SAC Careers

Review:

SAC is Canada's only membership organization for speech-language pathologists. The job board attracts a wide range of speech-language professionals, granting employers access to a national hub of skilled workers to advertise to. Companies enjoy a wide range of job posting options and membership advantages such as resource sharing and networking.

Pros:

• Job posts last for 60 days instead of the usual 30, and companies can pay extra for an additional 30 days.
• Vacancies can also be advertised on the company's home page, which attracts over 5,000 visitors each month.
• Jobs can be featured on the company blog, Communiqué, reaching over 6,000 SAC members.
• Listings advertised on targeted emails give jobs added reach.
• Employers can choose to advertise vacancies at conferences.
• SAC members gain multiple benefits, such as access to conferences, networking opportunities, and resource sharing.
• There are close to 200 listings currently advertised on the job board, indicating popularity with employers.
• The website is available in both English and French.
• SAC shares job posts on its social media channels.
• Discounts are available on multiple job posts.

Cons:

• There are no free job posting options.
• There is no job posting template. Job posts must be created by the user and emailed to the advertising department.
• Listings are not distributed to other job boards, limiting their reach.
• There is no candidate resume database for employers to search through.

Reputation:

SAC has a membership count of more than 6,000, indicating its credibility and status in the Canadian healthcare space. However, we were unable to find reviews of their job board.

SAC Careers vs. TherapyBC:

TherapyBC only serves British Columbia and caters to pediatric workers, while SAC is Canada's national home for speech-language and audiology professionals, where employers can reach talent across the country. TherapyBC lets employers advertise for free, while SAC Careers' pricing starts at C$350.00 per job post. Use TherapyBC if hiring locally and on a budget.

SAC Careers vs. The University of British Columbia:

The University of British Columbia lets companies post jobs for free, while SAC Careers charges C$350.00 per job post. Job posts on The University of British Columbia's job board have a limited scope as they only target B.C., while SAC is a national job board. However, the University of British Columbia is great for graduate recruitment.

SAC Careers vs. Indeed:

Despite Indeed being a general job posting site, it lists over 700 jobs for "speech language pathologist," compared to SAC Career's 200 jobs. Indeed is also more affordable than SAC and reaches a larger audience of job seekers. SAC's advantage is its membership programme which grants employers access to the Canadian speech-language pathology community.
