APEGA Job Board

Review:

The APEGA job board provided a platform for employers to post highly-targeted job adverts in the province, and helped companies to find qualified professionals efficiently.

The site was a great way of advertising employment opportunities directly to APEGA-accredited members. Companies could assign members multiple accounts and the site provided discounts to registered APEGA permit holders.

Pros:

• The APEGA job board offered 30-day job postings with the option to extend.
• Organizations could assign multiple accounts to their staff.
• The site accommodated recruiters by letting them add and post on behalf of multiple clients.
• Employers got direct access to qualified APEGA-accredited members.
• APEGA offered discounted rates for pre-paid job posting purchases.

Cons:

• Only engineering and geosciences positions were be advertised on the site.
• The site's reach was limited to APEGA members only.
• APEGA did not offer a free job posting option or trial period.

APEGA Job Board vs. Techjobs.ca:

Like Techjobs.ca, APEGA Job Board catered to employers in search of engineering candidates. Techjobs.ca, however, also posts technical, automotive, and construction jobs. As opposed to the APEGA Job Board, which only covered Alberta with its standard job postings, Techjobs.ca targets the whole of Canada and allows employers to promote job posts.

APEGA Job Board vs. Indeed:

While Indeed is a free job posting site with a wide audience reach, APEGA Job Board was considered to be the official engineering and geosciences authority in Alberta. If you're searching for specific roles to fill within your company, then APEGA's Job Board would have assisted you in finding qualified candidates faster.

APEGA Job Board vs. ASET:

ASET is also an engineering association based in Alberta, however, they target technological paths within the engineering field. If you're looking for an IT engineer, then ASET would be a better option. The APEGA Job Board was more established and focused on engineering as well as geosciences, both of which make its reach wider than ASET's in Alberta.
