About our hiring process

 

Avodah seeks to increase equity in its hiring and therefore to mitigate the inside edge sometimes given to those who have relationships with organizational staff, Board, or participants. Avodah does not accept informal recommendations from individuals with personal connections to our staff or Board members and cannot factor such referrals into the selection of candidates for interviews.

Creating a more just world is a core part of our mission, and Avodah is working to continually strengthen our efforts toward equity and inclusion in the workplace. We strive to build a diverse team that brings with them a variety of identities, backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews, people of color, women, people with disabilities, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, and people who come from poor or working-class backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. Avodah is an equal-opportunity employer.

We read and review all applications that are submitted and may only contact candidates who advance to an interview stage. For questions about the hiring process, please email jobs@avodah.net.
