Hire with purpose

What is a good job?

In a nutshell a good job is one which has a positive impact - on local communities, on national causes, on global issues.

We believe that such jobs can be found in a wide range of industries and sectors that stretch beyond the realm of charities or social enterprises. With this mindset, we strive to create more opportunities that empower Kiwis to make a meaningful impact on the world around them.

Is yours a good job?

At Do Good Jobs, we connect job seekers who want to make an impact for Aotearoa New Zealand and the world with organisations who do that too.

We’re proud of our niche, and we do it well. BUT that does mean that not every role is suitable for our job board.

Broadly we accept two types of listings.

GOOD ORGANISATIONS

If your organisation as a whole has a primary focus on making a positive impact, then you are welcome to list any role within your organisation.

If you fall into this category, you might be a charity, a not-for-profit, a social enterprise or an NGO. We don’t believe that purpose and profit are mutually exclusive so you might also be a for-profit business that works in an impact space such as sustainability.

GOOD JOBS

If for-purpose isn’t your organisation’s core focus BUT you have a specific role that is focused on promoting positive outcomes, then you are welcome to list that role.


If you fall into this category, you might be a government agency, a local council, a B-Corp or a for-profit business with a wider focus.

Jobs that might count include Sustainability, DEI, and Well-being and culture roles.

We also welcome listings from recruitment agencies/consultants recruiting for suitable organisations and roles.

We work hard to ensure all roles fit our criteria, are relevant to our jobseeking community and meet the standards that our community might hold. However, we appreciate that everyone's view of whether an organisation or role is "good" or "not good" varies and this means that on occasion roles may be listed that some members of our community do not personally agree with.

We do actively review all listings that are added to our job board and reserve the right to remove any that we do not feel meet our criteria or have other issues. In that case, we'll be in touch to discuss why and your options.

    Our top tips for a great job listing

    Include plenty of detail so jobseekers know what the role entails.

    Consider your hard requirements carefully and think about whether you can reword them to be more open. 

    State the salary or salary band. We don’t make salary a compulsory requirement of listing with us but we do strongly encourage you to show a salary or salary range

    Clearly state whether the role is in-office, hybrid or fully remote.

    Remember that recruitment is a two-way street - make sure your listing includes the benefits your organisation and the role offers to potential candidates. 

    Beware of biased language that could put off potential candidates 

    Cut out those buzzwords that don’t add any substance.
