MTEC Job Board

Review:

The MTEC Job Board offers employers in Manitoba's tourism, hospitality, and retail sectors a targeted approach to finding local hires. While the job posting service is completely free, the site has little more to offer in terms of hiring tools, missing job post enhancements, branding opportunities, resume searches, and candidate management tools.

Pros:

• The job posting service is free.
• The site claims to attract a weekly average of more than 2,400 job seekers to its job site.
• The job posting process is quick and simple.
• Employers can customize the job post duration to any number of days up to 30.

Cons:

• There are no options to enhance job posts with employer branding or for increased visibility and exposure.
• The site does not offer candidate management tools or resume searches.

MTEC Job Board vs. mbjobs.ca:

Unlike MTEC Job Board, which is completely free, mbjobs.ca does not have a free job posting plan — only paid options, starting at C$75.00 per post. However, as a general job board for Manitoba, the latter reaches a wider audience, whereas MTEC Job Board is better for targeted hiring within the local retail and tourism sectors.

MTEC Job Board vs. MBJobcentre.ca:

MBJobcentre.ca does not have a free plan, and its paid plans start at C$219.00 for a 60-day post. MTEC Job Board, by comparison, only offers 30-day listings but is completely free. The latter has fewer features, lacking resume searches, which the former offers, but is the better option for targeted hiring for retail and tourism roles in Manitoba.

MTEC Job Board vs. EightSix Network:

MTEC Job Board and EightSix Network are both niche job boards, but MTEC Job Board primarily caters to Manitoba's tourism industry, whereas EightSix Network's focus is on the hospitality sector across the country. Both offer free job postings, but the latter has better features, such as resume searches and an applicant tracking system.
