Nature Careers

Review:

Nature Careers, the dedicated job board of Nature, a well-established science publication, gives Canadian employers a targeted approach to recruiting international professionals for scientific roles. Standout features include an extended post duration of 60 days, an employer profile, and email alerts to relevant, subscribed job seekers.

For better visibility, employers can opt for the Enhanced and Premium plans. While the site also offers employer branding options, it doesn't feature resume searches or job post distribution to other career sites. Compared to some niche competitors, such as ScienceCareers and the BioSpace job board, Nature Careers is a rather costly option.

Pros:

• Employers can choose from several plans tailored to different hiring needs.
• Job ads are shared with registered job seekers via email alerts.
• The site offers a longer-than-average job post duration of 60 days.
• Employer branding and content solutions are available.
• Enhanced job ads stand out with a colored background.
• The Premium plan includes AI-powered email alerts to candidates who have applied for similar roles.
• Employers get a 15% discount when they purchase a pack of five Enhanced listings.
• The platform offers customer support channels for North America.

Cons:

• There is no free job posting plan.
• The five-pack of Enhanced listings must be used within 90 days of purchase.
• The site does not have a searchable resume database or an applicant tracking system.
• The platform is not available in French.
• The job posting service is costlier than some of its niche competitors.
• Pricing is not available in Canadian dollars.
