Dribbble

Review:

Dribbble equips job seekers and employers with a creative space to explore job opportunities, share content and feedback, and showcase projects. While the site is widely recognized as an online networking site, employers are able to post full-time, part-time, and freelance job opportunities.

For Canadian employers, Dribbble offers access to an international database that's perfect for those looking to hire remote workers. However, employers looking to hire local candidates fast may find better success with job boards such as FreshGigs.ca, thanks to the two competitors' local reach and popularity.

• Employers gain access to an international database that features a wide pool of creative talent.
• Job seekers are able to search for jobs by location and specialties to help find niche jobs faster.
• Canadian employers can post job vacancies or freelance projects.
• Reputable companies such as Facebook, Dropbox, Apple, and Shopify use Dribbble.
• Features a large community of designers and creatives with helpful resources, tutorials, and design tips.
• Dribbble offers excellent filters and hiring tools for searching for suitable candidates.

Cons:

• Dribbble does not support French translation.
• Pricing is only available in U.S. dollars.
• Dribbble support is only available via email.
• The platform lacks applicant tracking tools.
• Job posts are not shared on social media.
