Questions about hiring?

How do I post a job in Canada?

Create an employer account, set up your company profile once, then write the posting: pay, hours, work locations and how to apply. Review it exactly as job seekers will see it and publish; it goes live on First Nations Employment as soon as payment is confirmed, appears in Find Jobs and on your company page, and is sent to job seekers whose job alerts match. Recruiting for a client? A consultant account posts under the client’s name.

How much does it cost to advertise a job?

Employers pay $19.95 + GST ($20.95 in total) per posting per month; third-party consultants posting for a client pay $14.95 + GST ($15.70 in total) per posting per month. A posting renews every month until you cancel it, and every payment has a receipt. Job seekers never pay.

Can I use a posting for LMIA recruitment advertising?

Yes: each posting has a dated, printable record of advertisement you can keep for your LMIA file. The “Print this posting” button on the posting page prints it, with when the job was posted, how long it has been advertised, the date printed, its web address and its Posting ID. First Nations Employment is not part of Employment and Social Development Canada or Service Canada and cannot confirm that your advertising meets the LMIA requirements, so check the current requirements on canada.ca.

How do I reach Indigenous job seekers across Canada?

Post the job on First Nations Employment. It appears in Find Jobs and on your company page, and job seekers whose job alerts match its kind of work and province hear about it in the app or by email. Clear pay, hours and locations help the right people decide to apply.

Who can create an employer account?

Any organization hiring for its own team. If you recruit on behalf of clients, use a consultant account instead: it lets you post under each client's name.

What information can I include in a job posting?

Title, salary range and pay period, hours, employment type, on-site, hybrid or remote, locations, experience, education, workplace languages, skills, requirements, benefits, number of openings, an application deadline, and how to apply.

Can I edit my job after publishing?

Yes. Edit a live posting at any time and the changes go live immediately. You can also pause, reactivate or duplicate it.

How do applicants apply?

On the platform, with their resume and an optional cover letter. You review, shortlist and download resumes from your dashboard, and applicants are notified as their status changes. An external apply link or email address also works.
