🤟 About DeafCanWork

Who Built This

Rob Bailey is Deaf, lives in the Portland, Oregon area, and holds a degree in IT. He built DeafCanWork for a simple reason: he kept watching talented Deaf people get overlooked — and it happened to him too.

Rob was denied ASL interpreters at job interviews. Not once. Instead of accepting a hiring system that shuts Deaf workers out, he built his own door — a job board where Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, and DeafBlind talent come first.

Our Mission

How It Works

• Every listing is verified before it goes up — the job must be real, current, and genuinely doable by a Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, or DeafBlind worker.
• Communication-access tags on every listing, so you know exactly how each employer communicates before you apply.
• No phone-tag. Applications and employer contact run on email and text — the way our community actually communicates.
• Free for job seekers. Always.

Our Standard

DeafCanWork is not a generic job board. We list Deaf-friendly employers only — businesses that genuinely welcome Deaf workers. We don't post openings from just any hearing business. If an employer doesn't respect our community, they don't get a listing.

That standard is what makes DeafCanWork different — and it's not negotiable.
