Where are the best sites to look for and post nonprofit jobs?

This article reviews and rates 31 sites for several specific criteria, and includes a Table of Contents and the Tom Battin Awards for Best Nonprofit Job Sites.

We’re grateful to Tom and many Blue Avocado readers who sent in their suggestions for creating this very useful resource.

For this article, we revisited, updated, and expanded the job websites we reviewed in our original piece for Blue Avocado (2009). We’ve also dropped some of the original ones. One important addition to this update are sites that use “web crawlers” to find jobs posted anywhere on the web, and then aggregate them for you.

First, the Tom Battin Awards for Best Nonprofit Job Sites:

Best all-around: Idealist
Best nonprofit site: Opportunity Knocks
Best commercial site: Simply Hired
Best international: Devex

But don’t ignore the other 27 sites in this directory! Many have special features that will make them the best for you.

About job sites

Job sites serve two audiences: job seekers and employers. Job seekers can look for potential nonprofit positions as

well as upload their résumés so that employers can seek them out. In addition, many sites offer tools to create and track cover letters, flag job postings, set up alerts for new listings, and track applications. For nonprofit employers, such job sites allow them to post jobs, search posted résumés to find candidates, and purchase recruitment services to enhance their hiring campaigns.

This is far from a complete list. We have focused on sites that:

Are either exclusively for nonprofit jobs or have a substantial number of nonprofit jobs
Update listings regularly
Include special, helpful features for either employers or job-seekers
Are either national or localized enough to be helpful.

Canadian listings are in a the regional category.

We have not included the hundreds of

websites, such as those of nonprofit associations where members can post openings, nor did we try to find all the

listservs and association newsletters where members post openings.

Criteria for rating

To critique the sites for usefulness, we established criteria to allow for comparisons:

How easy or hard is the site to navigate?
What is available for free?
What paid services are available?
How many job listings does each have?
Are jobs posted directly to the site by employers or does the site use a “web crawler” to aggregate jobs posted elsewhere?
Are there useful resources to help the job seeker and employer be successful?

Some sites allow you to send your request directly through to employers, while for others you need to create and send your own email. Some allow you to search on types of organizations, while others simply put them all into the same batch.

We like sites that help you get background on the nonprofit that has posted job listings and when they have interactive support and help for visitors. For those that allow you to post your résumé, we looked for flexibility in format, ability to edit and re-post résumés, and whether they include tagging for potential employers. In particular, we liked the ability to be sent an email when certain types of jobs appear.

We also wanted to see whether the site provided articles, links to relevant resources, how-to guides, and tools to help applicants find the right job.

To suggest changes: To suggest changes and additions, please submit the full listing as you believe it should be posted, along with your contact information to editor@blueavocado.org. Making the suggested changes is at our discretion. In addition, everyone is encouraged to add information and experiences in the Comments section at the end of the article.

Special thanks to Blue Avocado readers for sending along additional ideas for sites and direction.

I am surprised and very disappointed that you didn’t include any of the state associations of nonprofits that have job boards in your regional listings. The following State Associations of Nonprofits have their own job board as well as the National Council of Nonprofits (http://www.councilofnonprofits.org/): Alabama Alaska Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Hawaii Idaho Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Montana New Hampshire New Jersey North Carolina North Dakota Oklahoma Pennsylvania Texas Utah Washington DC Wisconsin It’s a disservice to your readers to not include these job boards as well. When I was relocating from NYC to MD/DC, I used the state association websites boards, as they are full of many local opportunities – more so than Monster, or even Opportunity Knocks. Full disclosure: I work for Maryland Nonprofits, where we do charge for nonmembers to post their jobs on our site; nonprofit members can post for free.

