Dribbble
Dribbble offers an online community for employers looking to post job vacancies in the creative industry. With Dribbble, employers gain access to an impressive database of designers and creative professionals from around the world.
Dribbble was founded in 2009 as a remote-based networking community for those in the creative industry.

Currently, there are no Dribbble offices and all employees are remote-based.

Review:
Dribbble equips job seekers and employers with a creative space to explore job opportunities, share content and feedback, and showcase projects. While the site is widely recognized as an online networking site, employers are able to post full-time, part-time, and freelance job opportunities.
For Canadian employers, Dribbble offers access to an international database that's perfect for those looking to hire remote workers. However, employers looking to hire local candidates fast may find better success with job boards such as FreshGigs.ca, thanks to the two competitors' local reach and popularity.
