Free Nonprofit Job Postings on Idealist for June
Thu, 06/12/2008 - 1:40pm — Becky WiegandOur pals over at the Wild Apricot blog posted this about Idealist.org offering nonprofit organizations FREE (yes, I said FREE!) online job postings during the month of June.

I still get a daily digest email with jobs all over the country to match the search query I requested (not that I'm looking).

This outside agent is the Data Manager, who provides quality control.
