Yid Community Resources for Job Seekers

‍

That’s why we created YiddishJobs— to offer fresh, scam-free job listings tailored for our people. But beyond listings, it’s also about knowing the resources around you that can guide, train, and support you through your career journey.

Whether you're looking for your first job, a career change, or a high-level macher role, this blog will walk you through the best Yid community resources available to job seekers like you.

1. YiddishJobs– Daily Jobs, No Scams

Let’s start with us — because this is your go-to platform. At YiddishJobs, you get:

• Verified, fresh jobs posted daily
• Listings relevant to frum and Yiddish-speaking applicants
• No scammy links or fake employers
• Categories for remote, local, full-time, and part-time jobs
• Jobs across the USA — including macher jobs in business, education, admin, and more

Whether you want Yiddish jobs in Brooklyn, Lakewood, Monsey, or remote roles, we make it simple to find what’s real.

2. Frum Community Job Boards & WhatsApp Groups

Many cities with large Jewish communities have their own local job boards, such as:

• Lakewood Scoop
• COLlive Job Listings (for Crown Heights)
• The Jewish Link Classifieds (Bergen County / Passaic)
• Macher USA WhatsApp groups for job leads

These platforms often feature community-specific listings from businesses looking to hire frum employees or those fluent in Yiddish or Hebrew.

Pro tip: Join trusted WhatsApp groups in your area, but be careful — not all are curated or safe. Stick with moderated, active ones.

3. Job Readiness & Resume Help From Jewish Organizations

Several Jewish nonprofit orgs and community centers offer free or low-cost career support, including:

• PCS / Agudah (Professional Career Services)
  Offers job placement, training programs, and resume guidance for the Orthodox community.
• Ohel Family Services
  Career coaching and employment services with a sensitive, culturally aware approach.
• Met Council
  For NYC residents, this org helps with career training, financial aid, and job placement.
• JVS (Jewish Vocational Service)
  Offers programs in cities like Boston, Chicago, and LA for resume help, job training, and interview prep.

4. Training & Courses for Skill Building

To land better jobs — especially macher jobs — you’ll often need new skills. These programs offer:

• PCS Accounting & Software Programs
  Learn QuickBooks, bookkeeping, and office software.
• Sara Schenirer / TTI / TAG Institute
  Programs tailored for frum women or men entering professional fields (therapy, tech, business, etc.).
• Torah Umesorah / Chinuch.org
  For teachers and educators looking for job openings, training, or placement in yeshivas or Jewish schools.

5. LinkedIn for the Yid Community

Yes, LinkedIn is a secular platform — but it’s a powerful place to find jobs and grow your network. Many frum recruiters, macher job seekers, and Jewish employers are active there.

Here’s how to use it well:

• Create a clean, professional profile
• List your skills, past jobs, and volunteer work
• Follow companies you're interested in
• Connect with people in your industry or city
• Share that you're "Open to Work"

Even if you're shy, your profile can attract employers passively.

6. Shidduch of Jobs – Use Your Network

In the frum world, many job connections happen through word of mouth. Reach out to:

• Your shul Rav or Rebbetzin
• Teachers or mashgichim
• Friends or family who run businesses
• Former employers or co-workers
• Community leaders or nonprofit directors

Sometimes a short message like, “I’m looking for a job in customer service or admin. Know of anything?” can open big doors.

7. Mental Health & Financial Support While You Search

If you're struggling during your job search — emotionally or financially — you’re not alone. Many people feel pressure, especially with family responsibilities.

Organizations like:

• Relief Resources (mental health referrals)
• Bikur Cholim of Lakewood / Flatbush
• Tomchei Shabbos (food support)
• Keren Aniyim (emergency financial help)

These resources help you stay afloat so you can focus on rebuilding, finding work, and moving forward.
