Job postings are free!
Hire people who are ready to get their start.
Fun First Jobs helps employers connect with first-time and early-career job seekers looking for real opportunities to work, learn and grow.
Post seasonal jobs, year-round openings and everything in between. Send applicants to your existing hiring system or manage applications right inside Fun First Jobs.
Built by people who have been there
Fun First Jobs grew out of real experience hiring first-time and early-career workers, including lifeguards starting at age 15. We know what it’s like to have good jobs open, promote them everywhere and still struggle to reach the people you’re trying to hire.
So we built a job board focused on first-job hiring: made for people who are ready to get their start, and for the employers who want to hire them.
Finding your next first-time hire shouldn’t be harder than it needs to be.

Hiring doesn’t always happen once a year
Seasonal, with a deadline
Set an application deadline for camps, aquatics, recreation, hospitality or summer programs. The listing comes down after that date.
Open until filled
Keep recruiting until you fill the opening. Confirm you’re still hiring about every 90 days, so job seekers aren’t shown stale jobs.
Hiring year-round
For roles you fill all year. Confirm about every 90 days for up to a year from the original posting date, then post it again as a new job.
We email a reminder when it’s time to confirm, and you can mark a job filled anytime. Hiring again? Saved defaults and application templates give new listings a head start.
See what job seekers see
Anyone can browse jobs without an account. Listings show the employer, location, pay, job type, training, requirements and how to apply, plus the minimum hiring age when the employer provides one.
Trust is part of the product
We check that each organization is real and that the person posting is connected to it. “Verified employer” means we confirmed the organization controls, or is reasonably associated with, the website or contact information listed for it. It isn’t an endorsement, background check or guarantee of workplace safety.
Reviewed jobs
Every job passes our safety checks before it’s published, and some get a closer look from our team.
Reporting on every listing
Every job and employer page has a Report link.
Action on serious concerns
We review reports and can pause a listing while we look into it.
