Why did you start Green Glass Jobs?

I started Green Glass Jobs in March 2025 for six reasons:

  1. Empathy for people in general ❤️
  2. Compassion for other jobseekers. I have been a jobseeker many times 👨🏼‍🏭
  3. Frustration with how often job listings don't show the salary 💰
  4. Frustration with existing job board features and filters – I found it difficult to find a jobs board with impact-focused jobs that also showed the salary, for example 📋
  5. The urgent problem of climate change 🔥
  6. Multiple experiences of working at exploitative employers, where I experienced:
  • Managers assigning me a max of 25 hours a week, which meant I didn't receive benefits and barely scraped by
  • A colleague working 40 hours a week but only earning about 50% of what he would need to live alone in his city
  • Repeated sexual harassment that made going to work anxiety-inducing for months
  • A boss regularly, publicly, and condescendingly criticizing my colleagues
  • Conditions that inspired me to cry while driving to work
  • A boss asking me to exaggerate to clients
  • Pressure to work unpaid overtime
  • The constant threat of firing
  • A non-compete agreement
  • Lack of necessary training
  • Frequent understaffing
  • Micromanagement
  • Shouting, and
  • Contract terms and working conditions so stressful they gave me sharp chest pain, long-term health issues, and multiple near-misses while driving 🏢


My hope is that by starting this job board, I can help prevent some of these issues above.

In my own job searches, I've wanted to:

  • Know the salaries before spending time applying 💰
  • Only see job postings written in my main language (English)
  • Work in healthy environments 🫁
  • Work for companies that were directly helping the earth or other people 🌍

But so many job sites focus only on one (or even none) of these benefits. And the largest job board I know seems to have gotten worse since I started using it in 2013. So I figured there might be demand for a site like this one.

Also, the climate crisis feels like an all-hands-on-deck situation. I want to do my small part.


What is Green Glass Jobs?

Green Glass Jobs is a niche, transparent jobs board.


What makes Green Glass Jobs so niche?

Green Glass Jobs is only for:

  • Companies with 4+ stars on employee-review site Glassdoor and at least 10 reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • Jobs that:
  • Help people (e.g. refugee assistance, legal aid)
  • Expand and impart knowledge (e.g. research, teaching, any work at a university)
  • Support the planet (e.g. conservation, renewable energy)
  • Job listings written in English (the job itself doesn't have to be)
  • Job listings that show the salary 💰 (no unpaid internships or volunteer positions)


Green Glass Jobs also only uses social media platforms Bluesky, Mastodon, MeWe, and Minds. I focus on finding jobseekers on non-mainstream platforms.


What makes Green Glass Jobs so transparent?

I post the following information publicly on the Transparency page:

  • All business costs, including taxes 💸
  • All revenue 💰
  • Website visitor statistics 📊
  • Sustainability information on my main source of electricity and my equipment ☘️
  • My cybersecurity measures 🔐
  • Thoughts on Glassdoor and Bluesky 🦋
  • Credit / attributions for the icons I use
  • My social media commitments (e.g. to not use AI)


I also:

  • Require employers to post links to their Glassdoor pages so anyone can check them
  • Aim to use open-source (a.k.a. transparent) software wherever possible, including Bitwarden, Bluesky, Mastodon, Minds, Plausible, and Proton
  • Require each job listing to show the salary 💷 💶 💰

Why might an employer want to post on Green Glass Jobs?

There are numerous benefits to posting jobs on Green Glass Jobs, including:

  • Reaching new candidates. I reach users on social media platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, MeWe, and Minds. As such, with Green Glass Jobs, employers have a higher chance of finding candidates who are not active on mainstream platforms.
  • Reaching purpose-driven candidates. In my experience, many people on more niche social media platforms care deeply about ethics and social causes. Indeed, it is often a reason they left mainstream social media.
  • Being more inviting to candidates. All employers on this site must have at least 4 stars on Glassdoor. Unlike other sites, an employer's very presence on this site suggests it is a good place to work.
  • Affordable pricing. Compared to a climate-focused jobs board I know (as of July 8th, 2025), the price for a standard job post is 94% more affordable here. I do not have investors I am trying to satisfy. There's just me, my costs, and taxes.
  • Seeing where the money is going. I list my revenue and costs on the Transparency page. Most companies and websites do not offer that information.
  • Showing transparency. By sharing employer Glassdoor pages, employers show commitment to transparency and an openness to receiving feedback.
  • Human support. If you have a question, I don't push automated AI assistants on you. Ones that misunderstand your question. Ones that give you irrelevant answers. I don't suggest you "visit the community forums first". You get immediate access to a contact form, and the contact form is answered by me, a 100% human with real emotions.
  • Immediately supporting the climate. Regardless of the outcome, 10% of each purchase through Stripe goes to Stripe Climate. Stripe Climate invests in carbon removal technologies.


What should employers know about free job listings?

To ensure we're on the same page in making high-quality job posts, I manually review all free listings before posting them. This process means free listings – if accepted – take 1-3 business days to go live. To get started, go to Pricing.
