About North Bay Compass

North Bay Compass is a local job board for Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties. It connects small businesses, farms, nonprofits, schools and local organizations with people who want to build their working lives here.

What makes it different

• Every post lists the pay range.
• Every post shows the schedule, the start date and what the job offers.
• Every post is screened automatically for common scam wording, and visitors can report a post in one tap.
• Job seekers never pay and never need an account.
• Employers can make public commitments, like replying to every applicant.

A job board made in the North Bay

I have lived and worked in Sonoma County for more than 25 years, and I have run local organizations for much of that time. Hiring was always one of the hardest parts. The people we hoped to hire lived nearby, yet they were hard to reach on large national job sites.

North Bay Compass brings local jobs into one place. Every post shows the pay, every employer is local, and searching is always free. It is a simple way for people who want to work here to find the employers who want to hire them.
