When we, at Gerard Search, started building Phil’sJobs, we weren’t trying to create just another place to post nonprofit jobs. We built it because something important was missing.
Most job boards are passive: you post a role, cross your fingers, and wait. But in today’s hiring landscape, especially in the nonprofit sector, that’s just not enough.
We know this because we're a search firm first. We’ve spent years helping mission-driven organizations find the right fundraisers, leaders, communicators, and operational talent. We’ve seen the hiring crunch. We've seen the talent gaps. And we’ve heard the frustration from both employers and candidates.
So we built something different.
Phil’sJobs is a hiring platform powered by search expertise. That means:
- Every role posted here is rooted in nonprofit sector relevance.
- Our audience is focused and purpose-driven: experienced nonprofit professionals who are serious about doing meaningful work.
- What sets us apart? Behind the platform is a curated Candidate Profile Bank, built from years of nonprofit recruitment. These are qualified, passive candidates who aren’t applying to random jobs but are open to the right opportunity.
And here’s the best part: we’re putting you in the recruiter’s seat.
On top of simply posting a job, organizations can now proactively search our growing pool of nonprofit talent and reach out directly. It’s access to the kind of sourcing that’s normally reserved for full search engagements—but at a fraction of the cost.
That’s why we built Phil’sJobs: to give organizations a way to recruit proactively, even if they don’t have the budget for a traditional search. With this platform, you’re tapping into the reach, rigour, and relationships of a nonprofit search firm—without the full-service price tag.
Instead of waiting and hoping, you can act. You can search. You can hire smarter.
And for candidates, Phil’sJobs is built with you in mind too. You’re not just a résumé in the void. Here, you can create a profile, highlight your skills, the causes you care about, and the kind of work you're looking for. Whether you're actively job-seeking or just open to the right opportunity, your profile makes you visible to organizations aligned with your values.
Worried about your privacy? Don’t be. Your profile isn’t public. It's only viewable by employers who’ve signed up for access to the Candidate Profile Bank, so no surprise visits from nosy colleagues.
This is more than a job board. It’s a purpose-built platform designed to connect nonprofits with nonprofit professionals more effectively, more efficiently, and with greater intention.
Welcome to Phil’sJobs. Built for the nonprofit sector, by people who live and breathe it.
