Need To Hire A Canadian? Find
Out Why It Is Critical That You Post Your Job At Workopolis
|
|
 No
matter what your reason is for needing to hire a Canadian
employee, you should be aware of some basic things before
you set out on your job posting adventure. First of all,
Canada is going through the same decline in worker population
- as are most other G8/G20 countries. This is largely
due to the baby-boomer generations' retirement from the
workforce. So what does this mean for you as an employer
trying to hire a Canadian? You are in direct competition
with companies from other G8/G20 nations. And, if you
are going to attract the same candidates as your competition,
you will have to advertise your job posting where your
competition is advertising. In addition, mature Canadians
– the ones with the skills and experience that you are
looking for – are far less inclined to want to relocate.
This means that you may need to adjust your candidate
search to compromise between the depth of experience and
the candidate's willingness to relocate.
Why Do I Need To Post My Job At Workopolis?
In Canada, there are many great job posting boards and
employment websites but the most popular by far is a website
called Workopolis. In a country where the population is
somewhere around 35 million people, Workopolis has over
2 million resumes in their resume database! This makes
them around twice the size of the next two competitors
combined. Workopolis claims that they receive one new
Canadian resume every second. If you have a limited job-advertising
budget then it would be well advised to focus it on a
job posting at Workopolis. For a few dollars more you
can attract the best Canadian candidates possible - all
in one place.
What Does Workopolis Offer That Makes It Different?
Workopolis is actually more than just an employment website.
Workopolis is most recognized for its main website of
the same name but they also operate a number of other
niche employment websites like WorkopolisCampus. Posting
a job posting on WorkopolisCampus will give you access
to candidates from over 150 universities and colleges.
Is your job posting for a very specific skill set or does
it require special professional certification? If so,
the Workopolis NicheNetwork may be for you. The Workopolis
NicheNetwork is comprised of a web of industry specific
employment websites each exactly tailored to their own
very tight grouping of professional skills and credentials.
So if you need an extremely focused list of candidates,
you will find it on the Workopolis NicheNetwork. Workopolis
also offers a plan that gives employer's access to the
Workopolis Resume Database of over 2 million resumes.
With this plan, you can search candidate who have already
entered their resumes into the database.
What Should I Look Out For?
Hiring new staff is a costly process. Keeping your human
resources budget in line can be problematic. The time
and effort of your human resources department alone can
run into the thousands of dollars per job as they write
job posting, screen applicants and review resumes. Workopolis
helps you to minimize this expensive process with a suite
of free human resources tools to help you to post successful
job posting ads, perform advance screening and ultimately
review your candidate's resumes.
How Much Does It Cost?
Workopolis has a number of different pricing options.
At the top end of the scale, employers can buy job postings
that will appear nationally for around $750 for 30 days.
They offer many lower priced options like regional exposure
where you can target a specific area like Western Canada
or Quebec. You can also buy time extension credits to
keep your add running after 30 days (for much less than
the original 30 day price). Workopolis even has special
offers and package deals where they throw-in one feature
when you buy another. |
