What is Green Glass Jobs?
Green Glass Jobs is a niche, transparent job-searching platform.
What makes Green Glass Jobs so niche?
Green Glass Jobs is only for:
- jobs that help:
- people (e.g. refugee assistance)
- knowledge (e.g. research), or
- the Earth (e.g. conservation)
- companies with 4+ stars on employee-review site Glassdoor and at least 10 reviews
- job listings written in English
- jobs not specifically related to software development (so no front end developers, for example)
- job listings that show the salary
Why makes Green Glass Jobs so transparent?
I post the following detailed business information publicly, on the Transparency page:
- All costs, including taxes 💸
- All revenue 💰
- My security measures 🔐
- Sustainability information on my main source of electricity and my equipment ☘️
- Credit / attributions for the icons I use
I require employers to post links to their Glassdoor pages and to share job salaries. I also aim to use open-source (a.k.a. transparent) software.
Why did you start Green Glass Jobs?
I started Green Glass Jobs in March 2025 for six reasons:
- Empathy for people in general ❤️
- Compassion for other jobseekers 👨🏼🏭
- The urgent problem of climate change 🔥
- Frustration with existing job board features and filters 📋
- Frustration with existing job listings and their lack of salary transparency 💰
- Multiple experiences of working at exploitative employers, where I have experienced:
- managers assigning me a max of 25 hours a week, which meant I didn't receive benefits and barely scraped by
- a colleague working 40 hours a week but only earning about 50% of what he would need to live alone in his city
- repeated sexual harassment that made going to work anxiety-inducing
- a boss regularly, publicly, and condescendingly criticizing my colleagues
- conditions that inspired me to cry while driving to work
- a boss asking me to exaggerate to clients
- pressure to work unpaid overtime
- the constant threat of firing
- non-compete agreements
- lack of necessary training
- frequent understaffing
- micromanagement
- double standards
- shouting, and
- contract terms and working conditions so stressful they gave me sharp chest pain, long-term health issues, and multiple near-misses while driving 🏢
In my own job searches, I've wanted to:
- Know the salaries before spending time applying 💰
- Only see job postings written in my main language (English)
- Work for companies that were directly helping the earth or other people 🌍
- Work in healthy environments 🫁
But so many job sites focus only on one (or even none) of these things. And the largest job board I know seems to have gotten worse since I started using it in 2013. So I figured there might be demand for a site like this one.
Also, the climate crisis feels like an all-hands-on-deck situation. I want to do my small part.
