International job boards

Most global job boards and job search engines have local websites in various countries. They’re well-known among job seekers and many of them offer a resume database to help you source candidates. Here are some of the best international job boards with local versions in Canada:

Indeed Canada

The global mega-aggregator Indeed has various country-specific branches, including a Canadian version. Indeed collects and displays jobs from other sites (like your careers page) for free, if the job ads meet its standards. Indeed also offers free and paid posting options right from its platform. You can benefit from integrations with search engines WowJobs and SimplyHired, which was acquired by Recruit Holdings, Indeed’s parent company. (Recruit Holdings recently acquired Workopolis too).

Glassdoor

Glassdoor is a global review site and job board (also recently acquired by Recruit Holdings). Millions of candidates visit this site to explore and leave reviews as well as look for jobs. This means that Glassdoor gives you both a platform to post jobs and an opportunity to build up your employer brand. You can do this by responding to reviews and sharing information about your workplace (including photos and videos).

Monster Canada

One of the most visited job boards worldwide, Monster, has a popular branch in Canada. This job board attracts millions of job seekers every month and has built an impressive resume database. When you post your job ad, Monster will recommend resumes that match your criteria, helping you find the best candidates faster.

CareerBuilder Canada

CareerBuilder Canada is the local version of global employment site CareerBuilder. You can use this platform to post jobs (there are paid plans depending on the number of jobs you want to have posted simultaneously) or search the vast resume database for resumes that meeting your criteria.

Local job boards

There are several country-based job sites in Canada which are often very popular with local talent. Here are some well-known Canadian job sites:

Eluta.ca

This Toronto-based job board is branded as the “official job search engine of Canada’s Top 100 Employers project”, attracting millions of candidates annually. You can display your job ads for free on Eluta, provided they’re already published on your careers page. Or you can choose to post a sponsored job ad to increase visibility among job seekers.

Jobbank

The official government job board of Canada has two versions, Job Bank in English and Job Bank in French and it’s one of the best free job posting sites in Canada. Your job ad will reach job seekers from all provinces, both English- and French-speaking, and you can market it to groups of people, like veterans, indigenous peoples or people with disabilities. Job Bank will also show you a list of candidates who match your requirements.

Jobillico

Jobillico Canada is based in Quebec and used by two million job seekers, according to its website. It has recently partnered with Job Bank, so if you have an account with Jobillico, your job ad will also appear there at no extra cost so you can reach more candidates.

Jobboom

Employers use Jobboom to post jobs mainly in Quebec. This job board is popular in the province and recently partnered with Google to give job seekers better access to its job postings. And, if you want to post summer jobs or internships, you can do so for free.
