Where to Find Frum Jobs Online (2026)
Complete guide to finding frum jobs — community newspapers, staffing agencies & WhatsApp groups across Lakewood, Monsey, Brooklyn & more.
Finding a job in the frum community means checking five WhatsApp groups, three newspapers, and two staffing agency websites — every single day. Nobody has time for that.
The frum job market is fragmented across dozens of sources. Print newspapers carry listings that never appear online. Staffing agencies post openings on their own sites. WhatsApp groups move fast and aren’t searchable. And mainstream platforms like Indeed and LinkedIn miss most community-specific positions entirely.
This guide maps the full landscape — every channel worth checking, city by city — so you can stop wasting time on a scattered search.
Key Takeaways
- Most frum job listings never appear on mainstream job boards — they live in community newspapers, staffing agencies, and WhatsApp groups.
- Each community has its own publications and staffing networks. Lakewood, Monsey, and Brooklyn each have distinct channels.
- Aggregator platforms like Unclassified pull job listings from numerous community sources into one searchable database with hundreds of active positions.
Print Publications: The Original Job Boards
Before job boards existed, community newspapers were how frum families found work. Many employers — especially small businesses, mosdos, and local offices — still post exclusively in print. If you’re only searching online, you’re missing a significant portion of available positions.
Lakewood, NJ
Lakewood is the largest Orthodox community in America and one of the most active job markets in the frum world. Hundreds of local businesses, schools, and organizations hire from within the community.
The BP Weekly (Lakewood edition) is the single largest source of job classifieds in the community — Unclassified tracks hundreds of active job listings from this publication alone. It carries positions across office work, healthcare, education, and more.
The Lakewood Shopper is a weekly classifieds publication available at grocery stores, shuls, and community centers. It carries a mix of jobs, apartments, services, and for-sale items. The Voice of Lakewood also runs job classifieds.
Between these publications, most Lakewood job listings start in print. The limitation? You have to pick up a paper each week, flip through pages of small print, and call before someone else does. Listings aren’t searchable, filterable, or accessible after the next issue replaces them.
Monsey & Rockland County, NY
Monsey has a substantial job market serving its growing frum population. Many positions are in local businesses, healthcare facilities, and community organizations.
The Monsey View is a weekly community newspaper that carries job classifieds alongside community news and event listings. Unclassified tracks a large number of active job listings from the Monsey View.
Community Connections has been serving the Monsey community since 1995, distributed weekly to homes in Monsey, Spring Valley, and New Square. It carries a classifieds section with jobs, apartments, and services. Deadline for submissions is Tuesday at 2:00 PM.
The Kol HaTzibur (Monsey edition) also carries job classifieds for the Rockland County area.
Brooklyn: Boro Park, Flatbush & Williamsburg
Brooklyn has the largest concentration of Orthodox Jews in America, with a massive and diverse job market. Each neighborhood has its own publications.
The Luach HaTzibur is the dominant daily classifieds publication in frum Brooklyn. It started in 2006 as a one-page flyer in Boro Park shuls and has grown into a widely distributed daily. Jobs are one of the major classified categories, and many Luach job listings are available on Unclassified.
The Boro Park View is a weekly newspaper with classifieds covering Boro Park, with sister editions in Williamsburg and Flatbush. The Weekly Link also carries job listings for the Brooklyn community.
Other Communities
Passaic, NJ and the Five Towns, NY have growing frum communities. Job listings for these areas appear primarily in WhatsApp groups and in national publications like Hamodia and Yated Ne’eman, which carry classified sections reaching multiple communities.
Online Job Boards & Staffing Agencies
The frum community has developed its own network of online job resources — mostly staffing agencies that specialize in placing candidates within the community.
Frum Staffing Agencies (With Online Listings)
Several staffing agencies focus specifically on the frum job market. Each maintains an online presence where they post open positions:
- Bhired NYC — One of the largest sources of frum job listings online, focused on the NYC metro area.
- Poel Group Staffing — A well-established frum staffing agency covering office, accounting, and professional roles.
- Mai Placement — Specializes in executive and professional placements in the frum community.
- Hire Partners — Recruiter focused on office and operations roles.
- Swift Staffing — Frum staffing agency covering multiple industries and cities.
- Supreme Talent — Covers professional roles including accounting, technology, and office work.
- Elevate Career Group — Growing agency with roles across several industries.
