C&ENjobs is a dedicated chemical and engineering job board provided by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Employers can use the job board to advertise their job vacancies to a highly targeted audience of engineering and scientific research professionals and access a large resume database.

While the site is U.S.-based, it allows international job postings and attracts website visitors from across the globe. However, the vast majority of website traffic comes from the U.S. Canadian employers can use the site to recruit international candidates, but it may be less effective for finding local hires.

Review:

C&ENjobs is a dedicated job board for chemical and engineering professionals. It offers a range of job posting features, including a home page spotlight, highlighted job ads, and priority search result placement. The site also offers a searchable resume database but is costlier than other niche sites, such as BioSpace job board and EngineeringCareers.ca.

Canadian employers can use the site to reach an international audience, though the majority of site traffic comes from the U.S. The platform doesn't attract many visitors from Canada, making it less suitable for employers looking to recruit locally.

Discounted bulk posting packs are available.

Employers can add their job post to an issue of C&EN Magazine for an extra fee.
The site features a searchable database of more than 5,000 resumes.
The Gold Job Posting plan includes a featured employer profile, highlighted job, home page spotlight, and more.

Cons:

There is no free job posting plan.
The site is costlier than some other niche job boards, such as BioSpace job board and EngineeringCareers.ca.
There is no French language option.
Pricing is only available in U.S. dollars.
There are no local customer support channels for Canada-based users.

C&ENjobs vs. CIC Job Board:

C&ENjobs and CIC Job Board are both employment portals for professionals in the chemical sciences. While CIC Job Board does not make pricing information readily available, making it difficult to compare the cost-effectiveness of the two sites, it is the better option for local recruiting, as it caters specifically to the Canadian market.

C&ENjobs vs. EngineeringCareers.ca:

C&ENjobs offers a more targeted approach to recruiting chemistry professionals, whereas EngineeringCareers.ca caters to engineers across disciplines. However, EngineeringCareers.ca is the more affordable of the two sites and has a stronger foothold in Canada, whereas C&ENjobs attracts mostly U.S.-based website visitors.

C&ENjobs vs. BioSpace Job Board:

C&ENjobs and BioSpace are both dedicated employment sites for chemistry professionals and feature a searchable resume database, company profiles, and enhanced job postings. While Biospace stands out as the more affordable option, neither site has a strong presence in Canada.
