The JobCottage difference

Your capacity can help create someone else’s opportunity.

Most job boards accept only cash for posting fees. Eligible JobCottage business members may be able to meet approved marketplace fees using verified business capacity or stored value—such as virtual gift cards or store credit.

Value is not “free.” The participating business still fulfills its obligation when that approved value is redeemed under the applicable terms.

Read the participation standards
1

Join and verify

Complete a short business onboarding so the offer, capacity, and redemption terms are clear.

3

Commit approved value

Where eligible, use verified capacity or stored value to cover all or part of a JobCottage marketplace fee.

Hire beyond the résumé pile
