Redefining public health hiring.
Connecting the right people
to the right opportunities.

Precision matching, verified employers, and a community built to help careers move forward.

Who We Are

We're building more than a
job board.

We're building the career ecosystem public health deserves — one that connects job seekers to real opportunities across every industry, and helps employers discover the value public health talent brings to their teams.

About Us

A job board built with public health in mind, start to finish.

Platform

Custom-built from the ground up

Not a job board plug-in or white-label solution — it's a fully functional, custom-built platform. Not just a job list or a newsletter, but a real career hub updated every single day.

Coverage

Every industry, every opportunity

All industries are included, making it a one-stop shop for public health job seekers — whether they want to work in non-profit, tech, or something in between. And for all employers, whether they know clearly that they need public health professionals or not.

Precision

50+ Public Health Competency filters

Our competency filter lets professionals find roles that match their specific skills and niche — not just a broad “public health” tag. Employers can tap into a hidden talent market and zero in on the exact expertise their team needs.

Community

A dual-sided platform

Built equally for job seekers and employers. Not skewed toward one side. Because the best hires and the best careers happen when both sides of the equation have the tools they need.

Smart matching and dedicated support designed to make your job search easier, faster, and more human.

Smart Matching

Get matched to roles based on your specific competencies, not just a broad job title.

Verified Employers

Every employer on PHIT is vetted, so you're applying to real, active public health roles.

Real-Time Alerts

New openings land in your inbox the moment they're posted — no more refreshing job boards.

Career Support

Resources and guidance to help you grow, not just get hired.

Our Story

From a simple Instagram post to a movement connecting public health talent and opportunity.

2018The spark
2021First offer
TodayPHIT

PHIT began with one unexpected job posting that showed our founder, Michelle Obijekwu, MPH, what was possible beyond traditional public health roles. After navigating her own career transition into industry, she created PHIT to help others discover opportunities, understand the value of their skills, and navigate new career paths. What started as an Instagram page grew into a community, and now into a purpose-built platform connecting public health professionals with opportunities and employers. Today, we're building the infrastructure for the next generation of public health careers.
