Job Search Resources

Job Boards allow you to search job postings from companies based on what you are looking for in your next job including industry, job title, company or skills required. Some recommended options include Indeed, Workopolis, Neuvoo and EMET Employment Services. 

Recruitment Agencies act as an intermediary between a company that’s looking to hire someone and a job seeker who is looking for employment. The recruitment agency works to find the most suitable candidate for any job openings they have been hired to fill. Most agencies don’t charge the job seekers for their services. Here are some of the larger recruitment agencies in the GTA:

  • AppleOne
  • Ares Staffing Solutions 
  • Altis Recruitment
  • Lannick
  • Robert Half
  • Hays
