CAREER
WHO?
www.CareerOwl.ca
is a leading edge, e-recruiting service open to all, but with
special features to facilitate recruiting for the highly
qualified.
Workers and employers can use CareerOwl's job and
resume search for free.
This service was started in 1999 as a
volunteer project of Canadian university families to help Canadian
employers connect with the talent that their tax dollars helped to
train.
LOOK LOCALLY, OR NATION-WIDE WITHOUT CHARGE -- YOUR CHOICE!
Commercial services like Workopolis and Monster.ca let employers
search anywhere in Canada and have resume banks as well as job
postings, but charge employers substantial fees for publishing
their job ads and for looking at jobseeker resumes.
Other services like craigslist are free, but only support local
area search.
CareerOwl supports both local area and nationwide search.
CANADIAN STUDENTS STUDYING IN THE US AND EMPLOYERS RECRUITING FOR
THEIR US OPERATIONS CAN USE CAREEROWL TOO
If you’re a Canadian employer recruiting for your US
operations, you can use CareerOwl too. Or, if you’re a
Canadian student studying at the US university, check out the
Canadian job postings to see the sorts of positions you might want
to train for, or for students jobs you might get in summers back
home. Then switch to the US option on the browse jobs box to look
for part time and other work around where you’re going to
school.
THIS IS A
PRIVATE SECTOR SERVICE: CareerOwl is a non-profit, independent
service. It is also non-charitable. Hence the professors who
donated the start-up funding did not get any tax write-offs. Also,
no university or government dollars were used to develop
CareerOwl. Faculty families donated private after-tax dollars and
faculty members and students donated after-hours time to create
this service which now runs on revenue from publishing online ads,
with a paid staff on a non-profit, cost-recovery basis. CareerOwl
was created to make it easier and cheaper for Canada’s
employers to find and connect with the talent their tax dollars
helped to train.
