UNjobnet helps people find and win jobs across the UN system, international organizations and NGOs. We work with a small number of partners whose programmes and services genuinely help those readers.
Job seekers around the world use UNjobnet every day, and a growing community of subscribers receives our weekly job alert. Those readers trust us because everything we publish is there to help them. This page explains how partnerships work, the standards every placement must meet, and what we never accept.
These apply to every partnership, whatever the format or fee.
A placement has to be useful to someone building a career in the international sector, even if they never click your link. If it isn't, we decline it.
We offer no do-follow links, no link insertions and no paid links inside our own articles. Every partner link is marked rel="sponsored". Partners get a clearly labelled place on UNjobnet where readers can discover them.
Every placement carries the label "From our partner" and your organization's name. Partner content never appears as UNjobnet editorial.
Partners have no influence over our job listings, search results, salary data or our own career guides. UNjobnet is independent and not affiliated with the United Nations or any international organization.
Organizations whose work helps people prepare for, find or succeed in an international career:
A practical article for our readers, written by your expert and edited by our team to the standards below. It is published in Career Resources alongside our own guides, with the partner label.
A sponsored article is held to the same bar as our own career guides. Before you write, here is what we look for.
Send us a topic and a short outline, not a finished article. We agree the angle with you before you start, so neither of us wastes time on a piece that won't run.
Readers should come away knowing how to do something better: specific steps, real examples, what it takes. Something they would save or share, not a brochure.
Bylined by a named person with genuine experience of the subject, with a short bio. Original, and not published anywhere else. We decline spun, templated or mass-generated text.
Figures, rules and deadlines link to their source and carry a date. Anything about how organizations hire, pay or select candidates must cite an official source.
Many of our readers use English as a second or third language. Short sentences, no jargon or idioms, about 900 to 1,800 words.
Name your organization where it's relevant and in the author bio, with at most two links to your site, both rel="sponsored". No hard sell, no guarantees, no claims of special access.
We edit every article for accuracy, clarity and house style, and may change the title. You approve the final version for facts before it goes live. Sponsored articles stay published for at least 12 months; after that we may update or remove them if the information goes out of date. Images must be yours to use, or we will choose them.
About search engines. We publish partner content for our readers. Sponsored pages may be excluded from search engines, and their links never pass ranking value. If search ranking is your main goal, we're not the right fit.
About outreach emails. We don't reply to price requests for guest posts or link insertions, or to template outreach. A message without a proposal won't get an answer.
Email contact@unjobnet.org with the subject line Partner proposal: [your organization]. Proposals with that subject line go straight to the person who reviews them.
We may decline any request that doesn't fit our readers or these guidelines. UNjobnet is independent and not affiliated with the United Nations or any international organization. See also how we make our career guides.
