CareerBeacon vs. Monster:

Monster is an online job board featuring jobs from around the world, while CareerBeacon is aimed at Canadian job seekers. Monster's pricing starts at C$15.00 per day. Upper-tier Monster packages also distribute posts to other job boards. CareerBeacon has a higher starting price but offers more hiring features.

CareerBeacon vs. Indeed:

Indeed is the largest online job board and it allows employers to post jobs for free. Employers can also sponsor job posts to make them more visible. It is up to the employer to set a budget for sponsored posts. While Indeed offers more exposure, CareerBeacon offers more hiring tools. The disadvantage of using CareerBeacon is that prices are set.

CareerBeacon vs. Eluta.ca:

Eluta.ca is a Canadian job board that offers free and paid packages. The site has a large audience and aggregates jobs from company websites daily. It lacks features such as applicant tracking and resume searching, making CareerBeacon a more useful job board.
