Canada’s fastest growing Aboriginal career portal, AboriginalCareers.ca is pleased to introduce Canadian Aboriginal Job Seekers to a new approach to job searching. AboriginalCareers.ca brings simplicity, value, and functionality to the world of Canadian online job boards.
Through our partnership with Aboriginal Link’s Diversity Recruitment Program, we post jobs for Canada’s largest corporations and government departments. With our vertical job search engine technology, Aboriginal Job Seekers can search thousands of Aboriginal specific jobs in just about every industry, city, province and postal code.
AboriginalCareers.ca offers the hottest job listings from some of the nation’s top employers, and we will continue to add services and enhance functionality ensuring a more effective job search. For example, during a search, job seekers have the ability to rollover any job listing and read a brief description of the position to determine if the job is exactly what they’re searching for. This practical feature allows job seekers to only research jobs relevant to their search. By including elements like this, AboriginalCareers.ca can help reduce the time it takes to find and apply for the best, available jobs.
The team behind AboriginalCareers.ca is dedicated to connecting Canadian Aboriginal Peoples with great jobs along with the most time and cost-effective, career-advancing resources. It is our mission to develop and maintain a website where people can go to work!
Testimonials
I would like to take this opportunity to commend and thank you and your company for the terrific service that you have provided to the National Aboriginal Recruitment Team at the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). As a result of a quarterly faxing campaign, we are reaching areas of the country that would otherwise prove very costly and time consuming. Additionally, we are reaching interested candidates of all ages and education levels. We are able to provide information about our organization in terms of what we do, what we offer and what we give back. This messaging opportunity has created much more dialogue with Aboriginal community members. It is anticipated that this increased interest in the business and mandate of CSC will generate more Aboriginal applicants seeking employment opportunities with our organization.
From a recruitment perspective, reaching out to 2,800 Aboriginal community contacts across the country is invaluable. I believe that our initial attempts at strategic outreach are proving very successful.
The customer service approach and personal touch is very refreshing and meaningful. I appreciate the telephone calls, the e-mails and information provided by Aboriginal Link, as it provides me with valuable information to relay to my superiors on how things are progressing on a regular basis, without a great deal of time spent investigating and creating reports.
Meegwetch!
Sincerely,
Rayette Giles
Manager of Aboriginal Recruitment
Correctional Service Canada
“We signed up with Aboriginal Link and have been using their services for 2.5 months. We are the first providers in the Home Care industry to use Aboriginal Link, so we really had no sense of how successful the program would be. So far we have generated 50 website hits within our career section and have had 6 applicants, of which 2 we have hired on. We believe this speaks to a strong return in a very short period of time in terms of hiring Aboriginal talent. We look forward to continuing to attract Aboriginal applicants to Bayshore Home Health and sending the message that Aboriginal applicants are always welcome.”

I have been directly involved in Strategic Staffing and Sourcing since 1996. In my current role as Recruiting Manager for Weatherford Canada, I partnered with Aboriginal Link on their Diversity Recruitment Program.
I was admittedly skeptical when Sydney Schmidt, National Account Manager first approached me with this outreach tool. At that time, I was unaware that Direct Fax is considered a ‘Best Practice’ for communications to Canadian Aboriginal Peoples.
Our Aboriginal Link Diversity Recruitment Program provides us with effective outreach into the Aboriginal segment and our responseTRAC Dashboard allows us to see the responses to our Career Postings in ‘Real Time’. With the help of Aboriginal Link, Weatherford Canada is building a reputation of being an ‘Employer of Choice’ and demonstrating our commitment to Canadian Aboriginal Peoples.
The Aboriginal Link team provides excellent customer service and support. In addition, our Account Representative, Sydney Schmidt is always available to review campaign results and make creative suggestions that assist us even further.
Aboriginal Link’s Diversity Recruitment Program has proven successful and I am happy to say that Weatherford Canada will be continuing our partnership with Aboriginal Link into the future.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions regarding our program experience with Aboriginal Link.
