For Job Seekers

Is it free to create a candidate profile?

Yes — completely. Creating your profile, browsing job listings, and applying to roles on Careers Connect Canada is always free for job seekers. There are no hidden fees, premium tiers, or paywalls.

Careers Connect Canada was built for any motivated job seeker in Ontario — including newcomers to Canada, internationally trained professionals, Indigenous job seekers, people with disabilities, BIPOC candidates, women returning to the workforce, and anyone who has felt overlooked by mainstream hiring processes. Every background is welcome here.

Not at all. While our platform supports candidates with professional certifications, we welcome candidates at all stages of their career. Life experience, transferable skills, and lived knowledge all have value — and many of our employers actively seek candidates with diverse, non-traditional backgrounds.

Once your profile is complete, employers can search the candidate database using skills, location, and industry filters. A complete, detailed profile significantly increases your visibility. We also recommend keeping your profile updated as your situation and goals change.

Our current employer network spans nonprofit, retail, hospitality, administration, skilled trades, construction, technology, healthcare support, and training-related roles — with new employers and sectors added regularly.

Our team is here for you. Email us at emailus@careersconnect.ca or use the Contact Us page. We’re real people who are invested in your success — not a bot.

For Employers

What does the 90-day free trial include?

Your free trial includes full access to the platform — unlimited job postings, candidate profile search, CV downloads, diversity fields, NOC code integration, featured job slots, and all employer tools. A credit card is required to get started, and you won’t be charged until your trial period ends.

After your trial, your membership continues at just $11.99/month for unlimited postings. Choose annual billing and save an additional 5%. You can cancel at any time — no contracts, no penalties.
Our diversity fields allow you to signal your workplace’s commitments to inclusion on every job posting. They also help us match your role with candidates who are actively seeking inclusive employers — creating a better experience on both sides of the hiring process.
The Employer Information Kit is a practical guide included with your membership. It covers the benefits of inclusive hiring, how to onboard candidates from underrepresented groups, guidance on working with candidates with disabilities, and an overview of training-fund options available to you as an employer.

Careers Connect Canada connects employers with available funding programs that can cover up to 12 weeks of candidate onboarding and training costs. This means you can bring on a great candidate without absorbing the full cost of getting them up to speed. Our team can walk you through the options available for your sector.

Yes. All employer accounts are protected with two-step verification, and our platform is built to ensure your job postings, candidate data, and communications are kept secure and private.

A National Occupational Classification (NOC) code is a standardized Canadian system for categorizing job roles. Adding a NOC code to your posting improves candidate matching, helps your role appear in relevant searches, and ensures internationally trained candidates — who often use NOC codes to navigate the Canadian job market — can find your listing.
