Good to know
Do I need to post a job first?
No. Candidate Search works on its own, using your free employer workspace.
What happens when my credits run out?
Buy a Hiring Pack or wait for your next monthly renewal. There are no automatic overage charges.
Will I receive email addresses or phone numbers?
Your current plan includes professional profiles and available LinkedIn links. Direct email addresses, phone numbers and in-app messaging are not currently included.
Can my team use it?
Authorized members use your employer’s shared credit balance. Team subscribers can also share saved search criteria. Returned profiles and shortlists stay private to the member who ran the search.
Are these exclusive or pre-screened candidates?
No. These are professional profiles sourced from People Data Labs, not an exclusive Jobs.ca talent pool. They have not been screened or contacted by Jobs.ca, may not be looking for work, and have not applied to your jobs. You choose the criteria and decide whom to explore further.
Your next shortlist starts with one search.
