Bottomline:

The starkest difference between the two platforms is that Monster allows employers to post jobs directly to their job board, while Workopolis is a job search site only that directs employers looking to post jobs to its partner site, Indeed.

FAQs:

Which platform is easier for job applicants to use?

Both Monster and Workopolis make it as simple as possible for candidates to search for and apply for jobs. While Workopolis owns a much larger segment of the Canadian market, Monster offers job seekers a wide range of resources and apps that Workopolis does not.

Is Monster or Workopolis better for employers?

This really depends on your hiring needs, the size of your business, and your personal preference. Workopolis does not offer hiring tools itself but directs users to its affiliate site, Indeed, which offers employers a range of products, including free and sponsored job posting options.

Monster offers resume access and both pay-per-click and monthly subscription job posting plans to suit different hiring needs.

Does Workopolis post to Indeed?

Since Workopolis has partnered with Indeed, employers can no longer post directly to Workopolis but are directed to the Indeed platform to post jobs.
