Canadian Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation Services Job Board Review

Review:

The CVVRS job board offered employers access to a pool of highly skilled ex-military professionals. While employers could also make use of CVVRS's support services to help veterans settle into their new jobs, it lacked conventional hiring services, such as resume searches, job ad distribution, and applicant tracking.

Pros:

• Job ads could be posted for free.
• Employers had access to thousands of veterans interested in transitioning into new careers.
• Job seekers were highly skilled and pre-vetted by the site.
• The CVVRS provided on-the-job support for employers to ensure employees fit into their new work environment.
• The posting process was quick and easy.
• The site was available in English and French.

Cons:

• The CVVRS job board did not expand on its recruitment services on its website.
• Employers could not edit or delete job posts themselves.
• The platform did not have a resume database or access to additional candidate management tools.

CVVRS Job Board vs. Indeed:

While the CVVRS job board was a niche job posting site for veterans, Indeed is a general job board with an international presence. Both sites offer free job postings, but Indeed also offers paid options to access a resume database for improve visibility. Indeed has a much larger reach but CVVRS had a niche focus for those looking to hire veterans.

CVVRS Job Board vs. Helmets to Hardhats:

Helmets to Hardhats are expert recruiters who assist veterans with finding work in the construction industry. Both sites offer free job posting, but Helmets to Hardhats features resume search tools, which the CVVRS job board lacked. Unlike Helmets to Hardhats, CVVRS offered on-the-job support to ensure a smooth transition of veterans into their new work environment.

CVVRS Job Board vs. LinkedIn:

LinkedIn is a general job board where employers can recruit veterans, while the CVVRS job board was a niche job board exclusively for veterans. LinkedIn is a pay-per-click job site with a free job posting plan, while the CVVRS was completely free to use. LinkedIn stands out with targeted email adverting services, which the CVVRS job board lacked.
