A specialized digital service from the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, ReliefWeb provides humanitarian information on global crises and disasters as well as other resources, including a nonprofit job board that major Australian humanitarian organizations have used in the past.

While ReliefWeb has no offices in Australia, and LinkedIn shows no ReliefWeb employees living in the country, it is a good resource to use alongside local sites, such as Pro Bono and EthicalJobs.com.au, for hiring professionals in the humanitarian sector.

Pricing:

Posting jobs on the ReliefWeb job board is a free service for the humanitarian community. Job opportunities posted on ReliefWeb must be relevant to sectors of humanitarian response.

Review:

ReliefWeb is a digital hub for information and resources relating to the humanitarian sector, including a job portal that organizations in Australia should consider using for its global, targeted reach, passionate candidate base, and cost-effectiveness.

Some of Australia's most respected humanitarian organizations use the job board for hiring. These include Human Rights Watch Australia, Palladium, and CUFA. However, the platform is missing a resume database and applicant tracking features and is not as well-established in the local job market.

Pros:

  • The ReliefWeb job board offers its services for free.
  • Users can post jobs and training opportunities.
  • Posts can be edited or deleted at any time.
  • The job board is used by well-known and established organizations, such as Human Rights Watch and CUFA.
  • The ReliefWeb job board has a larger international reach than Pro Bono and EthicalJobs.com.au.

Cons:

  • For local hires, Pro Bono and EthicalJobs.com.au are better options as they are more established in the Australian market.
  • The platform does not offer access to a resume database.
  • The ReliefWeb job board has no applicant tracking system, social media sharing, or sponsored features.

Reputation:

We were unable to find any online reviews of the ReliefWeb job board.

ReliefWeb Job Board vs. Indeed:

The ReliefWeb job board offers a free job posting service that targets professionals who are passionate about humanitarian organizations, so there is a clear advantage to using it over Indeed. However, Indeed offers the advantages of greater reach, resume search functions, and sponsored posts. Indeed is used by Human Rights Watch and CUFA.

ReliefWeb Job Board vs. EthicalJobs.com.au:

EthicalJobs.com.au is costlier than the ReliefWeb job board, charging A$160.00 +GST per post, but is the better option for reaching job seekers looking for philanthropic opportunities. The ReliefWeb job board is free to use and more global, but its services are geared toward employers based in the humanitarian sectors. That said, the site does not share EthicalJobs.com.au's local reach.

ReliefWeb Job Board vs. Pro Bono:

Pro Bono offers great features and uses social media to reach more people. It is more costly than the ReliefWeb job board, but it's a good alternative for hiring locally. The ReliefWeb job board is great for reaching a global audience, and it is free. The two job boards should complement each other well.
