Pricing & FAQ

For eight years we permitted free posting of volunteer and internship postings, however, we received consistent and ongoing feedback from our audience (both job seekers and employers) about the quality and appropriateness of many volunteer and internship listings. So we decided to institute a fee for all postings effective Jan. 1, 2016. This has helped to attract only high quality, career-track volunteer and internship postings that a person seeking experience would actually consider travelling extra distance to do the volunteer or internship opportunity. One of the core strengths that separates WorkCabin from other job boards is our emphasis on quality opportunities. That includes emphasizing quality internships.

Sorry, only one job title per ad. A job ad for ‘various job title positions’ is not permitted ~ jobs must be inputted as individual jobs ads. By doing this, you also ensure maximum effectiveness through our feeds, social media, and search algorithms. Example: You cannot advertise a position with the job title Now Hiring Summer Students, and then list an entire series of different job titles in the advertisement. The jobs must be inputted as separate job titles.

Sorry, but because of the proliferation of macro-viruses, job advertisements can not be uploaded to the website as attachments. Please use our online form to create and edit your job postings.

Re-posting of an advertisement after 60 days from the original posting date is considered to be a new ad, and therefore normal ad rates apply.

Sorry, we do not offer free job posting. Just like you, we have administrative costs and overhead, increasing costs year over year, and we have to pay bills too. We do offer a discounted posting rate for nonprofits and an affordable rate for commercial clients and government agencies. We purposely keep our rates lower than other comparable, professional-level job sites. This ensures that even the smallest organizations can afford to post environmental jobs with us and use a professional service to attract the right candidates.

Yes, we process receipts and email them out each week. If you haven’t received a receipt in three days, please contact us.

Yes. We offer the option of using our secure, onsite, online payment process. You remain on WorkCabin throughout the online payment process. You can pay online using MasterCard or Visa.

Log in to your Account Centre. Hover your the job title you wish to update and the word ‘Edit’ will appear.

All single job ads are for a maximum 60 days. Re-posted job ads are subject to our regular posting rates.

Yes! Our Facebook page has more than 10,000 followers. And our Twitter streams have 15,000+ followers. Our founder and general manager personally does WorkCabin’s Twitter account to ensure we are connecting on a genuine level with our audiences — it’s why WorkCabin is often cited as being the leader for authenticity among environmental job boards. He not only promotes your job advertisements, but he also converses daily about conservation work (because he does conservation and forestry work too!).

For quality control we review all job advertisements before they are made live. We usually activate advertisements within 60 minutes or less, however, it can take a few hours if we are out doing field work. If you do not see your ad online within 24 hours, please email us at nature(at)workcabin.ca.

We’re a niche job site. Because of that we’re recognized for quality and skilled applicants rather than quantity (ie. general job seekers and hopeful career-changers like you’d get from generalist job boards). If there’s one thing we’ve learned over many years in the job site business it’s this: our clients use WorkCabin because they don’t want a Mount Everest-sized pile of resumes from unqualified applicants originating from general Monster-sized job boards. That being said, job markets can go through challenging phases such as highly competitive, uncertainty, economic downtowns, etc. that can reduce movement or availability of candidates.

Our system allows you to choose to pay online, or pay by cheque.

Absolutely, yes. WorkCabin is fully secure and handles transactions directly on our site. We accept VISA or Mastercard.

WorkCabin has achieved tremendous growth in Canada since launching in 2007. We’re humbled to now be widely acknowledged by a wide margin as Canada’s largest go-to source for quality conservation job postings. Our website visitor traffic hits up to 100,000 visitors per month.

WorkCabin is widely widely regarded as the No. 1 professional resource of its kind in Canada. Our client employers and job seekers know that. Our listings don’t leave folks scratching their heads about what our focus is. We’re not all over the map, like some job boards that toss in a ‘conservation’ job category among a zillion other non-conservation categories. Our community is very focused. Our community is also very qualified.

Yes. We occasionally have rejected postings that are not suitable for our focus. WorkCabin is a professional-level paid-service job board and that enables us to attract professional-level clients and job postings. WorkCabin has become successful because many quality conservation organizations see WorkCabin as a shared-values partner and a valuable brand resource to feature their jobs. Job candidates have come to depend on us for those high quality career-track jobs.
