"We've had an overwhelming response to the job posting on your website. We had 135 people apply, so it's obvious that we made a good choice in selecting the Charity Village Website as our only source of adverstising, except thru our own networks. We should also say that your reasonable pricing was a significant factor for a Coalition like ours who have limited funds for this kind of advertising.
It has been a pleasure to do business with you and we will most certainly come back to you if we are involved in any future hirings"
Sharron Richards, Chair
New Horizons Healing & Hope Coalition - Toronto, ON
"I have truly enjoyed working with Charity Village in posting the receptionist position we had available. The responses were fantastic - not only numerous but very qualified as well. I will definitely be recommending posting here to others in the non-profit sector."
Jen Kellner, Major Gifts Officer/Administrative Manager
The Salvation Army, Ontario Great Lakes Division"I posted two jobs after 10pm on a Tuesday on the Charity Village website - it only took a few minutes and was very easy. The next morning I wondered if it had actually worked. When I opened my e-mail I already had several resumes that fit all the criteria for the jobs. I currently have viewed over 89 resumes and shortlisted more than 12 for each job. The quality of candidates that I am receiving for these modest paying jobs is amazing. Your website is a great resource!!! "
Pat Convery, Executive Director
Adoption Council of Ontario
“Many thanks to Patti at Charity Village for suggesting that we list our ad for Board Members on the job posting section Charity Village's website. We had never considered posting an ad for volunteers, in a fee-based section of Charity Village, but we took your advice and did so. It was truly the best money we've spent on building the capacity of our association. We received so many responses that we had to carefully consider each volunteer before they were elected to join our board. Patti worked with us to make sure we didn't miss any of the important items in the ad, and followed up to make sure we were pleased with the service. Overall, we are very happy with your suggestion. Thanks again Patti.”
Tahverlee Mills, Executive Director

Kay Dryden
Credit Valley Hospital
"We have, in the past, purchased very expensive newspaper ads that have brought us very little in the way of responses. At one point we actually paid almost a thousand dollars for one week of advertisement that netted us only 3 resumes, one of which wasn't even relative to the position posted. When we learned of CharityVillage, we sent in a posting, were charged a reasonable rate and got immediate and qualified results (actually the next morning we had 12 resumes on my desk, and they kept coming). This is effective and efficient! Many thanks for your assistance and we look forward to paying your invoice when it arrives, because it has really been worth our while to post with you at CharityVillage!"
Velvet Matinnia
Shining Through Centre for Children with Autism
"The response we got through CharityVillage was fabulous! Over 4 times the respondents than what we received through the newspaper and another online job-board where we also posted the ad."
Kim Jenkinson
Halton Child & Youth Services
"I find CharityVillage easy to use, and easy for my target audiences to use. The feedback when an ad has been posted, and the options when posting an ad are all very helpful. I know that there will be no surprises with my posting. The biggest benefit is the quality of applicants. Occasionally we have posted on more public job boards, such as workopolis, but we normally would receive hundreds of applications from people who do not even come close to the skills, experience, and education we are looking for. With CharityVillage, we receive fewer quantity of applications and a much higher quality. Specifically, the applicants understand what not-for-profit work is like and tend to have more realistic job expectations. This combination reduces our processing time when hiring for a new position, and has helped us to be more successful in creating a professional, dedicated workforce. Not only would I recommend CharityVillage, but I do so on a regular basis. Whenever I am asked about job posting, CharityVillage is the first and often only place that I recommend for not-for-profit organizations."
Amy Ritchie

We feel we have a good fit with the individual who accepted the position and are very satisfied that CharityVillage was the best avenue to take in order to get the right person for our organization."Barbara Ringham

"What I like most in CharityVillage is that with a cheaper fee per ad, we're getting the most applications out of CharityVillage. The biggest benefit of CharityVillage is that it is widely accessed by most job hunters and widely used as an engine to look for job. I would highly recommend CharityVillage.com. I had no problems posting our ads and most of all our ads had good turnover and it's really worth it. In fact, I dropped down some of the advertising agencies I use who charge us more but get less responses."

"The resumes we received from the last [CharityVillage.com] posting, although limited in number, were more applicable to the position.We sometimes received 100 resumes from people who saw the posting in numerous sources- usually job postings in the newspapers. However, these candidates ... did not have any of the qualifications listed in the job ads. Our agency appreciates the fact that there are more relevant candidates for positions through CharityVillage.com."
Marie Nuss

Jennifer Allen

"I only posted the position on your website... so all the resumes I received were as a result of the CharityVillage posting. I received almost 80 resumes, and did hire a terrific candidate from that group. I choose CharityVillage because it is so reputable and, as we are a non-profit, I figured anyone who knew about you would be someone we would want to talk to. I will use the service again in future."
Tracy Corbett

"We have used this venue for posting several positions in the past and find it most valuable. Our recent position was filled from one of the resumes that arrived through CharityVillage. As a company that manages 40 non-profit associations, even though we are a profit company ourselves, the fact that most people who submit resumes have experience with volunteer boards and organizations, it exactly the market we look for. We would certainly use it again in the future."
Diane Gaunt

"The University of Victoria has used the Careers Section of the CharityVillage web site to advertise for six new positions in Development in the past year. The only other place we advertised was in the local paper, and yet the word got out so well that we didn't need to advertise anywhere else ... It's affordable and we feel that the site has the right readership for our needs. Thanks for being there."Kayla D. Stevenson, CFRE

"On two occasions we have taken out advertisements for job openings here at Horizons by purchasing ad space at the Globe and Mail and also listing them at CharityVillage.com. Guess which media source was the overwhelming reference point (in one instance the responses generated were 10 to 1) for job applicants--that's right--CharityVillage.com! We're going to save our money in the future! ... this experience confirms for me why CharityVillage.com is the favourite bookmark amongst fundraisers and non-profit personnel. Congratulations on being the "best.""Scott Lamberton

I liked the fact that my profile is saved (with my contact information) making the whole process even easier. The more efficient the process is to post a position, the more likely I am to use the service. For an organization like the College of Nurses of Ontario, we like to target an audience with a certain type of mindset/way of thinking. This is the type of audience we get from CharityVillage - diverse & open minded candidates."Hussain Haider Ali

We received some very impressive resumes, from the very first day it appeared, from high caliber candidates and indeed, the bulk of the interviews are from people who found us on your site (as opposed to the newspapers). We will certainly recommend your site to anyone we know looking for work or looking to advertise a job, and thank you again."Rabbi Elyse Goldstein
Kolel: The Adult Centre for Liberal Jewish Learning
"CISV placed an ad. with CharityVillage.com to find a Secretary General of our International Office in Britain. The search involved over 40 countries over several months. We placed our ad. with CharityVillage.com very late in the process because other means had not produced a satisfactory list of candidates.The CharityVillage.com ad generated many responses in a very short time, but more importantly it produced the ONLY three viable candidates! These three candidates attended the recent annual meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil and one was voted to be our new Secretary General. Obvious that CharityVillage.com is the place to go when you're looking for the best!!! Great Service!"
