Help Wanted
Four things every listing does
Every posting on Help Wanted meets the same four standards before it appears. They are not suggestions and they are not decoration. They are the reason a listing here is worth your time, and the reason you can act on one the same day you read it.
1. The money is on the page
- Every paid opening states a pay range or an exact rate.
- Hourly or salaried is stated, never left to be inferred.
- Benefits are described, not gestured at.
- Every opening gives the date applications close.
- Salary history is never requested.
- Every board seat names its cost in dollars, or says plainly that there is none, and states whether that cost is a give or a get, whether it can be waived, and whether the individual or their company pays it.
2. The gate is named
- Every board seat carries one of four eligibility classes: open to all, certified business owner, corporate partner, or certified owner or corporate partner.
- A seat with a gate on it is never described as open.
- Screening is disclosed before anyone applies, not after.
- Remote means naming the states where the role can be worked.
3. We connect, we do not house
- Every listing links to one opening, never a careers homepage and never an aggregator.
- No resumes, applications or candidate data ever reach Affinity. We hold no posting copy and no forms.
- There is no fee to post and no fee on a hire.
- A recruitment partner may never charge a candidate.
4. Somebody read it
- Nothing publishes automatically. Every submission is reviewed by an editor before it appears.
- We reject postings that screen on age, graduation year, or years since a degree.
- Exactly five must-haves, written as capabilities rather than credentials.
- Ninety days, then the listing comes down. There are no extensions.
- The employer is always named.
Who may post what
- Volunteer and pro bono work may only be posted by nonprofits and NGOs. A business may not post into that lane.
- Internships and apprenticeships pay, and the rate is disclosed.
The businesses in these pages do not need one more place to be admired. They need places to be found. A listing that meets this standard is how that happens.
