Why post green jobs at WorkCabin?
10 ways that WorkCabin is different from other green job boards
1. Organizations benefit from a progressive service
We're not an aging job board stuck on Web 1.0 technology. WorkCabin is a career site destination. We continually invest to remain progressive.. A large and growing database of environmental professionals. Maximum flexibility for how to accept resumes. Mobile compatibility. Advanced tools and features. Instant onsite, online secure payment gateway and much more.
2. We do good work in Canada
WorkCabin stands apart from the many 'green job boards' out there trying to make a fast buck. WorkCabin is a boots-on-the-ground service. We do conservation work every day. WorkCabin is owned and operated by conservationists who are forest owners themselves, manage a forest under a provincially approved conservation plan, volunteer in the conservation field and do much more. Our founder is even a director with a Canadian world biosphere reserve foundation. We don't invest in Bullfrog Power or operate as corporate partner of 1% For The Planet as a marketing gimmick. We do it because it's key to what we do and believe.
3. Advanced applicant screening
We know employers want qualified applicants, rather than a flood of unqualified applicants. Our progressive and exclusive applicant screening system, the EcoTalent Optimizer, streamlines the recruiting process and filters out unqualified applicants so your inbox isn't overwhelmed.
4. Affordable rates and superior value
We love whales, but we don’t like whale-sized rates. Employers don’t pay $200-plus to post a single eco job ad at WorkCabin. Our everyday rates are $35 for nonprofits and $55 for commercial. We don't use time-limited gimmicks like 2-for-1 postings. Why? Because our everyday rates remain a better value, even when compared to other sites' gimmicks. When their gimmicks end you still have to pay whale-sized full prices.
5. 100% focus on being an environmental jobs site
WorkCabin is 100% dedicated to being a job site. Our web traffic is focused on jobs too. Other sites that include a job board as a secondary feature aren't 100% focused on being a job site. Neither is their web traffic. Oh, and we're owned and operated by people who actually do conservation work every day, not people who just talk about it.
6. Extensive promotion of your job ads
How does WorkCabin spread the word about your job postings? Our tools are extensive. Twitter. LinkedIn. Faceboook. RSS feeds. Syndication to quality aggregator career ad sites. Professional, weekly email campaigns (unlike some low-tech job boards, we don't use outdated, free listserve technology, that has no measurable data on deliverability and click-thru rates). Daily job alerts to subscribers' inboxes.
7. It costs money to use our professional service
We've got nothing against dishwasher jobs, live-in nanny jobs, or daycare jobs, but you won't find these types of jobs posted at WorkCabin. You'll typically see such jobs posted at inferior 'green' job boards that operate on a free-to-post or pay-what-you-can basis. These types of jobs don't get posted at WorkCabin because it costs money. We're fine with that. So is our audience. You won't find a Terrestrial Ecologist job ad next to a Live-in Nanny job ad at WorkCabin.ca.
8. An emphasis on all-inclusiveness
Some job sites focus on only one select experience level or sector, much to the chagrin of many candidates. WorkCabin is focused on helping a wide demographic of qualified and skilled candidates find entry level to senior career track employment opportunities and internships. Our users, as well as nonprofit and industry professionals, continually tell us that WorkCabin is relevant to a wider, skilled audience thereby making us the preferred environmental jobs site.
9. Google and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
The term SEO is no stranger to us at WorkCabin. We appear at or near the top of major search engines for all of the keywords most used by environmental job seekers. How do we know our approach is effective? More than 35% of visitor traffic to WorkCabin arrives via Google. That’s impressive use of Search Engine Optimization!
10. Universities and colleges love us!
It’s no secret among Canadian colleges and universities that many of WorkCabin’s job listings are particularly attractive to new and recent graduates. Employers know they can turn to us to find qualified and skilled young eco talent in Canada. Many college and university career centres have direct web links to WorkCabin.ca for this reason. In fact, 42% of our visitor traffic is skilled, and between the ages of 25 and 34.
