- Employer Portal accounts do not have the ability to post jobs directly to the Job Board. Jobs are automatically aggregated from other job sites. Read on to learn more about how your job opportunities can appear on our Job Board.
Indexed Job Boards
The following list highlights the most popular job boards employers can post to. The WE Data Tools (WDT) platform indexes hundreds of job boards including various small and regional job sites.
If you choose to post your job on any of these platforms, WDT will index it, amplifying your reach to potential candidates.
Job boards with a checkmark are preferred for their popularity and high visibility.

Job Posting Best Practices
When posting a job opportunity, we recommend the following best practices to attract qualified candidates, and to ensure that our system is able to extract the necessary details. These practices include:
1. Include Essential Details
Clearly list the salary range and job location, as this transparency helps set clear expectations and attract serious candidates. The following formats will get picked up by our system:
- $25.20 per hour
- $55,000 per year
- $22/hr
- $55,000/yr
- 22 cad hourly
- 50,000 cad yearly
- $22 to $24
- $40,000 – $50,000
- Hourly rate of $22
- Yearly rate of $50,000
2. Must-Have Skills
Begin your job post by stating the essential skills to filter out unqualified applicants early on.
3. Diversity and Inclusion
Add a diversity statement and avoid biased language to create an inclusive job ad. This also involves using neutral, unbiased language throughout the posting.
4. Benefit Highlights
Include a comprehensive list of benefits as part of the job listing to stand out and show candidates what you offer beyond a paycheque.
The following keyphrases will get picked up by our system and will tag the job/employer with Benefits accordingly:
- Dental Benefits
- Vision Benefits
- Health Benefits
5. Personality and Clarity
Use straightforward language and show some personality to make your job posting engaging and clear. Avoid jargon and “buzzwords” that might be off-putting.
6. Competitive Edge
Research the market and prepare to convey why your role is unique and attractive compared to others. This helps create a compelling message that can differentiate your opportunity from others.
7. Job Description Length
Keep job descriptions concise, ideally between 300-800 words, and list 5-10 key responsibilities or requirements.
8. Clear Objectives
Make sure to articulate the key objectives or outcomes expected from the position so candidates understand the role’s impact.
10. Readable Format
Organize the job description with bullet points and subheadings for better readability and to help candidates quickly grasp the essential information.
Employers who follow these practices can improve their chances of not only attracting more candidates but also finding those who are the best fit for the role and the organization’s culture.
