Weekly Short
18 March, 2022
Continuing our B-Corp month-themed Goods slot, we’re shouting out to Escape the City, the platform connecting ambitious professionals that are searching for a meaningful career with purpose-driven organisations that are doing good for people and the planet.
Escape the City are building a community of people who believe what we always have — that life’s too short to do work that doesn’t matter to you. And that doing something different is possible.
Since 2010 Escape The City has been on a mission to help 1,000,000 people find work that matters to them, and the world.
We’re proud to have been included in the Escape 100 list for the past three years – an award that recognises those companies that are making a difference across a range of different metrics, so perhaps we’re not entirely objective. However, the truth is that Escape the City is an expert-led community of 500k purpose-driven escapees and progressive employers that makes finding work that matters to you as easy as possible.
Escape the City hosts events, provide resources and partner on a range of accelerator programmes to help enrich and upskill “Escapees”. In support of B Corp month, throughout March they will be publishing a range of events, articles and insights into being a B Corp. As one of just 62 founding certified organisations in the UK in 2015, and recently recertifying for the third time, they embody B Corp’s better business framework. So, if you’re looking for a great new job, with purpose at its heart, where better to start your search? And, if you’re an organisation looking for a great new hire, use the code GoodEscape to get 30% off any pay-as-you-go job listings.
