ReliefWeb
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 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:
- ReliefWeb 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.
- ReliefWeb 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.
- ReliefWeb has no applicant tracking system features.

How to Post a Job on ReliefWeb:
Three easy steps for posting a job on ReliefWeb.
Posting a job on ReliefWeb.
Click on "Log in" on the home page.
You will find this in the top-right corner of the ReliefWeb home page. ReliefWeb requires users to log in with their Humanitarian ID (HID) account.
To create an HID account, navigate to https://auth.humanitarian.id/register.
Complete and submit the online form.
Confirm your account via email and log in with your username and password.
Go back to the ReliefWeb login page and click on "Log in with Humanitarian ID."
Click on "Post a job vacancy."
You'll see this on the right side of your dashboard.
Fill in the submission form.
The job vacancy form requires information about your organization, as well as your job location, dates, details, and description. Once you have completed the form, you can preview your job ad, save it as a draft, or simply click on "Submit" to post it for free.
ReliefWeb vs. Indeed:
ReliefWeb is both free and targeted at 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 more. Indeed is used by Human Rights Watch and CUFA.
ReliefWeb vs. EthicalJobs.com.au:
EthicalJobs.com.au is more expensive than ReliefWeb but is the better option for reaching job seekers looking for philanthropic and environmental opportunities. ReliefWeb is free and more global — there were few vacancies based in Australia listed, last we checked. It won't hurt to use both of these options.
ReliefWeb vs. Pro Bono:
Pro Bono offers great features and uses social media to reach more people. It is more expensive than ReliefWeb but is a good alternative for hiring locally. ReliefWeb is great for reaching a global audience, and it is free. The two job boards should complement each other well.
