At Philly Hired, we believe that the heartbeat of the Delaware Valley isn’t just found in its skyscrapers or tech hubs, it’s found in the tireless work of our local non-profits. As Philadelphia’s hyper-local job board, our mission has always been to connect the best regional talent with the best regional opportunities.
Today, we are taking that mission a step further. We are thrilled to announce our official commitment to Pledge 1%, a global movement that encourages companies to donate 1% of their staff time, product, profit, or equity to social impact.
For us, the choice was simple: We are pledging our product and time to support the organizations that make Greater Philadelphia a better place to live and work.
What is Pledge 1%?
Pledge 1% is a corporate philanthropy model (pioneered by leaders like Salesforce and Atlassian) that embeds giving back into the DNA of a company. By joining this movement, Philly Hired joins over 19,000 companies in 130 countries dedicated to being a force for good.
Our "1%" isn't just a number; it’s a commitment to providing our high-powered recruitment tools to the Philadelphia non-profit community, completely free of charge.
Free Resources for Greater Philadelphia Non-Profits
We know that for non-profits, every dollar saved on overhead is a dollar that goes directly toward your mission. To help you find the passionate talent you need without breaking the budget, Philly Hired offers the following:
1. Post Jobs for Free
Skip the expensive "big box" job boards where local listings get lost in a sea of national noise. Non-profits in the Philadelphia area can post their open roles on Philly Hired at no cost. Whether you’re looking for a Program Director in Old City or a Volunteer Coordinator in West Philly, we’ll help you find them.
2. Featured Company Profiles
Visibility is everything. We provide non-profits with a Featured Company Profile on our platform. This allows you to showcase your culture, your impact, and your team, helping mission-driven candidates understand why they should choose your organization.
3. Complimentary Storytelling & Promotion
We don’t just host your job; we champion your cause. As part of our Pledge 1% commitment, we offer:
- Mission-Focused Blog Posts: Dedicated articles on the Philly Hired blog highlighting your organization’s history and current needs.
- Video Spotlights: Brief, engaging video content to share on our platform and yours.
- Social Media Amplification: We share your openings and stories with our growing audience of local professionals across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.
Why "Hyper-Local" Matters for Non-Profits
Generic job sites often prioritize remote roles or high-paying corporate listings. Philly Hired is different. We focus exclusively on the Greater Philadelphia area, meaning the candidates seeing your posts are:
- Community-Minded: People who live here and care about the local impact.
- Commute-Ready: Candidates looking for roles in the city or the surrounding suburbs.
- Diverse & Qualified: Accessing Philadelphia’s rich talent pool of educators, healthcare workers, social workers, and administrators.
