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.
