Jobvertise

Review:

Jobvertise is a U.S.-based job portal that allows job seekers from Canada, as well as international candidates, to upload their resumes. Canadian employers can use the site to browse resumes and post jobs completely free with the basic plan or select one of the paid plans for additional features.

Only the paid plans include features such as promoted job postings, the option to view resumes in different file formats, resume email alerts, and resume database filters. While the platform is user-friendly and affordable, it does not have a big footprint in Canada, making more popular local options, such as Job Bank, better choices.

Pros:

• The basic plan is free and allows for job postings and resume searches.
• The site includes international resumes and job postings.
• Featured jobs are promoted with premium partners, listed at the top of search results, displayed in bold, and sent to Jobvertise's mailing list.
• Employers can view resumes posted within the last 30 days, receive resume alerts, view resumes in various file formats, and filter these by category and title.
• Job seekers can subscribe to have their resumes featured towards the top of relevant resume searches and mailed directly to recruiters and employers through the Jobvertise Resume Distribution Service.

Cons:

• The user interface looks a bit dated and could be more appealing.
• Jobvertise is directed at the U.S. market and doesn't have much of a presence in Canada, making local alternatives better options for recruiting within the country.
• The majority of features are only available with a subscription.
• The platform offers limited features and lacks basics like employer profiles or the display of company logos in search results.
• Pricing is only available in U.S. dollars.
• There is no French language option.

Reputation:

Jobvertise is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an A+ rating. No other reviews could be found at this time.

Jobvertise vs. Job Bank:

Job Bank is Canada’s national employment service and one of the most visited job portals in Canada. Unlike Jobvertise, Job Bank offers an extensive range of resources for both employers and job seekers, from career planning to information on employment standards. Unlike Jobvertise, Job Bank does not offer a sponsored tier or a resume database.

Jobvertise vs. Talent.com:

Talent.com is a Canada-based job site with global reach. The platform has a much more appealing user interface than Jobvertise, is available in French, which Jobvertise is not, and attracts far more traffic than Jobvertise. Both platforms offer free and paid options.

Jobvertise vs. Indeed:

Indeed is the most visited job site in Canada and attracts a far larger target audience than Jobvertise, which hardly has a presence in the country. Indeed offers more resources and tools than Jobvertise, along with more attractive features for employers, such as company pages and candidate assessments, as well as a French-language option.
