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 knowledge (e.g. research, teaching)
- 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)
Why 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
- Aim to use open-source (a.k.a. transparent) software wherever possible, including Bitwarden, Bluesky, Plausible, and Proton
- Require each job listing to show the salary
Why did you start Green Glass Jobs?
I started Green Glass Jobs in March 2025 for six reasons:
- Frustration with how existing job listings often don't show the salary 💰
- 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 📋
- Empathy for people in general ❤️
- Compassion for other jobseekers 👨🏼🏭
- The urgent problem of climate change 🔥
- Multiple experiences of working at exploitative employers, where I have 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
- A boss regularly, publicly, and condescendingly criticizing my colleagues
- Repeated sexual harassment that made going to work anxiety-inducing
- 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 🏢
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 above. 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 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.
