Since 2023, PurposeHire helps people in India explore impact careers through honest, in-depth role explainers that go beyond job descriptions to focus on real-world impact and fit.
The impact sector asks more of its people — and its hiring. A role here isn't just a job title. It comes with community realities, funding constraints, compliance environments, and programmatic complexity that most candidates aren't prepared for — and most job descriptions don't explain.
PurposeHire exists to make this ecosystem easier to navigate. Professionals can discover relevant courses to build sector-ready skills and find meaningful career opportunities, while organisations can connect with and hire talent that understands the sector.
PurposeHire is an initiative by Forward Impact — rooted in the larger impact consulting ecosystem and active since 2023. Built from years of working closely with NGOs, CSR teams, and social enterprises, we understand this sector from the inside.
