Submit A Job Post to The Vendor Job Marketplace

 

Are you a Portland Farmers Market vendor looking to hire market booth staff?

Let us help you find candidates via our online job marketplace! 

Finding job applicants while operating your business takes time and effort. We have created the PFM Vendor Job Marketplace for our vendors to assist in their search.

PFM Vendor Job Marketplace is available to only our vendors and is a perk of the PFM Vendor Membership program.

If you are interested in submitting a job opportunity to be posted on the marketplace, read the guidelines below first, then submit your Vendor Job Marketplace Post Request.

To preview the Vendor Job Marketplace, check it out here! We expect the marketplace to go live and be available to the public on the week of June 12, 2023.
