With the Canadian Live Music Association job board, job posting is only free for members, with nonmembers having to pay C$75.00 +HST per post. However, only The Mandy Network has applicant tracking.

The Mandy Network vs. Orchestras Canada Job Board:

Despite both The Mandy Network and the Orchestras Canada job board offering targeted hiring, only the latter targets those in the orchestra sector. While The Mandy Network is free of charge, the Orchestras Canada job board charges C$85.00 per post for members and C$175.00 per post for nonmembers, making it the costlier alternative.

The Mandy Network vs. MusicCareers:

The Mandy Network is free, while MusicCareers' pricing begins at US$149.00 per post. However, the latter does provide a free plan for internships, freelance, and volunteer positions. MusicCareers is missing applicant tracking tools, unlike The Mandy Network, but it compensates for this with its featured listings.
