NAMLA Job Board

Review:

The NAMLA job board provides employers with highly targeted access to landscape architecture professionals around the country. While the job board does not distribute jobs to other job boards or offer any tools to optimize the hiring process, it does promote job listings on social media and attracts a qualified pool of candidates.

• Job posts feature a company logo and promotional image to aid brand awareness.
• Job ads are promoted on NAMLA's Facebook and Instagram pages.
• The website features a list of minority-owned landscape architecture firms around the U.S.
• The platform's quarterly newsletter contains a link to its job board.

Cons:

• The site lacks an online job posting process.
• Pricing is not readily displayed online.
• The platform does not offer any hiring features, such as applicant tracking, candidate matching, or job distribution.
