Terms of Service

The rules for using WildWork, posting jobs and Job Wanted posts, and paying for listings and Early Access.

These terms cover using WildWork: browsing and applying for jobs, posting a Job Wanted, posting a job as an employer, and paying for Early Access. By using the site you agree to them. Last updated October 5, 2026.

What WildWork Is

WildWork is a job board for outdoor and adventure work in the United States. We are not an employer, a staffing agency or a recruiter. Jobs are offered by the employers who post them, and applications go straight to those employers. We do not charge job seekers to apply and we never take a cut of your pay.

Listings From Two Sources

Some listings are posted and paid for by the employer. A person checks that business before its listing goes live (see How We Verify Listings). Other listings are summaries of jobs that employers published on their own websites or on government job sites; each is marked as a summary, links to the original posting, and has not been verified by us. The employer’s own posting is the final word on the details. If anything in a listing is wrong, or you want one taken down, use Remove a Listing.

What Verified means. The Verified mark means a person at WildWork checked, before the listing went live, that the business exists and can be reached (for example through a working website or phone number) and that the listing follows these rules. It does not mean we have inspected the workplace, the housing or the employer’s safety record, checked licenses or insurance, or confirmed that the employer will hire you or pay what they advertise. Use your own judgment, ask the employer directly, and report anything that looks wrong.

Rules for Employer Listings

  • The job must be real, currently open and located in the United States.
  • State the pay: a range, a day rate, a monthly figure or a clear formula such as a crew share. Listings with no pay can be sent back.
  • Describe housing and meals honestly, including any rent or deductions taken from pay.
  • Never charge applicants a fee to apply, to be placed or to be trained.
  • The listing must not discriminate against applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law, and must otherwise comply with employment law.
  • No multi-level marketing, commission-only schemes presented as wages, or listings that collect personal data for anything other than hiring.
  • You must be allowed to hire for the job and to publish the details you post.

We can edit a listing for clarity and formatting, send it back for changes, or decline it. We may remove a live listing that breaks these rules; if we remove it for a reason that was not in the listing when you posted, we refund you.

Payment

Prices and plan lengths are shown on Post a Job before you pay. You pay once per listing by card through Stripe’s secure checkout; we never see or store your card number. A listing runs for the number of days in the plan you choose, starting when it goes live. There are no other fees. Refunds are covered in our Refund Policy.

Early Access Subscriptions

  • Early Access renews automatically. You are charged the price shown when you signed up, every month or every year, on the date you signed up, until you cancel.
  • Right after you join, we email you a confirmation with your plan, the price, how often it renews and how to cancel.
  • On a yearly plan, we email you a reminder 15 to 45 days before it renews, with the renewal date, the price and a link to cancel.
  • Cancel any time online from the billing link in any Early Access email. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for and are not charged again.
  • We do not give partial refunds for unused time, except where the law requires it.
  • If the price of your plan changes, we will email you at least 30 days before the new price applies, and you can cancel before then.
  • Early Access shows listings earlier. It does not guarantee an interview or a job.

Job Wanted Posts

  • You must be 16 or older to post.
  • Job Wanted posts are free and stay up for 60 days. We read each one before it goes live.
  • Write only about yourself, and only what is true. No contact details in the text of the post.
  • Your email address is never shown. Employers write to you through a relay form and their message arrives in your inbox with their reply address.
  • We can decline or remove a post that breaks these rules. You can take yours down at any time from your private link.

Using WildWork Fairly

Don’t:

  • copy, scrape or bulk-download listings, Job Wanted posts or other content, or use bots or automated tools to access WildWork, except search engines that follow our robots.txt;
  • collect names, email addresses or other details of applicants, Job Wanted posters or employers, or use them for anything other than the job in question;
  • use the Job Wanted relay form to send advertising, recruiting for unrelated work, or messages the poster did not invite;
  • post a job that does not exist, charge applicants a fee to apply or be placed, or pretend to be another business;
  • try to get into accounts, admin pages or systems that are not yours, or interfere with how the site runs.

