Hey! Anson here.
I started Just ID Jobs more than two years ago because I saw industrial designers everywhere facing the same challenge: finding relevant job opportunities. Every designer I knew had their own weird tricks for filtering and searching. So I decided to build a platform to automate that process and share it.
Since then, Just ID Jobs has grown into a valuable resource for the ID community, attracting tens of thousands of views a month. Many designers have found their current jobs through the site, and many companies have found great new talent. I want to keep supporting the ID community through Just ID Jobs, and as far as I can tell, the original need has not disappeared.
After a busy end to 2025 and an even busier start to 2026, I have realized that it is no longer financially or operationally feasible to keep Just ID Jobs running as it is. The site takes significant upkeep and resources to maintain. My main focus is my own design practice, so Just ID Jobs has always been a nights-and-weekends project.
But don't worry. This is not the end of Just ID Jobs, just a pause.
I plan to re-launch Just ID Jobs soon in a form that is less commercial, easier to maintain, and more community-oriented. To do that, I need to take some time to re-think, re-tool, and re-design the site.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the site, from every ID job seeker to every company who trusted Just ID Jobs to help them find new talent. And thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share kind words with me about Just ID Jobs.
I hope Just ID Jobs can continue to serve the ID community going forward. If you have any thoughts or comments, feel free to drop me a line.
Stay tuned!
