Boise is seeing a dynamic week of hiring across public, private, and non-profit sectors, providing listeners with a variety of options no matter what stage of career they’re in. According to the State of Idaho’s career portal, several government roles have freshly opened in Boise. Listeners can apply for positions such as Economic Development Specialist with a competitive salary, archivist-collections roles, a parole hearing investigator, and even environmental health land program management, with most positions offering pay between $25 and $46 per hour and deadlines stretching into early August.

State jobs aren’t the only highlight. Express Employment Professionals, a major staffing agency in the Boise area, just posted urgent openings this week for roles like early stage counselor customer service representatives, on-call cooks, moving packers, groundskeepers, and seasonal event staff. Pay typically ranges from $15 to $26 per hour, depending on the role and schedule requirements. These jobs emphasize both entry-level and skilled labor, with some temp-to-hire possibilities that could lead to a permanent position.

Boise’s non-profits are also active. The Boise Art Museum is hiring both a visitor services associate and a development associate, with the visitor services job offering $15 per hour and expecting 20 flexible hours per week including some weekends, ideal for listeners interested in arts or customer service. Museums often provide excellent experience for people interested in local culture or public engagement.

Corporate employers remain strong in Boise this week. Wells Fargo is accepting applicants for a roving personal banker with a 10 percent pay differential, but act fast as posting closes soon. Indeed lists thousands of local roles updated daily; this past week’s batch includes remote customer service representatives with CVS Health, front desk and accounts payable specialists, general warehouse workers, and a highly flexible pet sitter/dog walker opportunity with The Pet Sitter of Boise LLC. In-N-Out Burger and Burger King are both seeking shift supervisors or store associates, both offering above-average hourly salaries and chances for advancement.

For listeners with a technical background, positions for IT info security engineers, budget analysts, technical records specialists, and hydrogeologists were all posted with immediate need in state and private sectors. Those preferring a blend of manual work and independence can find current job listings for CDL-A drivers, route service technicians, and custodians, as well as event groundskeepers looking after well-known local parks.

From arts and non-profits to government, finance, healthcare, retail, and hands-on skilled labor, Boise’s job market this week is full of well-paying, diverse opportunities with start dates and deadlines quickly approaching. With this week’s fresh openings and prompt deadlines, listeners looking for their next opportunity should move fast, tailor their application materials, and take advantage of these positions before they close.
