Job board: postings and alerts

The rules for posting a job without a Samwell account, and what we do with your information when you post a job or receive alerts.

Version of October 10, 2026

Posting a job

  • Volunteer and internship postings are free.
  • Other postings cost $179, plus taxes, for 60 days.
  • Our team reviews each posting before it goes online. Payment happens only after approval: a declined posting costs nothing.
  • The posting appears once it is approved and paid. Payment is made with Stripe; we never see your card.

Your responsibility

  • You are responsible for the content of the posting and for following the laws of your province (posted pay, language, non-discrimination).
  • Our automatic checks flag the most common omissions; they are not legal advice.
  • We may decline or remove a posting that is misleading, illegal or not a real job.

Refunds

Write to us at [email protected] if your paid posting could not appear or was removed by mistake: we will refund you.

What we collect

  • For a posting: its content, the organization name and the email of the person who manages it.
  • For an alert: your email, your search, your language and the frequency you chose.
  • To prevent abuse: a fingerprint of the IP address, never the full address.

How long we keep it

  • An expired, removed or declined posting is erased 24 months later.
  • An unconfirmed alert is erased after 7 days; a cancelled alert is erased immediately.
  • Proof of your consent to alerts is kept 36 months after you unsubscribe, as the law requires.

Your choices and rights

Every alert email has a one-click unsubscribe link. To access, correct or have your information erased, write to [email protected]. The privacy policy applies for everything else.
