• Position title / role:
• Organization/company/farm name:
• Website:
• Location of work: (for this position)
• City/town/region:
• Province:    (select 'Other' for multiples) Choose British Columbia Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba Ontario Quebec New Brunswick Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia Newfoundland Yukon Northwest Territories Nunavut All provinces / anywhere in Canada Other / Multiple (please clarify in posting or comments)
• Country:
• Is the position virtual/ remote/ from home?  If so, please clarify what you mean by these words. Would you like candidates to apply only if they live nearby? Or anywhere in your province? Anywhere in Canada? Qualified candidates living where should apply...?    Candidate Location
  
  For the right candidate, could this position be performed from home? If so, please describe your requirements. Being clear on this — and flexible if possible — can greatly improve the response.
  
  Are you seeking candidates currently living nearby, e.g. “Within commuting distance of ___”?  “Weekly meetings required, at our offices in downtown ___”?  “Local candidates preferred, but for the right candidate, would consider someone located anywhere in Canada”? Please describe any location-based requirements, meetings, travel, etc.
  
  Tip: In today's economy, it can be hard to find great candidates. If possible, invite applicants from anywhere in Canada, and be clear what options you would consider ‘for the right candidate’. E.g. work-from-home, travel assistance, some other arrangement? If you're clear about possible options, you're more likely to attract a great candidate who otherwise would not have applied. Of course, when reviewing candidates, you can always choose someone local if you think that's the best fit.

  We request a small fee to help you fill this role with the best possible person. It's how we sustain this service.
  
  If you're hiring someone who you'll be paying many thousands in wages or salary, is it good budgeting to pinch pennies to find the right person?

  The bottom line: We'll help you find the best candidate. If this is your first time here, you'll be surprised by the calibre of people you'll reach, and the depth of our service.

  • no corporate corruption
  • no fossil fuel complicity
  • no greenwash
  • real, dedicated people, working for you and the cause.

  Why...
