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.

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.
Pros:

- Employers gain access to an international database that features a wide pool of creative talent.
- Job seekers are able to search for jobs by location and specialties to help find niche jobs faster.
- Canadian employers can post job vacancies or freelance projects.
- Reputable companies such as Facebook, Dropbox, Apple, and Shopify use Dribbble.
- Features a large community of designers and creatives with helpful resources, tutorials, and design tips.
- Dribbble offers excellent filters and hiring tools for searching for suitable candidates.
Cons:

- Dribbble does not support French translation.
- Dribbble support is only available via email.
- Customer care hours are not specified on the website.
- The platform lacks applicant tracking tools.
