Adonea.ai

A hiring service being built to match people to jobs on what they can do, with clear requirements and working conditions up front. It is aimed at people whose age, disability, neurodivergence, caring duties or career gaps get them overlooked.

Why I recommend it: Still in development, so there may be little to use yet. Check the site for whether it has launched and what it costs.

The State of the Black Labor Market

A free Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies brief (September 2026) on Black employment, wages, unemployment and the sectors driving the gaps.

Why I recommend it: Data you can quote. Useful if you are making the case for a hiring or pay decision and need a source rather than an opinion.

Tech Ladies Job Board

The Tech Ladies job board: vetted roles at companies that actively recruit women in technical and non-technical tech jobs.

Why I recommend it: A smaller board where a real person screened the employers. Worth more than a thousand raw listings.

How My Neurodivergent Brain Works

DiversityJobs

A job board connecting employers with candidates from underrepresented groups, including veterans, people with disabilities, and women.