- The Prime Staffing — Focuses on healthcare, office, and operations roles.
The challenge with staffing agencies is that each one has its own website and its own database. To get the full picture, you’d need to check 8+ sites regularly. Most don’t have great search or filtering — you scroll through pages of listings hoping to find something that matches.
General Job Platforms
Indeed and LinkedIn sometimes have relevant positions, but they lack community context. You can’t filter for “frum-friendly workplace” or “Shabbos off guaranteed.” They also miss most positions posted by small community businesses that don’t use mainstream job boards.
Job Gemach (jobsgemach.com) is a dedicated frum job board with a large listing count, focused on connecting community members with employment opportunities.
WhatsApp Groups: The Community’s Unofficial Job Board
If you ask anyone in the frum community how they heard about their job, there’s a good chance the answer involves a WhatsApp group. City-specific groups like “Lakewood Jobs,” “Monsey Jobs,” and “Brooklyn Employment” have hundreds (sometimes thousands) of members.
Strengths: Speed and personal touch. A job gets posted and responses come in within minutes. People vouch for employers, share salary info, and warn about red flags.
Weaknesses: Messages scroll by fast and aren’t searchable. There’s no way to filter by industry, salary, or location. You have to be in the right group at the right time. And you need to know which groups exist — they’re not publicly listed. Ask around at shul or in your community to find the active job groups.
One Search Across All Sources
This is the problem Unclassified was built to solve. Instead of checking newspapers, staffing agency websites, and WhatsApp groups separately, you search one platform.
Unclassified brings together job listings from community publications, staffing agencies, and direct employer submissions. Every listing is categorized by industry, tagged with a city, and filterable.
What You’ll Find on Unclassified
Unclassified aggregates job listings from numerous community sources, covering:
- Top cities: Monsey, Lakewood, Brooklyn, and Boro Park
- Top industries: Office & admin, Healthcare, Accounting, Operations, Sales, Education, and Technology
New jobs are added daily as community newspapers publish new issues and staffing agencies post new openings. You can set up saved search alerts to get notified by email the moment new jobs matching your criteria are posted.
Job Searching by City
Lakewood Jobs
Lakewood is one of the largest job markets on Unclassified. Positions skew toward office work, education (the mosdos are the largest employers), healthcare, and local retail and services. Many Lakewood jobs are posted first in the BP Weekly (Lakewood edition) — and many of these listings are available on Unclassified.
Monsey Jobs
Monsey has one of the largest job listing counts on the platform. The community has a growing healthcare sector, local businesses, and commuter positions (many Monsey residents work in NYC). The Monsey View and Community Connections are the primary print sources.
Brooklyn Jobs
Brooklyn (including Boro Park) has a large and active job market. The most diverse of any community — from small business office positions to professional roles in accounting, technology, and healthcare. The Luach HaTzibur and Boro Park View are the main print sources.
Practical Tips for Your Frum Job Search
- Use multiple channels simultaneously. Don’t rely on just one source. The best approach combines online platforms, community newspapers, staffing agencies, and personal networking.
- Set up alerts. On platforms like Unclassified, save a search (e.g., “accounting jobs in Lakewood”) and get email notifications when new matches are posted.
- Act fast. Community jobs fill quickly. When you see a good fit, call or apply the same day. Waiting even a day or two can mean the position is already filled.
- Network in person. Shul, community events, and personal connections remain the most effective job-finding tool in frum communities. Let people know you’re looking — word of mouth fills many positions before they ever get posted anywhere.
- Consider staffing agencies. Frum staffing agencies understand the community’s needs (Shabbos schedules, Yom Tov time off, kashrus in the workplace). They can match you with positions that align with your requirements.
- Don’t ignore print. Many employers — especially small businesses and mosdos — only advertise in community newspapers. Pick up the local weekly or use an aggregator that brings these listings online.

Based on current listing data: Office and admin roles are the most common, followed by healthcare, accounting and finance, operations, sales, and education. Technology roles are a growing segment.
How do I find frum WhatsApp job groups?
Ask at your local shul, check with neighbors, or ask friends and family who work in the area. Most groups are invite-only. Focus on groups specific to your city and industry. Some staffing agencies also run their own WhatsApp broadcast lists for new openings.

Yes. Employers can submit a job listing directly. It’s free and reaches job seekers searching across all communities.