  Mr Weinrich – Thank you for taking the time to review and comment on the jobsite directory article. I can understand your disappointment – your suggestion is an important contribution. As I mentioned in the article, we don’t mean this to be a complete list and suggest to all that they tap networks of individuals and organizations in their chosen field of interest or geographic area to obtain the most recent resources. When we put together the initial article in 2009 both Blue Avocado and I inquired of our networks for recommendations of job sites for nonprofit positions. I also did a fairly extensive search through Google of listings that keyed on “nonprofit jobs” or “nonprofit careers” and such. Since publication in 2009, Blue Avocado left open the comments section and I’ve received a number of additional ideas for sites to consider. Specific to the “regional” sites, these are largely recommendations from local nonprofit management centers and, because of space, I tried to provide examples rather than an exhaustive list. Surprisingly, your recommended sites were not previously mentioned or found but I am glad you took the time to send it along. It sounds like it was quite helpful to you. I will review it in more detail and see if perhaps Blue Avocado can add the National Council's site in this current version. I appreciate your help in building this community resource. Best regards, Tom Battin

Thank you for sending us this report! We are honored to be listed as the top regional job board for nonprofit job seekers and employers. We have grown rapidly in the last year, and are now working on marketing to downstate Illinois employers and job seekers. We plan to expand to another state soon. Your nonprofit job sites directory has been very useful to me as administrator of npo.net. I get occasional calls from npo.net users who are relocating to another region in the country, and wonder if npo.net is available in that area. I use your directory as a resource to refer them to a site that focuses on the area where they are relocating. Thanks for the invaluable service you provide nonprofits and job seekers across the country! Jean Newcomer Lumity NPO.net

Like your previous writer, I am also in Illinois, in the Chicago area. I would love to see an expanded Encore Careers program with additional fellowships come to the Chicago area. I am a certified teacher, and the education field is hard to get into in this area. With a new, forward-thinking mayor and administration, the time is perfect to expand nonprofit services and create jobs here!

My name is Zach Halper and I work at The NonProfit Times. I read your latest job sites directory, and I thought it was really well done. It’s hard to pick the best of the best, but you did a good job. It’s obviously too late to suggest a new addition to the list, but I was hoping you could find some place to mention our job board on your site (or at least consider it for the next installment of the directory). The site is called The Nonprofit Jobseeker (http://www.nonprofitjobseeker.com). NPT has had a career center for a few years now, but we have made a lot of improvements in the last few months, so we are working hard to get people more aware of it. The site is free for job seekers, and contains jobs of all experience levels (though we have had a flood of executive jobs recently).

Thanks, Zach Halper NPTimes

  Thanks Zach. I appreciate the suggestion. I will look at the site and see if we might be able to amend the existing listing if appropriate. Tom

Hi Tom, Green jobs is the fastest growing job sector these days and a lot of these jobs are at non-profits, industry associations, and research labs. I understand that compared to the overall non-profit world, the number of green non-profit jobs may be small, but I think they are important. So, in your next revision, please consider http://www.thegreenjobbank.com It’s currently the largest and most comprehensive green job search site by the number of jobs (about 10,000 currently). Thanks! Bernard

Hi Tom! I’d like to call your attention to the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), a non-profit organization of colleges, universities, teaching hospitals, and research institutions whose mission is to advance the efforts of our member institutions to recruit and retain outstanding and diverse faculty and staff and to assist dual-career couples. The National HERC website (www.hercjobs.org) provides a comprehensive list of all 12 regional HERCs and includes access to over 14,000 faculty, staff, and executive jobs. I hope you consider us in the next iteration of the directory. Thanks! Paula Alfone, Mid-Atlantic HERC Director (www.midatlanticherc.org)

Hi Tom, thanks for this great list of nonprofit job sites. I’d like to invite you to take a look at the National Nonprofits job board also (https://nationalnonprofits.org/) It’s a relatively new but quickly growing job board that typically has about 1500 active nonprofit jobs from around the country. It includes some great search options that make it easy for job seekers to find what they’re looking for and quickly apply (see https://nationalnonprofits.org/job-seekers). Thanks in advance for considering the site next time you update your article. Cheers, Elizabeth (National Nonprofits Communications Director)

Hello, it’s now 2022, Fall, and post pandemic, the need is even greater to serve the non profit community from my chair. Since this was originally created, has there been any new resources for those looking for jobs in non-profit? Would like to hear about those too. Thanks,
