Jobs for Lebanon

What Jobs for Lebanon does

Jobs for Lebanon is a US-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2020 that operates an online job marketplace connecting global employers with Lebanese talent, including nationals, diaspora, and expats. The platform serves two primary sides: Lebanese job seekers (a base of 53,968 registered candidates) and global employers posting 641 live vacancies across functions such as engineering, finance, marketing, IT, and business development. It explicitly targets underrepresented segments including LGBTQIA+, refugees, returning citizens, single moms, and neurodivergent job seekers, and offers a dedicated Remote Jobs portal enabling cross-border employment.

The platform is built on SmartRecruiters technology, which provides the underlying applicant tracking system, candidate database, and job syndication capabilities, meaning Jobs for Lebanon does not own its core ATS infrastructure. It augments this with a Discord-based community for recruitment preparation and job-search support, email job alerts, and a content/blog layer on its main website. It operates under the Jobs for Humanity umbrella brand and partners with SmartRecruiters (technology), PrimeTalent (channel/reseller), and Discord (community tooling).

Its business model is mission-driven rather than commercial: as a 501(c)(3), the platform is free for job seekers and is funded by charitable donations and grants rather than employer fees. The organization is registered in Delaware (8 The Green, Dover) and operates with 101-250 employees, focused on reviving the Lebanese economy through employment and diaspora connectivity. No revenue, pricing, or funding figures are publicly disclosed.

Regional players

• Wuzzuf: Wuzzuf is a leading Egypt-based online recruitment platform serving the MENA region. It addresses a similar Arabic-speaking job seeker audience and serves comparable employer segments but is focused on Egypt rather than Lebanon.
• Bayt.com: Bayt.com is the largest job board in the MENA region, hosting listings across the Middle East including Lebanon. It competes for the same Lebanese job seekers and regional employers but operates as a commercial platform at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Idealist: Idealist is a non-profit job and volunteer platform connecting mission-driven candidates with opportunities at NGOs, social enterprises, and purpose-led organizations. It mirrors Jobs for Lebanon's non-commercial, community-focused placement model.
• Impactpool: Impactpool is a global job platform focused on connecting impact-driven professionals with organizations working in development, humanitarian, and social-impact sectors. It shares Jobs for Lebanon's mission-driven job board model and target audience of purpose-driven job seekers.
• Refugee Talent: Refugee Talent is a mission-driven platform helping refugees and other forcibly displaced people find employment with inclusive employers. It is comparable to Jobs for Lebanon in its narrow focus on crisis-affected and underrepresented talent pools seeking global job opportunities.
• Devex: Devex is a job board and news platform focused on the international development and humanitarian aid sectors. It targets a similar mission-aligned job seeker segment connecting underemployed talent in developing economies with global opportunities.
• Jobs for Humanity: Jobs for Humanity is the parent umbrella organization of Jobs for Lebanon and operates the same inclusive-employment mission across multiple countries. The two share brand, mission framing, and operational playbook, making this the most directly comparable peer.

Emerging players

• Workable: Workable is a cloud-based recruitment and job posting platform serving SMBs and enterprise employers. It overlaps with Jobs for Lebanon on the employer-side recruitment tooling and is also integrated into many employer hiring workflows in the MENA region.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: LinkedIn is the dominant global professional network with an integrated job board serving international employers and diaspora talent worldwide. It competes for both Lebanese job seekers and remote-hiring employers as a broad incumbent with vastly larger reach.
• Indeed: Indeed is one of the world's largest job search engines aggregating listings from thousands of employers globally. It competes for general employer recruitment budgets and SEO-driven job seeker traffic that Jobs for Lebanon also targets.
