Review:
SimplyHired is a general, international job aggregator and search site. SimplyHired Canada is a country-specific version of the global brand and is powered by Indeed. Users can post their listings to the site via Indeed. Job ads are then distributed across a network of job boards, including popular Canadian sites like Kijiji Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs.
SimplyHired offers some great features, such as job description tools, a salary estimator, and a message board. While the Canadian site is also very affordable and easy to use, local sites like Job Bank and Eluta.ca are equally affordable but offer greater reach within the country.
Pros:
- The website is available in English and French.
- Job postings are distributed across a network of job boards, including the popular Canadian site Kijiji Jobs.
- SimplyHired assists with crafting effective job descriptions.
- The site offers applicant tracking and management services.
- Other convenient features include interview scheduling and assessment services.
- SimplyHired does not require a contract.
- The site collects postings from third-party sites and shares them.
- Top companies that use SimplyHired in Canada include Canada Post, Tim Hortons, Air Canada, and the Canadian government.
Cons:
- SimplyHired does not feature localized sources for employers like the popular, government-operated employment portal Job Bank.
- SimplyHired has received many negative customer reviews. These are, however, mostly from U.S. users.
- The site does not offer locally-based or location-specific customer support.
- Being powered by Indeed, the site essentially offers the same benefits and employers could go straight to Indeed.
Reputation:
While SimplyHired is not accredited with the Better Business Bureau, it does have a D- rating. There are also three negative customer reviews on BBB.
On Trustpilot, SimplyHired has over 120 customer reviews with an average rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars. Many of the customer complaints seem to focus on a lack of customer support.
SimplyHired vs. Indeed:
SimplyHired and Indeed are partners and often feature the same job vacancies. While both sites advertise general positions and boast a global reach, Indeed attracts far more traffic from Canada than SimplyHired. Since SimplyHired is essentially run by Indeed, users may be better off creating an account and posting a job directly with Indeed.
SimplyHired vs. Eluta.ca:
Eluta.ca and SimplyHired are both job aggregators directed at the local job market, and offer free and paid posting options. However, only SimplyHired is available in both English and French, offering employers access to bilingual candidates. The site also offers tools and resources that Eluta.ca lacks, such as a salary estimator.
SimplyHired vs. Workopolis:
SimplyHired and Workopolis are both partnered with Indeed and offer job aggregation services. A major difference between the two sites is their popularity in the local market. While SimplyHired's Canadian page is a regional version of the U.S. website, Workopolis is a homegrown Canadian brand that's better known by local job seekers.
