OUR STORY

Emily Chavez got her start in recruiting in 2016, with a fast-growing local charter school hiring several hundred teachers per year (no easy feat in Arizona!). This experience taught her how to think outside the box with innovative solutions and a "never say never" approach.

Fast forward five years to July 2021, when hiring challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Great Resignation were at their peak - Emily had a 6-month old daughter motivating her to make a career change, and knew the lack of affordable recruitment options for small businesses and nonprofits. With a supportive husband keeping their family afloat, Emily had the exciting opportunity to put her entrepreneurship degree to use, and launched Joyful Jobs!

Over two years later, we have helped nearly 50 deserving nonprofits and small businesses fill over 70 positions with stellar employees. We hope you will join us on our journey as we continue to help grow cohesive communities!

ABOUT US

WORK

“Our first experience working with Emily and Joyful Jobs was outstanding. Emily was very easy to communicate with and she was always timely with answering our questions, reaching out to prospective candidates, and setting up interviews. We'll be sure to work with her again!”

-Luke S., nonprofit hiring manager

ABOUT US

My name is Emily Chavez, and I am the Founder and CEO of Joyful Jobs.

I dreamed about being a business owner for years, and obtained a dual degree in Business Management & Entrepreneurship at the University of Arizona. In July 2021, I was blessed to make my goal a reality with the launch of Joyful Jobs - and I have loved just about every minute of it!

Joyful Jobs is my baby, but my family is my top priority. My faith and treating everyone with kindness and respect are integral in everything I do.

Personally, in my limited free time, I enjoy horseback riding, skiing, traveling, wine tasting, camping, reading, time with friends and family, and playing basketball, softball, and volleyball.

I am a connector and would love to help you in any way, whether it is your hiring or job search needs, a referral to other trusted professionals in varying industries from my large network, or simply an exploratory meeting or listening ear!

TEAM

SERVICES

Joyful Jobs is a recruiting agency that provides fast, flexible, and affordable talent acquisition services catered to small and medium sized businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Are you a small business owner who doesn't have time to create job ads and wade through resumes? Does your nonprofit team struggle with effective interviews and selecting the BEST candidate, or maybe you're not all aligned in what you're looking for? Have you used the phrase, "It's a really unique company/position"? Are you confused by the constant shifts in the labor market or feel you're simply not attracting the right types of candidates? We can help!

Our entire process and business model is crafted uniquely for SMBs and nonprofit organizations (and their budgets). We understand that many of our clients are on a limited budget, and we want to help you find top talent without being forced to pay top dollar.

Unlike most agencies that charge a percentage of the new hire’s salary as a placement fee (usually a large amount of 20-30%, easily totaling $15,000-30,000+ per hire), we have a more equitable flat fee structure so that you know exactly what you’ll pay us regardless of what you pay your new hire. We also believe this is more ethical and eliminates a conflict of interest, as the salary you pay your new employee does not impact how high or low our fee is.