We can remove content and block access for anyone who breaks these rules. Refunds for a removed listing follow Rules for Employer Listings above and our Refund Policy.

Information, Not Advice

Our How-Tos, the Pay Report, the Housing Report and the pay figures on job pages are general information. Each one cites its sources and the date we checked them, but laws, license requirements, pay tables and program rules change. Pay summaries are calculated from listings on WildWork and are not a promise of what any job pays. Nothing on WildWork is legal, tax, financial or safety advice. Before you rely on it, check the current rule with the agency or employer named in the source.

Reporting a Problem

If a listing looks like a scam, asks you for money, or is no longer open, email hello@wildwork.io with the link. We review reports and take listings down while we check.

Copyright

We respect copyright and expect everyone who posts on WildWork to do the same.

Reporting infringement. If you believe something on WildWork infringes your copyright, send a notice to our copyright agent (below) that includes:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • the copyrighted work you believe is infringed;
  • the material on WildWork you believe infringes it, with its web address;
  • your name, mailing address, phone number and email;
  • a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Counter-notice. If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, send our copyright agent: your physical or electronic signature; the material removed and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and phone number, with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district where WildWork may be found) and will accept service from the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after a valid counter-notice unless we learn that a court action has been filed.

Repeat infringers. We remove posts, listings and access for anyone who repeatedly infringes copyright.

Copyright agent: Copyright Agent, MannMade LLC, PO Box 4577, Bend, OR 97707 · hello@wildwork.io. You can also ask us to take down a summarized listing without a formal notice: use Remove a Listing.

Your Content

You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you let us show it on WildWork, in our emails and in feeds that point back to WildWork, and to make small edits for length and clarity.

If a Claim Comes to Us Because of You

You are responsible for what you post and for how you use WildWork. If someone brings a claim against WildWork or MannMade LLC because of your listing or post, your job or workplace (including pay, housing, safety and hiring decisions), or your breaking these terms or the law, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, including legal fees, and any amount we have to pay. We will tell you about the claim, and you may help defend it with counsel we reasonably approve.

What We Are Not Responsible For

WildWork is a place to find and post outdoor jobs. Employers make hiring decisions, set pay and housing, and run their workplaces; applicants decide where to apply and what to accept. We work to keep listings accurate, but we cannot guarantee that an employer will hire you, pay what they advertise, or provide the housing or conditions they describe, or that a listing, guide or pay figure is complete, current or correct.

WILDWORK, ITS LISTINGS, GUIDES, REPORTS AND EMAILS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ACCURACY, AND WE DO NOT PROMISE THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS: (A) WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR LOSSES THAT COME FROM A JOB, AN EMPLOYER, AN APPLICANT, A LISTING OR A THIRD-PARTY SITE, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, WAGES OR DATA; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO WILDWORK IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF WHAT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR $100.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for our own fraud or gross negligence, or rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.

Ending Your Use

You can stop using WildWork at any time. We can suspend or remove accounts, posts or listings that break these terms.

Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon and applicable United States law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Oregon, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.

Talk to us first. If you have a dispute with WildWork, email hello@wildwork.io with what happened and what you want. We will try to resolve it within 30 days, and both of us agree not to start a court case before then.

Where cases are heard. Any court case about WildWork or these terms will be brought in the state or federal courts serving Deschutes County, Oregon, and you and we consent to those courts. Either of us may instead bring a claim in small claims court where it qualifies.

The Rest of the Fine Print

These terms, with our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy and any terms shown at checkout, are the whole agreement between you and WildWork about the site. If a court finds part of them unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later. You can’t transfer your rights under these terms; we can transfer ours if WildWork is sold or reorganized. Links to other sites, including employers’ application pages, are for your convenience: those sites have their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

Changes and Contact

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and material changes will be announced on the site.
