CIC Job Board

Review:

The CIC Job Board, hosted on the CIC website, is a niche portal for Canadian chemical science jobs. Employers can post their job openings on the job board to reach a highly defined audience of qualified candidates and promote their company to candidates through additional marketing and partnership opportunities offered by the CIC.

The CIC Job Board does not feature an online dashboard for employers to manage job posts themselves, and the job board is only accessible to CIC members. However, job postings are shared on the CIC's social media pages, reaching more the 15,000 followers, and are sent to more than 8,500 email subscribers.
