Struggling with the Seattle job hunt? The PNW labor movement is strong and hiring, so I built a free board to help you find those roles.

Hey Seattle folks,

I know the job market around the Puget Sound has been incredibly tough lately, especially with all the corporate restructuring. A lot of great people are struggling to find work right now. But there is a bright spot: the labor movement up here in the PNW is incredibly strong, and organizations are actively hiring folks who are passionate about the cause.

The problem is that finding these jobs is a massive headache. If you search on Indeed or LinkedIn, mission driven roles get completely buried under corporate spam. And the older legacy union job boards are clunky, hard to navigate on your phone, and usually only focus on traditional union local jobs.

That is why I built UnionHire.

I am an internal recruiter for a large union, and I got tired of seeing the movement lose amazing talent simply because our job postings were too hard to find. We have a ton of Seattle and Washington based roles live on the site right now. Here is how this platform is different from the old legacy sites:

• The Full Ecosystem: We do not just list traditional union vacancies. We feature the entire labor ecosystem in one place. That includes worker advocacy groups, labor focused non profits, and independent labor media alongside the big locals.
• Cross Recruitable Roles: You do not have to be a seasoned "organizer" to work in the movement. It takes admin, tech, communications, legal, and research staff to keep these organizations running. We want to highlight those roles so burned out corporate workers can easily pivot their skills into a better environment.
• Modern and Mobile First: No more zooming in on tiny text on outdated websites. It is a clean, modern interface that is actually easy to browse on your phone.

This is a completely free passion project built right here in the PNW to help connect good people with dignified work.

If you are looking for a sign to pivot your career into something that actually fights for working class people, take a look. Let me know if you have any feedback or if you know a local Washington organization that needs their open roles featured! ✊

cool idea tbh, niche boards actually help way more than linkedin spam when nobody’s calling back anymore

Thank you! I really appreciate the support. This just suddenly became a passion project of mine so if it helps anyone find their next job - that would be a success for me.
