Conservation Careers

Review:

Established in 2013, Conservation Careers has a wealth of experience in connecting employers with a range of qualified professionals in the environmental and conservation sectors. The platform boasts a range of recruitment features, such as job post syndication and social media promotion, to streamline the hiring process.

While the platform does not offer a free job posting option, its plans are competitively priced and employers have access to a specialized audience of environmental and conservation professionals. However, Conservation Careers does not list its pricing in Canadian dollars and lacks local customer support channels.

Pros:

• The site has over 15,000 conservation jobs, volunteer, and internship positions currently being advertised.
• Employers can select the level of job seekers they are looking to hire, including early-, mid-, and senior-level positions.
• The site provides additional career support for employers, including application reviews.
• Conservation Careers allows job seekers to search for positions by keyword, location, and category.
• The site provides additional resources such as guides, videos, and advice.
• Employers' job posts can reach up to 22,000 candidates in Canada.
• The site is used by some of the largest conservation organizations in the world, such as the WWF and BirdLife International.
• Conservation Careers promotes jobs via its social media channels and weekly emails.
• The site advertises positions posted through their job board on their partner websites.

Cons:

• There is no free job posting option.
• Pricing is only available in U.S. dollars, pound sterling, and euros.
• The platform lacks applicant tracking and candidate matching tools.
• The website is not available in French.
• There are no local customer support channels in Canada.

Reputation:

While we were unable to find any online reviews of Conservation Careers, it has a page of handpicked testimonials on its website with positive reviews of their past placements and job advertising successes.

Conservation Careers vs. GoodWork.ca:

GoodWork.ca caters exclusively to the Canadian job market, which may make it the better option for local hiring. However, Conservation Careers has a strong presence in Canada and also has a global presence. GoodWork.ca is the more affordable option, charging C$30.00 per post, compared to the latter's US$115.00 per post.

Conservation Careers vs. Canadian Environmental Network (RCEN) Goodwork Job Board:

The RCEN Goodwork job board charges C$50.00 for a single job posting, compared to Conservation Careers' starting price of US$115.00 per post, making the former a more budget-friendly choice. Both platforms feature social media promotion, but only the RCEN Goodwork job board caters exclusively to the Canadian job market.

Conservation Careers vs. ECO Canada Job Board:

While ECO Canada features social media promotion, it lacks job post upgrades for increased exposure. By contrast, Conservation Careers distributes job ads to partner websites and gives employers access to a larger audience of talent. In addition, Conservation Careers is more affordable, charging US$115.00 per post.
