About Idealist
Idealist is a cloud-based platform designed to help non-profits, government organizations, and recruitment agencies create custom business profiles, post jobs and internship opportunities, and discover and hire interested candidates or volunteers.
The platform enables organizations to get displayed in relevant searches by categorizing their listings under various job function terms such as social work, counselling, advocacy, fundraising, events, and more. It reviews and detects issues in posted content using automated filters and allows employees to flag problems via the report button. Job seekers can receive email alerts for new openings based on interests as well as delete or unsubscribe from any alert. Organizations can also create directory profiles using logos, images, videos, marketing copy, and application requirements and connect with various graduate school programs for recruitment.
It offers integration with the third-party platform Greenhouse, letting users share, view, and manage jobs on the Idealist job board automatically. Staffing agencies can also use the blind listings functionality to advertise jobs anonymously for contracting organizations.

Idealist Review
Reviewed on 2023/07/19
Pros
Idealist has been a great asset for me in finding ways to contribute to causes that I care about, due to its simple interface for connecting with people who share the same passions and beliefs. The resource center, with its job postings, volunteer listings, and user discussions, has been particularly helpful in revealing organizations whose principles match my own. I love the convenient ability to mark posts and use search criteria tailored to my needs, which makes Idealist truly invaluable.
Cons
I did not appreciate how challenging it was to negotiate the layout and features. The search bar proved to be an issue as it was hard to locate the desired content. In addition, I was overwhelmed by the abundance of content.

Perfect for Social Justice Jobs
Reviewed on 2022/06/03
Pros
I love Idealist both as someone looking for a job and someone who is now posting openings at an organization. Idealist is target towards non-profit, social justice oriented jobs in the U.S. It makes it straightforward and simple to find candidates who are interested in those types of roles. It is easy to use and brings in the most interested candidates in the quickest way.
Cons
The only downside to Idealist is that you have to pay per job posting. However, it is always free to post volunteer openings!
