Idealist Reviews

Idealist is a great place to find volunteers for your organization.

When postings expire all of the leads stay within that posting. If you renew the posting, the leads stay with the old posting and don't migrate to the new one.

Idealist finds volunteers who are interested in helping me complete tasks within my organization.

We can manage the platform with ease. It is very easy to make and manage multiple listings.

It would be nice if the listings lived in perpetuity. After they expire we have to relist.

We are always seeking volunteers to assist with events, board recruitment.

I have used Idealist to look for volunteer work , I found the website very helpful and rich in resources , it matches volunteers and organizations worldwide. I used to be a volunteer at Amnesty international , I like volunteer work and I use Idealist to find organization that need volunteers in my area or virtual volunteers and can benefit from my skills . The platform is very easy to use , in addition of volunteering opportunities, there is more than 5000 jobs to apply to and hundreds of internships available.

While it is free for users Idealistic charges organization to post jobs on the site , a review of pricing may be needed .

I think the platform is very helpful for my students to look for available volunteering or internship opportunities.

Very easy to look for opportunities and find opportunities whether it be for a job or a volunteer or any activity in my area. Very easy to navigate across the webpage.

Can be expensive to post opportunities, I think it was $110 a post so with a company with many posts, this can add up

Providing employees with more opportunities to get involved in the community and make a difference as well as help employees find jobs

Networking for connecting millions of idealist for opportunities to volunteer or intern. Easy to search and navigate using search criteria and location.

There is no filter to see search results by most recently posted.

To search for opportunities in my area for my company to be involved with.

Easy to use interface, able to search by city or by state, the job descriptions are laid out well.

The only thing I dislike is that aren't more postings on the site. I wish more non-profits and organizations utilized idealist.

It's a go to source for myself and coworkers to find volunteer work. Great resource to find non-profit and govt.

The website is useful for posting and searching for job and volunteer opportunities. I liked how there is a salary option that one can view how much one would get paid.

From a posting standpoint, at the time, internships could be posted for free, but paid positions had to be paid for. I'm not sure if that has changed since 2010, but from a small non-profit organization, paying for a job posting wasn't something we could do.

If you are looking for a job or are posting a job in the non-profit sector, this is a great website for that.

I found jobs through this website, but also from an organizational standpoint I have used it to advertise openings at my organization.

I like that Idealist is a database focused on opportunities to make a difference in the world and to connect the seekers (idealists) focused on such opportunities. I like the simplicity of the website, the search filters, and the various resources available to volunteers and grad school students.

I have not come across any dislikes with the site. Initially, had a challenge with registering several years ago, as a representative stated that my EIN was not registering with their database.

Beneficial for nonprofits and nontraditional businesses.

Personally, allows me to search for opportunities to serve the community and professionally, it allows the chance to provide opportunities to the demographics that would be the most interested, versus the traditional job sites.

Easy to use and attracted the right people to our event.

Can't think of anything that we disliked.

It's a great platform for non-profit organizations. It attracts the "do-gooders" and very easy to use.

Helping us share the word about our events and job fairs.

I love this page because it allows me to request those young people who are just graduated and have all their potential to develop it in the company, it also allows me to visualize the courses and opportunities that are presented around the world in a simple and fast way.

The page is not very popular for students, it would be good to give more publicity to the page to increase its followers.

It is recommended for those companies that are always actively looking for personnel because it is very simple to use, does not generate expenses, its interface is very friendly.

It allows me to publish employment opportunities so that people who wish to work in the company will find it easier to apply according to the company's requirement, it is a very simple page to manage, it is free which helps you to reduce expenses.
