short on samples, eLearningDesign.org has interactive tools you can use to build polished portfolio pieces quickly.
How can AI help with my instructional design job search?
AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini can search for openings, compare roles to your experience and help tailor your resume. The Career Hub includes a ready-to-copy prompt you can paste into any of them to run a focused L&D job search.
Where do instructional designers network?
The Learning Guild, the Online Learning Consortium and L&D Shakers are active communities for learning professionals. Many roles are filled through referrals, so joining conversations in these groups and on LinkedIn can lead to jobs that never get posted.
How often is the New This Week job list updated?
The New This Week list updates every Tuesday and Thursday. It shows instructional design and L&D jobs posted in the last three days, with job data from Himalayas.
Is the L&D Career Resource Hub free?
Yes. The Career Hub is free to use. It’s a curated starting point from eLearningDesign.org that links you directly to job boards, agencies, employers and communities in learning and development.
