Jobs Abroad Bulletin

Review:

The Jobs Abroad Bulletin publishes an international blog and newsletter for traveling and seasonal workers in search of industry insights, community forums, and new job opportunities. While the platform is missing some key hiring tools, its free plan helps employers reach a targeted network of candidates at a fraction of the cost.

Although the job board is a valuable resource for global recruitment efforts, its local reach is not as good as some Canada-based alternatives, such as Summerjobs.ca.

Pros:

• Employers can use the job board to advertise a wide variety of part-time work, internships, and volunteer opportunities.
• The platform offers a free job posting plan.
• Jobs Abroad Bulletin has a premium posting package that includes a placement in its newsletter for added reach.
• Prominent companies that have used the job board include Habitat for Humanity, Sunsail, and Au Pair in America.
• The job posting process is simple.
• Employers with many vacancies to fill can purchase a discounted featured listing option that includes 12 job slots.

Cons:

• Pricing is not available in Canadian dollars.
• Vacancies are not immediately published and it may take a few days before they appear on the job board.
• The platform lacks a searchable resume database, applicant tracking tools, and candidate matching services.
• Listings aren't shared to the site's social media pages or distributed to other job boards.
