Our newsletter reaches thousands of active + serious job seekers who fuel Basecamp Weekly’s organic growth (~500 referral subscribers/month).
Many of our newsletter readers don't have Facebook, which makes this medium a unique and direct route to get fresh eyes on your job, event, or freelance gig.
We also include fun tips + a community feel in the newsletter, but jobs are definitely the star of the show.
Hand the Oars to Us.
Custom.
We will hand-curate your staff to help you build your dream team.
We interact with our audience daily, and over many months + years have gotten to know them as humans.
We see their values. How they show up for their community. And what they might be like to work with.
This makes us uniquely positioned to identify candidates that can meet your technical requirements while being exceptional culture adds (not fits!😉).
Experience the difference community can make.
Office Hours (new!)
Tell top candidates why they should consider YOUR workplace. Mirroring our popular podcast Outdoor Dream Jobs, Office Hours is a chance for brands to highlight what's cool about their culture and perks within a dynamic setting, with hopeful candidates listening and asking questions real-time. Efficiently answer questions that come up and again and again and take this rare opportunity to really sell your brand to the future talent who will make it great.
Office hours will last 1 hour & 20 minutes via Zoom (it goes quick), and interviews will be hosted on the Basecamp website and YouTube channel as evergreen content.
Get that missing data point
Basecamp holds more than just the wisdom of an entire industry - it holds the opinions and raw data points smart businesses use to enrich their strategies.
(how do you think Basecamp was instantly profitable...?).
We can ethically solicit authentic data from our community on your behalf.
Perfect for busy managers who want to work smarter, but don’t have time to read every post in Basecamp. We can filter out the most important takeaways for you.
“Within minutes of posting a freelance gig on Basecamp, I had five qualified candidates contact me. One person started the next day and has worked out great for our needs.
My biggest sadness was not being able to hire everyone—they were all friendly, knowledgeable, and (bonus!), people I’d love to have a beer with.”
