MTEC Job Board

Review:

The MTEC Job Board offers employers in Manitoba's tourism, hospitality, and retail sectors a targeted approach to finding local hires. While the job posting service is completely free, the site has little more to offer in terms of hiring tools, missing job post enhancements, branding opportunities, resume searches, and candidate management tools.

Pros:

• The job posting service is free.
• The site claims to attract a weekly average of more than 2,400 job seekers to its job site.
• The job posting process is quick and simple.
• Employers can customize the job post duration to any number of days up to 30.

Cons:

• There are no options to enhance job posts with employer branding or for increased visibility and exposure.
• The site does not offer candidate management tools or resume searches.

MTEC Job Board vs. RestoJobs:

Restojobs offers better features than the MTEC Job Board, such as social media promotion, job distribution, and employer branding tools. While the MTEC Job Board offers a free job posting service, RestoJobs' free plan is limited to internship listings, and it costs C$25.00 to post a standard job ad on the site.

MTEC Job Board vs. MBJobcentre.ca:

MBJobcentre.ca does not have a free plan, and its paid plans start at C$219.00 for a 60-day post. MTEC Job Board, by comparison, only offers 30-day listings but is completely free. The latter has fewer features, lacking resume searches, which the former offers, but is the better option for targeted hiring for retail and tourism roles in Manitoba.

MTEC Job Board vs. EightSix Network:

MTEC Job Board and EightSix Network are both niche job boards, but MTEC Job Board primarily caters to Manitoba's tourism industry, whereas EightSix Network's focus is on the hospitality sector across the country. Both offer free job postings, but the latter has better features, such as resume searches and an applicant tracking system.
