How to Post a Job on WorkBC:

WorkBC vs. BCjobs:
BCjobs claims to be the biggest job board in Western Canada. It only offers paid-for job postings starting at C$219.00 whilst WorkBC is a government-run initiative that offers free job postings to registered Canadian companies. BCjobs has a simpler job posting process which may appeal to some employers as well as company profile customization.
WorkBC vs. CPHR BC & Yukon Job Board:
CPHR BC & Yukon is a membership organization that hosts a job board for HR professionals in BC and Yukon. The CPHR BC & Yukon job board focuses on jobs in the human resources (HR) sector which limits their reach, impact, and candidate pool for certain positions. Unlike WorkBC, they don't offer free job posting options.
WorkBC vs. Monster:
Monster offers paid job posting options that cover Canada and the world.
