An initiative of the Job Seeker's Union

For employers

Sign the Transparent Hiring Pledge.

Show that you value job seekers’ time and trust. Signing is a public commitment to five practices.

What you’re committing to

  • 👻 No Ghost Jobs: We only post roles we are actively hiring for.
  • 📅 Clear Timelines: We communicate estimated timelines for reviewing applications.
  • 📬 Close the Loop: We notify all interviewees in a timely fashion when a position has been filled.
  • ✍️ Job Details Matter: We provide accurate information about job responsibilities, pay range, and remote work options.
  • 🧍 Human Review: We never reject an applicant by software alone.

We don’t expect perfection. The pledge in detail explains what meeting each commitment looks like in practice.

What signing means

Each commitment is a practice your organization agrees to follow. It isn’t a promise that every hire will go perfectly.

Signers check their own hiring against the pledge, and we don’t audit anyone. That makes the pledge a public commitment, not a certification. A directory listing lasts one year from the day you sign, and you renew it by signing again.

If you see a signer breaking a commitment, email admin@hiringpledge.com. We read every report, and we can take an organization out of the directory.

Tell us who’s signing

We’ll email you to confirm, check that the details match your organization, and then add you to the directory of transparent employers. Your name and email are never published. Privacy details.
