Help people take back their commute time.
WalkableJobs is a map-first job search that helps you find work that fits your life, not just your resume. Instead of scrolling listings and guessing at the drive, you browse open jobs on a map and filter them by distance from home.
Live now across Georgia, starting with retail and service roles.
Why we exist
Job search tools optimize for matching resumes to postings, and almost none of them treat your time as something worth protecting. A job that looks perfect on paper can quietly cost you two hours a day in traffic, time that could go to family, rest, or a second pursuit. We think the right job is one you can actually live with, and that starts with where it is.
A short commute is a job benefit
An hour each way is ten hours a week you never get back. Where a job is matters as much as what it pays, so distance should be a first-class part of the search rather than a footnote.
Search should start from where you live
Job boards sort by keyword relevance and rank whoever pays for placement. We start from your address and show you what is genuinely reachable.
Everyday jobs deserve better tools
Retail, healthcare and food service workers feel commute pain the most. Shifts start early, end late, and rarely line up with traffic. They are who we build for first.
What we're building
A job search built around real distance, not job-board guesswork.
- 1
Browse on a map
See open roles right on the map so you can quickly spot what is close to home, transit, or places you already go.
- 2
Search from your address
Enter a ZIP code or address and the map centers on your world, not on a list of postings sorted by someone else’s algorithm.
- 3
Filter by distance from home
Set how far you are willing to travel and both the map and the list keep only the jobs inside that distance, so every result is one you could actually get to.
Why Georgia first
We started in Atlanta, a city defined by its commutes, sprawling, car-dependent, and famous for its traffic. If a commute-first job search can work there, it can work anywhere. We now cover the whole state, from Savannah and Augusta to Columbus, Macon and Valdosta. Coverage is still densest around Atlanta, and we are filling in the rest before adding another state.
Questions people ask
What the map does today, in plain terms, including the parts it does not do yet.
- How do I find jobs close to my house?
- Start from your address rather than from a job title. On WalkableJobs you enter a ZIP code or let your browser share your location, set how far you are willing to travel, and the map shows the open jobs inside that distance. Every result carries how far it is from the point you set, so nothing on the list is a guess.
- Is there a map for job searches?
- Yes. WalkableJobs is map first: the map is the search rather than a view you switch into after a list of results. Open jobs appear as pins around the location you choose, and the list beside the map holds exactly the same set, so what you see on one is what you see on the other.
- Can I search jobs by commute?
- You can search by how far a job is from home, which is the part of a commute you can act on before you apply. The distance filter runs from 1 to 15 miles, measured straight line from the location you set. It does not yet narrow by drive time or transit time, and we would rather say so than show you a travel time we cannot stand behind.
- How do I find jobs within walking distance?
- Set the distance to 1 or 2 miles, the two shortest settings the slider offers. The map then holds only the jobs inside that ring of your address. Straight line distance is not the same as pavement distance, so treat the result as a shortlist and check the route before you apply.
- What job boards show jobs on a map?
- Most large boards offer a map as a secondary view, usually after a keyword search and often pinned to a city rather than to your address. WalkableJobs is built the other way round, with the map and the distance from your address first, and the filters narrowing the map and the list together. We cover Georgia today, most densely around Atlanta, with retail, healthcare and food service the largest categories.
