Streamlined Locations: You can now add up to 3 locations to your posting at no extra charge; - whereas previously it cost $100 for each additional location. You can even include a Province as the location of your role.

Added Flexibility for Evolving Job Types: We’ve added more job and location types for you to pick from. Making it easier to accommodate for the growing variety of job types that are now available.

A Note on Credit Bundles.

If you had existing pre-purchased Basic credits, we automatically upgraded you to the new Standard job posting type. Check your credit status by logging into your account.

For questions, please contact [email protected] or use the live chat feature after logging in.

A Newly Redesigned Job Posting Flow

We've completely redesigned our job posting process, making it simpler and more efficient with just three easy steps to advertise your next vacancy.

Now, you can craft your job listing effortlessly, either by generating descriptions with AI assistance based on your job title or by importing text from an existing job description.

Our update includes a broader range of job categories, no restrictions on location, enhanced category options, and the option to highlight job benefits—making your postings more attractive and detailed.

To streamline your initial screening, we've introduced the option to include screening questions directly as part of your application process.

Finally, to make sure your job postings get the attention they deserve on social media, we've upgraded our social sharing feature for maximum visibility post-publication.

Free Student & Recent Grad Job Postings.

Considering hiring emerging talent? If you're looking to hire a student or recent graduate through a summer or student job, internship or co-op program, you can now post those opportunities for FREE on CareerBeacon.

To post, just select “Student” as your job level and you can advertise that job opportunity at no cost.
